Thesis (M.S.)--The American University of Paris (France), 2024.

This thesis frames the ethical implications of the Metaverse and virtual reality technology (henceforth called the digital universe for this document's purposes) within the dominant theory surrounding simulations and how the digital universe will affect society via acting back as objects act back on their subjects (Ingold, 2010). Four main approaches are used: the main thesis narrative, an interview narrative, an autoethnographic narrative, and an analysis of fiction, stories, and quotes. As virtual reality, simulation, AI and XR/VR technologies rapidly advance, society readies itself to answer the question of what it will mean to enter into a simulated environment; this thesis specifically seeks to answer what that will look like (entitling the the process becoming: virtual, an extension of Deleuze and Guattari's concept of becoming: animal, (Deleuze and Guattari, 2013) and more importantly, what can be lost in that process of becoming: virtual without careful ethical precautions due to the lack of atmosphere and general incomprehensability of the hyper object digital universe. Baudrillard's simulation theory as a grounding text is used to justify the empirical argument that anything created in a virtual reality will be missing some a postieri which is essential to human essence, and that is specifically why virtual reality, and by extension, the digital universe, can only be unethical (without this crucial missing piece.) Only via application of the Cynefin Framework and understanding of the nature of the hyper object of virtual reality will there be any possibility for ethical management of this domain. If ethical management is not achieved, the results will mirror Zuboff's Surveillance Capitalism and result in a continuation of Big Other, which will be detrimental to individual privacies and freedoms.
