It seems to me that psychoanalytical thought, especially as developed out of Freud{\textquoteright}s work by Lacan and {\v Z}i{\v z}ek, offers a powerful means of understanding the underlying desires driving the development of such technologies. Lacan{\textquoteright}s work allows us to see how the virtual world of the Metaverse manifests elements of our unconscious response to our own humanness.",
