Popis: All our fundamental aspects of living a fulfilled life have become at odds with progress. This chapter will consider what are the key components of humanity, thereby addressing the fundamental question of whether metaverse going to alter our understanding of humanity, peace, and collegiality. This chapter aims to trigger a conceptual debate by applying a digital anthropological framework to examine how human beings have been socially conditioned to think, perceive, and anticipate. In doing so, the authors argue that the social construction of fear of the unknown prevents humans from critically analysing our relationship with humanity and technology. Additionally, the chapter aims to initiate some discussion around (1) metaverse and what it means in a human world; (2) will the virtually modified human beings recreate or alter humanity; (3) what would peace look like in metaverse?
