They were just games, they never thought to design a metaverse. They promise to make a great MMO and then suddenly switch into singleplayer for the sake of more money. Dual Universe is really different. The success of this metaverse very deeply depended on our creations and how we make to interact with another human being in the metaverse. Yeah EVE also tried that before, and the community of the EVE were very well motivated, but it required more than that. I think Dual Universe will become the next big thing for the coming decade if community responds well. I think it will.

It is more than a game DarthSarcasm, a metaverse. Everything built by a human user. Not only buildings, stories as well. Dual Universe has a great potential to become a next big thing for the coming decade. We have no idea what happens when augmented reality implemented into a metaverse. We live in an exciting time.

Mises and Rothbard.

Man is born naked into the world, and needing to use his mind to learn how to take the resources given him by nature, and to transform them (for example, by investment in “capital”) into shapes and forms and places where the resources can be used for the satisfaction of his wants and the advancement of his standard of living. The only way by which man can do this is by the use of his mind and energy to transform resources (“production”) and to exchange these products for products created by others. Man has found that, through the process of voluntary, mutual exchange, the productivity and hence, the living standards of all participants in exchange may increase enormously. The only “natural” course for man to survive and to attain wealth, therefore, is by using his mind and energy to engage in the production-and-exchange process. He does this, first, by finding natural resources, and then by transforming them (by “mixing his labor” with them, as Locke puts it), to make them his individual property, and then by exchanging this property for the similarly obtained property of others. The social path dictated by the requirements of man’s nature, therefore, is the path of “property rights” and the “free market” of gift or exchange of such rights. Through this path, men have learned how to avoid the “jungle” methods of fighting over scarce resources so that A can only acquire them at the expense of B and, instead, to multiply those resources enormously in peaceful and harmonious production and exchange. The great German sociologist Franz Oppenheimer pointed out that there are two mutually exclusive ways of acquiring wealth; one, the above way of production and exchange, he called the “ economic means.” The other way is simpler in that it does not require productivity; it is the way of seizure of another’s goods or services by the use of force and violence. This is the method of one-sided confiscation, of theft of the property of others. This is the method which Oppenheimer termed “the political means” to wealth. It should be clear that the peaceful use of reason and energy in production is the “natural” path for man: the means for his survival and prosperity on this earth. It should be equally clear that the coercive, exploitative means is contrary to natural law; it is parasitic, for instead of adding to production, it subtracts from it. The “political means” siphons production off to a parasitic and destructive individual or group; and this siphoning not only subtracts from the number producing, but also lowers the producer’s incentive to produce beyond his own subsistence. In the long run, the robber destroys his own subsistence by dwindling or eliminating the source of his own supply. But not only that; even in the short-run, the predator is acting contrary to his own true nature as a man. We are now in a position to answer more fully the question: what is the State? The State, in the words of Oppenheimer, is the “organization of the political means”; it is the systematization of the predatory process over a given territory. For crime, at best, is sporadic and uncertain; the parasitismis ephemeral, and the coercive, parasitic lifeline may be cut off at any time by the resistance of the victims. The State provides a legal, orderly, systematic channel for the predation of private property; it renders certain, secure, and relatively “peaceful” the lifeline of the parasitic caste in society.

More specific plans? It all depends what DU allows and Novean interactions. Here are my next five or ten year plan: Build a small city with M. Rothbard ideas and ideals. Create a financial system where venture capitalists, hedge funds and medium-sized institutional investors meet via stocks and options exchange. Protect financial players from fraud/scams by proper regulation and laws supported by military establishments.

Really excited, seen JC's videos and his passion and decided to join DU. Open to all kind of suggestions to achieve my short and long term goal/plan. Short/Long term plan: Survive! and build the universe.
