The Great Filter theory, specifically what is called the Upper Income Trap -- once a civilization reaches a certain standard of living, approximately that of present day upper-middle-class Westerners, it stops reproducing and then dies out.

Almost a solution to the Fermi Paradox, except it’s the Virtual Reality Trap

Both are unlikely in practice imo, because they make an N-of-N assumption.

If even one culture can keep fertility rates high while others go low, it will end up dominating population-wise.

If even one culture can continue to focus on the physical world while others go virtual, it will end up dominating militarily.

I sort of agree, optimized consumption on its own could be considered an optimistic degrowth. 

do you think that the influx of recorded public data is a public good, assuming that other FOSS versions of AR catch up imminently?

In a sense, yes but should this really be termed "degrowth" though? I've seen a lot of techno-optimists argue that growth is all about using a given finite set of resources in intelligent ways to produce more.

Sounds like futuristic movies, it's easier but it'll eventually become boring

There are a decent amount of physical resources required to enable  a vision pro experience

Spot on, @vitalik.eth! 🌍 Apple Vision Pro epitomizes the shift towards digital minimalism. It's incredible how tech like this allows us to live large in virtual spaces while treading lightly in the physical world. A true testament to sustainable tech evolution and the future of the Metaverse! 📱🍃
