Key Points:

• Meta lost $73B proving that infrastructure without purpose creates ghost towns.

• Hardware friction is a myth: History shows users tolerate massive friction (early smartphones) if the value is clear.

• Beat Saber & VRChat succeeded not because of tech, but because they solved for "embodied meaning" rather than simulation.

• It's time to stop porting 2D concepts to 3D and start building for presence.
