Xia Ying, a professor in the Department of philosophy of Tsinghua University, said in a series of interviews with "philosophers talking about the meta universe" on the surging news that the meta universe is actually a false black hole constructed by the flow of capital. With the help of the meta universe, capital is further subjecting people's life to the basic logic and lifestyle they give, which brings not a real liberation, but a deeper alienation. Xia Ying warned that today, capital logic has gradually abandoned its operation logic as a simple commodity production. Their profit mode no longer depends only on the production of a specific product, but has become a huge organ free body, relying on a flow itself to make profits. They can bet on any commodity or a concept, As long as this commodity and concept can bring more surplus value. Financial capital is like a huge network platform, and metauniverse is the best interpretation of this network platform.
