25 - See You in the Metaverse!

Our reality is starting to look interestingly similar to that of
a Black Mirror episode. In this episode, Kristina and Tolu talk
about the potential benefits and drawbacks of a metaverse,
particularly how virtual reality (VR) may affect mental health.
Tolu brings up the research she did on Facebook, and how the
metaverse is not a newly realized goal. They talk about how VR is
starting to be implemented in situations other than gaming (e.g.,
work). The new DSM is rumored to release in March, so they
discuss the rumored additions, as well as disorders that might
not be added (such as Problematic Internet Use Disorder).
However, they also bring up an alternative to the DSM. Kristina
recalls past episodes where the function of a metaverse was
slightly foreshadowed. The term of the episode is Metaverse.
