LOL. I think it would only work a 3/4 of the time.

Behind a keyboard everyone is invincible and can say all sorts of shit without understanding the fallout. Face to face you either have a pair who are equal in stature or not. Bigger people may not be correct but they can be more intimidating and might may be right, even if unfair. People who are the same size can agree, agree to disagree, or whatever - or take their chances and duke it out. Physicality is not the only measure. Intellectual giants and dominating personalities may be in smaller bodies. And of course there's also body language and facial expressions, micro or not.

All of these typical normal human interactions learned by people are being eroded by masks and autism and keyboards and fondle slabs.

Virtual Reality will bring back the mall. A social gathering space where people can hang out, buy and sell goods, and you'll tell who the assholes are by their lack of haptic feedback sensors because they don't want to feel the punch.

There's already a few devices that allow for face movement in vr. It's all still a work in progress. If Elon is being even half-honest with what he's telling the public, then the world will be back to the 2000's era chaos in twenty years. (That's if the technology isn't just banned outright)
