how to succeed in the metaverse
“If we are to succeed in the metaverse, then the logical productivity check list would include exploiting virtual Aboriginal experiences.”
Virtual Aboriginal Excellence Experiences
Run like Cathy Freeman winning Gold at the Sydney Olympics, kick the 1000th goal like Buddy Franklin, win a Grand Slam like Ash Barty, score a try like Greg Inglis or Josh Addo-Carr, kick a conversion like Jonathon Thurston, run down the wing of the MCG like Michael Long on AFL Grand Final Day, win the Brownlow Medal like Gavin Wanganeen or Adam Goodes.
Or there are cultural experiences
Perform in a Corrobboree, throw a spear or boomerang, play a didgeridoo, go traditional hunting.
Or do we dare go into the deficit Aboriginal experiences
Incarceration, living under the Aborigines Act, on a mission or reserve.
Or the ‘casual racism’ experience
Being followed in a shop, being pulled over by the police to being asked if the car you are driving belongs to you, to be denied entry into a nightclub for some ‘apparent’ reason.
Depending on what experience people have, it would be great to build a narrative to capture the feelings and emotion, of great pride, or shame, anger and hopelessness.
