The metaverse, a rapidly evolving platform, is both intriguing and controversial. Its creators bear responsibility for its negative impact on humanity and the impressive outcomes it offers. While the metaverse can drive society forward, it also presents challenges such as loneliness, social cascades, job shifts due to artificial intelligence, and exacerbated inequality due to the digital divide. Businesses and financial players need better strategies to navigate the digital landscape. Being well connected to technology is only as good as the wellness of humanity. To move forward, we must align our priorities, ethics, and values in both the metaverse and the humanverse. The metaverse places humanity at the center, while the humanverse and metaverse can meet at the epicenter of human empathy. By working together, we can work towards a better future for humanity.
