Episode notes

Tyler Cowell: There are a lot of odd lessons that to day's platforms seem actually devolved, not evolved, from sex on the medaverse. In nearly every market, none of the most popular pornography sites is allowed an application. Pornography plays fine in the web browser but if you want to do something in haptics or three d, you need an ap. And so actual what we might or might not want to do in the mediverse when it comes to sex is essentially all block rit. It's not an option. Can't do it won't be allowed.

Fighting fires meant a lot of downtime for Matthew Ball. Stationed at a forward operating base in the woods for two weeks at a time, he spent long hours amongst fellow firefighters with whom he shared little in common except for their love of the outdoors. The skills he gained working towards mutual goals with those he had little else in common with has translated well to his career as a strategist and venture capitalist in the digital media and gaming industries. Ball is a managing partner of EpyllionCo, venture partner at Makers Fund, and author of the anticipated The Metaverse: And How it Will Revolutionize Everything.

Ball joined Tyler to discuss the eventual widespan transition of the population to the metaverse, the exciting implications of this interconnected network of 3D worlds for education, how the metaverse will improve dating and its impacts on sex, the happiness and career satisfaction of professional gamers, his predictions for Tyler’s most frequent uses of the metaverse, his favorite type of entrepreneur, why he has thousands of tabs open on his computer at any given moment, and more.
