Lil Nas X is a master of attracting attention, from his eye-popping red carpet looks to his devilish music video for “Montero (Call Me by Your Name),” which sparked outrage from conservative media. It is perhaps no surprise, then, that a religious group showed up outside his Boston, Mass., concert Sunday night to protest the provocative artist. Lil Nas, an expert at disarming those who criticize or spew hatred toward him, decided to capitalize on the moment with a kind gesture. Lil Nas captioned the video: “Update: they didn’t want the pizza but I accidentally fell in love with one of the homophobic protestors.”The “Industry Baby” rapper is currently on his “Long Live Montero” tour, his first string of headlining dates. Starting Nov. 8, Lil Nas will go overseas to wrap up the tour’s last leg in Europe, which ends on Nov. 17 in Barcelona, Spain.

☆ Opinion: The metaverse holds great promise — and great risk

But the metaverse could be so much more than one man’s quest for control over our virtual lives. Like the real world (at least in any capitalist society), it has to incentivize individuals to participate in and grow the economy. The metaverse needs to be a reasonable facsimile of the real world, where I can spend my money and wear my Adidas where I want.

No metaverse built by humans is going to be void of the human instinct to want power, and that power could be enormous.
