One fine morning, without the need to
be narrated using birdsong, the sun rises from the eastern horizon, and the air
is not stained with exhaust fumes. Mark Zuckerberg, the boss of the Facebook
company--now renamed "Meta", was enjoying a cup of coffee in the
pavilion in front of the house, suddenly the boss of Tesla came, who else if
not Elon Musk, stopped by from his morning jog
"Can I join or not boss?"
asked Elon who suddenly sat down while grabbing the fried sweet potato which
was still warm
"Well .., acting pretentious
permission everything, okay what do you want? Just to the point!” Mark quickly
pulled his plate of fried cassava from Elon's reach
"So this is mark..."
Oh yes, the chat between Mark and Elon
is of course just imaginary, right... continue...
"So like this Mark, I want to ask,
the goal of your Metaverse project is just to make money, do you have other
intentions? For the sake of making humanity happy, for example.”
“Hallah Lon-lon…, you are acting
stupid, now I ask again, is your ambition to create a colony on Mars for the
sole purpose of saving human civilization? It's just for money, right?
"Wahahaha..., that's right! Our
minds are of the same frequency as Mark, we deserve to be the richest people on
this planet, right?”
"Heh... you can't be arrogant like
that Lon...
So, mas Elon... the Metaverse will
eventually become heavenly without humans having to die first. Drugs, which
have been the most expensive commodity, will definitely not sell in a decade.
What's the point of having a headache and having a pill when there is a more
serene opiate, in the metaverse, humans really feel like they are in heaven,
they want anything, they want to be anything, they can do whatever they want,
they can be free… loose…!
Through a set of VR tools and Nanochips
that are injected into the back of the neck, humans will be able to enter a new
universe where all the content in it can be designed however they like. If you
want to have a luxurious house, you can, you want to have your own sea and mountains,
you can, you want to collect angels, anyway, what has been just wishful
thinking in the metaverse has become a reality!”
"As long as you have money,
right?" Elon said while sipping Mark's coffee which had been brewed for
several minutes when the owner was very excited to present his new universe.
"Yes, yes... how come there is a
free heaven...! But of course it will be more affordable than flying to Mars,
which might even fall into a black hole.
Eh, by the way, how will you live
there, Lon? Seriously, I'm just curious.."
"Yes, in the near future we will
send a space cargo plane first, transport logistics to survive for about a
year, then selected people who are tired of living on earth and want to try to
find their fortune will come to Mars. Then we will live in sophisticated
portable tents. Apart from farming, we will also carry out terraforma to breed
plants so they can produce oxygen. Anyway, it's fun, just like in the movies!
This is certainly more challenging than the metaverse, a fake that spins around
in the human brain,” Elon sneered at Mark with sparkling eyes.
"Eh, Mas Elon, we are already
super rich, it seems that our wealth will not run out for seven generations.
Why don't we just share the joy of giving cash to poor people for business
capital, right? It's simpler than us going to the trouble of developing crazy
projects that are expensive, not necessarily a return on investment, you
know," suggested Mark.
“Well…, those people are also the same
as us…, there's no word satisfied! It's human nature. For example, we make them
a free house, they want to have more rice fields/gardens, they already have a
private island, they want to have their own planet or world like the metaverse
you created. It's also free for us to share money! People who are able to be
grateful will definitely be able to make peace with any kind of
circumstances."
“Lhoh-lhoh… how come you can think
wisely, Lon? It's like Indonesian netijens when you comment on other people...
don't run out of big money from the crypto coins you fried, right?"
"Wkwkwkwk, you know Mark"
