Another difference from 2016 map is there are no landscape-shaping individuals. Permaweird is too hyper complex for individuals to loom large, Big Men or small. The era of Big Men is done. Only name that appears is Xi but he’s only pwned China, not reshaped it

2016 map had Trump, Bernie, Hillary looming large. The map org was the Thiel 2x2. Bezos, Musk, Thiel had named presences.
2022 map… that sort of thing feels wrong
Might put a harambe motif somewhere though

Items must be at least potentially world post-historically significant, not just your pet themes

Oh 2x2 logic is clear:
X: pre-post Weirding,
Y: AI vs crypto ~= commie vs libertarian
Thiel gets a bit of structural credit here too. Half an axis. In 2016 I used his determinate/indeterminate optimist/pessimist 2x2 fully

Need a way to suggest multiverse/bespoke realities/simulation in a fundamental way. Maybe do a misregistered near-duplicate layer 🤔

Maybe a mesh of independent, merging, and fractal bubbles? An infinite regress of personal realities, some overlapping others.

That’s roughly cozyweb archipelago but hmm could mess with that to be overlapping etc

Or you could take inspiration from VRChat for the metaverse stuff and just have a crap load of cat girls and such, lots of VRChat cliches

Those seem a bit niche/ephemeral though. I think you can’t pick a representative thing because it undermines the point of noncanoncity
