Excerpt from a podcast interview (Step into the Metaverse, EP31) with Athena Demos describing how large companies can use the Metaverse to connect global divisions and consultants to foster communal creative collaboration. She emphasizes building a foundation for radical inclusivity and immediacy, and designing platforms that promote radical self-reliance—teaching traditional artisans digital skills so they can earn livelihoods (example: hammer-and-nail artists making a living during the pandemic after learning digital creation).

Chapters

A large company coming into the Metaverse now has an opportunity to connect their divisions that are all over the world and maybe bring in more consultants into the communal effort to spread ideas and allow them to flourish. Creative collaboration flourishes in an environment like the Metaverse. Yeah. When it has a. When it has a foundation. When you say, okay, how can this be? How can we create more communal effort? How can we create more radical inclusivity? How does this answer the call to immediacy? All those little like, how can we help people be more radically self reliant? That's what we did when we created our platform, is how can we help people be more radically self reliant so they can create this stuff themselves? And now we have people that were hammer and nail artists that are making a living through the pandemic because we taught them the skills to do it digitally.
