A
Dystopian Vision of the Future
November
17, 2021
As the
World Economic Forum prepares for the return of
their annual
meeting in Davos, Switzerland,
the
"international organization for Public-Private cooperation"
is launching the
next phase of The Great Reset agenda:
The Great
Narrative...
On November 11th and 12th, the World Economic Forum held a 2-day
meeting called "The
Great Narrative" in Dubai, United Arab Emirates to
discuss,
"longer-term
perspectives" and "co-create a narrative that can help guide the
creation of a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable vision
for our collective future".
The WEF gathered
futurists, scientists, and philosophers from around the world to
dream up their 'vision' of how to
reset the world and imagine what it
might look like in the next 50 years.
The discussions will be
collected and published in a forthcoming book, The Great Narrative,
in January 2022.
The release of
The Great Narrative book will
coincide with the annual WEF meeting on January 17 to 21st, 2022 in
Davos, Switzerland, with the focus "Working Together, Restoring
Trust".
According to
the WEF, the,
"meeting will focus on accelerating stakeholder capitalism,
harnessing the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
and ensuring a more inclusive future of work".
The message is
essentially the same one the WEF and their partners have been
calling for since the beginning of the COVID-19 event - a
Great Reset of the economic, governmental, healthcare, food
production, and technological systems which underpin all of human
life.
The Great Reset
agenda was
announced in early June 2020 by the WEF as an apparent response
to COVID-19.
The launch of The
Great Reset was supported by,
The WEF has spent
the last year spinning their propaganda and partnering with
governments and private businesses that share their goals of a world
run by Technocrats who make top down decisions for the masses in the
name of fighting for diversity and sustainability.
Regular readers
will remember that on October 18, 2019, the WEF partnered with the
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Johns Hopkins Center for
Health Security on a high-level pandemic exercise known as
Event 201...
Event 201 simulated
how the world would respond to a coronavirus pandemic which swept
around the planet.
The simulation
imagined 65 million people dying, mass lock downs, quarantines,
censorship of alternative viewpoints under the guise of fighting
"disinformation," and even floated the idea of arresting people who
question the pandemic narrative.
Now, as the Great
Reset Agenda moves into its 2nd year, Schwab and his associates at
the WEF are shifting their messaging and focus towards "The Great
Narrative".
The Great Narrative and
the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Before we discuss
the actual content of The Great Narrative event, let's look at what
is meant by a "Great Narrative".
In many forms of
media narrative is defined as "a
way of presenting connected events in order to tell a good story",
or "the telling of related events in
a cohesive format that centers around a central theme or idea".
In our daily lives
a narrative can be seen as the way we as humans come to understand
the world around us. We form narratives or stories about our
political realities and our interpersonal relationships.
Additionally, in
philosophy the term narrative can take on an even deeper meaning.
Recently, Tim
Hinchliffe at
Sociable wrote about the concept of narrative in relation to
philosophy:
"The idea of a
great narrative is something that the French philosopher
Jean-Francois Lyotard called a "grand
narrative," (aka "metanarrative")
which, according
to Philo-Notes, "functions
to legitimize power, authority, and social customs"
- everything that the great reset is trying to achieve.
Authoritarians use great narratives to legitimize their own
power, and
they do this by claiming to have knowledge and understanding
that speaks to a universal truth.
At the same
time, authoritarians use these grand narratives in an "attempt
to translate alternative accounts into their own language and to
suppress all objections to what they themselves are saying."
With this
understanding, the WEF's call for a "Great Narrative" should be seen
for what it truly is - an attempt to displace all other visions of
the future of humankind by placing the WEF and their partners at the
heart of a narrative which paints them as the heroes of our time.
This fits perfectly
with the Technocratic philosophy employed by WEF founder
Klaus
Schwab.
He envisions a
future where "public-private partnerships" of government and private
business and so-called philanthropies use their wealth, influence,
and power to design the future they believe is best for humanity.
In actuality, the
Technocrat philosophy merges with a Transhumanist mindset that
sees humanity as limited, flawed, and in need of augmentation by
technology in order to accelerate what Schwab calls the Fourth
Industrial Revolution.
On the first day of
The Great Narrative, Klaus Schwab sat with Mohammad Abdullah
Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs of the United Arab Emirates,
for a panel titled
Narrating the Future.
"We are here to develop the Great
Narrative, a story for the future," Schwab stated during
the panel.
"We meet today to develop a great
narrative; a story for the future.
I quote Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid
Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and
Ruler of Dubai, when he said,
"The future belongs to those who
can imagine it, design it, and execute it.
We are here now to imagine the future, design the future, and
then execute."
Minister Al Gergawi
spoke about the public,
"looking for a
way for a 'Great Transformation'."
The Minister did
his part to pay lip service to social justice by using all the usual
buzzwords employed by the WEF and the UN while mentioning the
world's largest 1% owning more wealth than ever before, the world's
poor living on less than a dollar a day, and climate change.
Al Gergawi also
repeatedly mentioned that,
"the future
belongs to those who imagine it, design it, and implement it",
as well as discussing the next stage of human evolution and the
role that technology will play.
"Human
evolution has been through phases - we discovered fire, we
discovered the wheel - today with technology, whatever will
happen the next 50 years will be totally different.
So for us, as
humanity, for hundreds of thousands of years we have been at a
normal pace," UAE Minister of Cabinet Affairs Mohammad Abdullah
Al Gergawi stated.
"The current
pace is complex because for the first time with technology we
are putting our society, economy, our government, our life
together, and there's just one platform.
Whatever will
happen in the future will be based on what we design now."
The Minister also
spoke of the need for government to evolve as an institution in the
same way we have seen private sector institutions evolve.
This is likely a
reference to the fact that the prime mission of the WEF is to change
the role of government and private businesses until there is hardly
a distinction between state and private power.
Another topic which
was heavily discussed was
the Fourth
Industrial Revolution (4IR) and the
metaverse.
The metaverse will
be discussed in part 2 of this series. The 4IR is another pet
project of Klaus Schwab which was first announced in December 2015.
To put it simply,
the 4IR is the
digital panopticon of the future, where digital surveillance is
omnipresent and humanity uses digital technology to alter our
lives.
Often
associated with terms like the Internet of Things, the Internet
of Bodies, the Internet of Humans, and the Internet of Senses,
this world will be powered by
5G
and 6G technology.
Of course, for
Schwab and other globalists, the 4IR also lends itself towards more
central planning and top-down control.
The goal is a track
and trace society where all transactions are logged, every person
has a digital ID that can be tracked, and social malcontents are
locked out of society via
social credit scores.
"Ubiquitous, mobile
supercomputing. Intelligent robots. Self-driving cars. Neuro-technological
brain enhancements. Genetic editing.
The evidence of dramatic change is
all around us and it's happening at exponential speed,"
Schwab wrote for the
announcement of the 4IR.
At one point Schwab
noted the relevance of having The Great Narrative meeting in the UAE.
"When I wrote my book and I
introduced this notion of the 4IR as the shaping force for our
future, we felt it was very important that we really work
together on a global level so we use the potential of the 4IR
for the benefit of mankind because technology also has certain
pitfalls and can be used to the detriment of humankind,"
Schwab stated at The Great Narrative.
"So we established this network of
centers around the world, and you were the first country which
responded positively.
I would like to thank the Minister
for the great cooperation we have here with our
Center for 4IR, and I am also
very happy that we have here assembled economists, sociologists,
but also representatives, scientists who can really enlighten us
about all those new technologies."
During the panel
The Next 50 Years, Klaus Schwab talked with Omar bin
Sultan Al Olama,
Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital
Economy, and Remote Work Applications about his vision of the
next 50 years for his country.
Mr. Al Olama is
also
a partner of the WEF.
It is during
this panel that the decision to host The Great Narrative in the
UAE becomes clear.
The UAE has
spent the last few years promoting itself as a hotbed for
digital technology developments,
specifically AI and robotics.
Minister Al Olama
even joked that the goal of his job was to eventually turn himself
into a form of AI.
Minister Al Olama
also discussed how hotels, taxis, and other industries have been
revolutionized by digital technology, and the inevitability of the
economy becoming digitized.
"There isn't going to be two
economies," he stated.
"We
are right now at this inflection point where we can confidently
say - traditional economy, digital economy, but at one point, in
the near future, as the 4IR becomes more mainstream,
there is only going to be a digital economy.
Or an economy, if it's not purely digital, is enabled by digital
means."
Al Olama also
discusses his nation's investments into 5G technology and how these
investments will help them lead the way into the Fourth Industrial
Revolution.
This discussion of
artificial intelligence, the 4IR, a cashless digital society, and
the Great Reset are absolutely vital for the average person to
comprehend.
These unelected
technocrats continue to host events and release reports as if the
people of the world are asking for their help and guidance.
They hide under a
veneer of benevolence, but the facade is wearing thin and the people
of the world are beginning to question the true mission of the WEF,
the Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and similar
players.
To understand their
true intentions we should take note of the actions of the WEF's
partnered nations and organizations.
This includes the
United Arab Emirates...
A Technocratic
Authoritarianism
While the political
leaders of the UAE and Klaus Schwab may promote themselves as the
heroes of our times, we should judge them according to their actions
and the company they keep, not the flowery language they use to
distract us.
The simple fact is
the UAE has a horrible record on human rights. The nation is known
for deporting those who renounce Islam, limited press freedoms, and
enforcing elements of Sharia law.
In 2020, the UAE
announced the creation of a human rights council to address human
rights issues, but critics have
accused the leadership of "whitewashing" the problem.
Despite promises of
change and relaxing of laws around alcohol and divorce, the UAE is
still struggling to maintain an image of a free nation.
In September,
European Union legislators
called on the UAE to free several prominent human rights activists
and other "peaceful dissidents" imprisoned in the country.
They also called
for a boycott of the ongoing
Expo 2020 in Dubai.
(The
organizers of the Expo themselves recently
announced a commitment to the United Nations 17
Sustainable Development Goals which are part of the Agenda 2030 &
The Great Reset.)
The resolution
called for the "immediate and unconditional" release of,
Ahmed Mansoor,
Mohammed al-Roken and Nasser bin Ghaith...
Mansoor
is a 52-year-old man who was arrested in 2017 and
sentenced to 10 years in prison on charges of publishing
false information and "insulting the status and prestige of the
UAE", including in posts on social media platforms.
Al-Roken is a human rights lawyer currently serving a
10-year prison sentence after being found guilty of attempting
to overthrow the government in a July 2013 mass trial.
Bin Ghaith was also imprisoned for 10 years in March
2017 for criticizing UAE authorities via social media.
According to the
2021
Human Rights Watch report on the UAE:
"In 2020, United Arab Emirates (UAE)
authorities continued to invest in a "soft
power" strategy aimed at painting the country as a
progressive, tolerant, and rights-respecting nation, yet its
fierce intolerance of criticism was on full display with the
continued unjust imprisonment of leading human rights activist
Ahmed Mansoor, academic Nasser bin Ghaith, and other many
activists and dissidents, some of whom had completed their
sentences as long as three years ago and remain detained without
a clear legal basis.
Scores of activists, academics,
and lawyers are serving lengthy sentences in UAE prisons, in
many cases following unfair trials on vague and broad charges
that violate their rights to free expression and association."
At first glance,
these accusations of human rights violations make the WEF's decision
to host their Great Narrative event in the UAE an odd one.
After all, why
would an organization which claims it's motivated by creating a
world which is more inclusive, diverse, sustainable, and equitable
turn a blind eye to these disturbing concerns and partner with the
leaders of the United Arab Emirates?
However, this
choice makes perfect sense once you accept that the WEF's language
about fairness and designing a better future for humanity is utter
nonsense.
In their vision of
the future,
you will own nothing and be happy as authoritarian nations like
the UAE partner with Big Tech to monitor their populations' use of
carbon, electricity, and other resources while assigning a social
credit score to determine each individual's access to privileges
like travel and work.
This is the "Great
Narrative" the Technocrats wish to imprint on our minds and hearts
in this "Decade of Transformation".
Who Will Design the
Future?
When Klaus
Schwab opened The Great Narrative conference he
referenced difficulties in "shaping the future". Specifically, he
said there are 3 obstacles standing in the way of the World Economic
Forum's Great Reset agenda.
First, Schwab
believes,
"people have become much more
self-centered, and to a certain extent, egoistic."
This, he says,
makes it,
"more difficult to create a
compromise because shaping the future, designing the future
usually needs a common will of the people."
To me this sounds
like a subtle admission that the people of the world are more
interested in their own personal visions of the future as opposed to
the Technocrats vision.
This could be spun
to say that people are "self-centered" or "egoistic", but another
way of looking at it is that the public does not desire to have a
global governance scheme which attempts to centrally plan their
lives.
The second obstacle
faced by Schwab and the WEF is that,
"we all have become so much
crisis-focused with the pandemic".
The 3rd obstacle to
transforming the world is that,
"the world has become so complex"
and "simple solutions to
complex problems do not suffice anymore."
Schwab also
mentioned that there is no longer a separation between social,
political, technological, ecological - "it's all interwoven".
"It's very difficult in such a
situation to really bring everybody together and to imagine and
to design the future,"
Schwab stated.
Again, this seems
to indicate that Schwab is aware that he will not be able to
willingly force every nation or population into the Technocrats
Great Reset/Great Narrative vision.
There will be
holdouts.
There will be
resistance and non-compliance to the top down, centralized
vision of the Predator Class.
However, despite
this resistance from the working class people of the world, there is
still a grave danger that the Technocrats will, indeed, achieve
their vision.
The Predator Class
behind The Great Reset, Agenda 2030, etc., have spent decades (if
not centuries) planning and investing trillions of dollars into
their attempts at worldwide societal transformation.
These psychopaths
are fully aware of the importance of outlining a vision of the
future and taking concrete steps to design said future.
While they work
night and day to bring their nightmare scenario into existence the
average person is painfully unaware of the despotic plans unfolding
before them.
Even those who are
aware of the Great Reset plans often lack in tangible actions to
prevent being swallowed up by the
Technocratic-Transhumanist takeover.
If we aim to break
free from the Great Reseters we must have our own vision of the
future that we hope to design.
We ought to
spend more time working on manifesting our visions of a free,
thriving, empowered humanity where individual liberty,
self-ownership, and bodily autonomy are celebrated.
We have the
power to imagine, design, and execute our vision of the future.
We have the
power to create
the People's Reset.
Part 2
Will
The Metaverse End Human Freedom?
November 26,
2021
As the
World Economic Forum announces
the need for a
"Great Narrative" to unite the people
around their
Technocratic ideals,
the public is
learning of the WEF and their partners' plans
to build a
dystopian virtual world
known as
The Metaverse.
In mid-November,
Klaus
Schwab, Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum,
sat with Mohammad Abdullah Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet
Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, to announce the launch of The
Great Narrative.
This announcement
represents the next phase in the WEF's "Great Reset" agenda.
"We are here to develop the Great
Narrative, a story for the future,"
Schwab stated during a panel titled
Narrating the Future.
"We meet today to develop a great
narrative; a story for the future. I quote His Highness Sheikh
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime
Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, when H.H. said,
'The future belongs to those
who can imagine it, design it, and execute it.'
We are here now to imagine the future, design the future, and
then execute."
One of the hot
topics discussed at The Great Narrative launch was
the Fourth
Industrial Revolution (4IR).
The 4IR is a pet
project of Klaus Schwab which was first announced in December 2015.
The 4IR is the digital panopticon of the future, where digital
surveillance is omnipresent and humanity uses digital technology to
alter our lives.
Often associated
with terms like the "Internet of Things," the "Internet of Bodies,"
the "Internet of Humans," and the "Internet of Senses," this world
will have
5G and 6G technology powering
smart cities where jobs and duties typically performed by humans
are managed by artificial intelligence and robots.
In this vision,
humanity is also tagged with wearable technology which interacts
with the AI and smart cities.
Of course, for
Schwab and other globalists, the 4IR also lends itself towards more
central planning and top-down control.
The goal is a track
and trace society where all transactions are logged, every person
has a digital ID that can be tracked, and social malcontents are
locked out of society via social
credit scores.
Another topic
mentioned at The Great Narrative was the Metaverse. The concepts of
the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Metaverse are inextricably
linked.
This article is a
brief exploration of the concept and the companies attempting to
bring the virtual universe to life.
Understanding the
Metaverse
The vast majority
of the public has only recently become aware of the term due to the
recent announcement that Facebook would be changing their name to
Meta, an ode to
Mark Zuckerberg's desire to move humanity into the
virtual world known as the Metaverse.
In July, Zuckerberg
explained his plans for the metaverse in an interview with
The Verge, stating that he imagines a future where people are
wearing eye glasses or contacts which show a virtual reality where
they can interact with friends and the environment.
"I think if we can help build the
next set of computing platforms and experiences across that in a
way that's more natural and lets us feel more present with
people, I think that'll be a very positive thing,"
Zuckerberg told The Verge.
He also explained
that for him,
"the
metaverse isn't just virtual reality", but rather a "persistent,
synchronous environment where we can be together" using
virtual reality, augmented
reality, PC, mobile devices, and gaming consoles.
Zuckerberg hopes
the Metaverse will not only be,
"some kind of a hybrid between the
social platforms that we see today, but an environment where
you're embodied in it."
Around the same
time Zuckerberg made his statements, Facebook CEO Sheryl Sandberg
told the
New York Times their hope is that one day,
"people will host religious
services in virtual reality spaces" and
"use augmented reality as an educational tool to teach their
children the story of their faith."
While much is being
said about the name change and the potential of what the Metaverse
might be, the origin of the name comes from popular science fiction
novel Snow Crash.
In
Snow Crash the
main character, Hiro Protagonist, exists in a futuristic landscape
where people hop in and out of the alternative universe made up of
augmented reality and virtual reality.
While Snow Crash isn't the first or the only novel to
imagine an alternative reality where humans use technology to
interact with a virtual world and the physical world augmented with
heads up displays, Snow Crash was the first one to use the
term Metaverse...
From
Snow Crash:
"So Hiro's not actually here at
all. He's in a computer-generated universe that his computer is
drawing onto his goggles and pumping into his earphones.
In the lingo, this imaginary place
is known as the Metaverse. Hiro spends a lot of time in the
Metaverse."
Despite the utopian
promises from Meta executives, there have been numerous critics of
Zuckerberg's plans to shift the public from actual reality to a
simulated virtual reality.
Tom Valovic
at
CounterPunch described the Metaverse plans in the
following way:
"I want to be careful not to mince
words in describing what this technology coup is really all
about: nothing less than an attempt to fabricate an alternate
"reality" other than the physical one we now inhabit.
This new reality can be accessed,
of course, only by paying customers and those in a position to
afford and understand it.
It is a technology designed by
elites and for elites and implicitly leaves behind much of
humanity in its wake."
"The metaverse appears to be part
of a larger effort to implement technocratic governance and
dovetails nicely with the agenda of the
World Economic Forum
(WEF).
This organization is the official
mouthpiece of the billionaire class.
The first wave of transhumanism's
new invasiveness will come with so called wearable devices i.e.,
headbands, virtual reality glasses, body attachments, skin
implants, and others.
The next phase will be an attempt
to physically wire our bodies into an electronic alternate
reality where privacy and individual autonomy will be
nonexistent."
Valovic is correct
in his estimation of the WEF vision.
For the billionaire
class and their puppet organizations, such as the WEF and the United
Nations, the Metaverse offers up the potential to commandeer all
life into digital prisons where the people can be charged for
services and products in the digital realm.
Also, the public
will likely be fed the narrative that being in the Metaverse is
better for the planet, or that there are no viruses to fear in the
Metaverse.
Of course, the
potential for a digital virus to infect the hardware and software of
the Metaverse - as well as the minds jacked in - is more than a
little terrifying.
With the
understanding of the true plans and intentions of those driving
humanity towards the Metaverse, it's not hard to imagine a world
which reflects something akin to the 2009 Hollywood film,
Surrogates.
In the film, Bruce
Willis plays an FBI agent investigating a death involving a
surrogate, humanoid avatars that people choose to live in rather
than their own bodies.
While in
Surrogates the avatar is an
alternative physical being, in the Metaverse the avatar is a digital
being. Regardless, the end result is that most people choose to live
in their Surrogates rather than in their real human bodies.
Is this what we
will see with the Metaverse? Time will tell...
If the Technocrats
have their way, we will have a physical world made up of smart
cities where you will
own nothing and be happy, with
privacy and individuality a thing of the past.
The smart cities
could potentially lock people in their homes and shutdown essential
services during
Climate Lockdowns or flare ups of the latest COVID variant.
Meanwhile, in your
smart home you could ignore the problems of the physical world by
wearing goggles, contact lenses, or, eventually, an implant that
plugs you direct into the Metaverse.
With the people of
the world safely tucked into their digital beds, the Technocrats
could complete their total
takeover of natural resources, the economy, and humanity itself.
Bringing the Metaverse to
Life
Although Meta is
seen as the driving force in the creation of The Metaverse, they are
not the only company working on the vision.
As CBS recently
noted,
there are "5
companies building our virtual reality future".
In addition to
Meta, we also have,
-
Google
-
Microsoft
-
Apple
-
Valve
-
Magic Leap,
...contributing to this potentially dystopian nightmare.
While most of these
names are well known to the average person,
Magic Leap is a
company with which we ought to become more familiar.
It is highly likely
that Magic Leap will play an outsized role in bringing the Metaverse
to the corporate world, and then, they hope, to mass consumer
adoption.
While the company
is less known to consumers, it has enough clout to pull in advisors
like Neal Stephenson, the author of
Snow Crash.
In fact, Stephenson
is the "Chief Futurist" of Magic Leap where he can now work with the
tech sector to bring his Metaverse concept to life.
Magic Leap was
founded in 2010 with the goal of bringing augmented reality and
virtual reality to the masses. In 2017, Magic Leap launched their
"mixed reality goggles" with the hopes of finally launching humanity
into the Metaverse.
However, as with
most previous attempts,
-
Facebook's Occulus Rift
-
Google Glass
-
Microsoft HoloLens,
...the concept has not been successful.
Magic Leap has
failed to live up to expectations in the last decade and it has been
reported that between late 2019 and June 2020, the company's
valuation dropped from $6.4 billion to $450 million, a loss of 93
percent.
By most accounts
Magic Leap was a failure...
Then, in October
2021, Magic Leap
raised $500 million from an unidentified source.
Magic Leap
states that the investment will help the company focus on
delivering,
"best-in-class
augmented reality (AR) solutions", including the Magic Leap
2 by 2022.
Magic Leap
CEO Peggy Johnson said the investment is,
"an important step in advancing
Magic Leap's mission to transform the way we work."
Peggy Johnson
herself is also part of the rebranding of Magic Leap.
She joined the
company as current CEO in August 2020 with the focus of,
"accelerating the company's shift
to the enterprise market" after the failure to gain
consumer acceptance.
Johnson has said
that Magic Leap will now focus on,
"building a robust business across
sectors ranging from healthcare and manufacturing to defense and
the public sector."
Johnson's previous
employers provide a bit of background on her experience and
connections.
Before joining
Magic Leap she was the Executive Vice President of Business
Development at Microsoft from September 2014 to August 2020.
In her role at
Microsoft she appears to have been one of the main people involved
in Microsoft's partnership with the
ID2020 project, including being quoted on the
front page of the ID2020 website.
The ID2020 project
is an attempt to create digital identification for every single
person on the planet.
The
partners of the ID2020 project
include Microsoft, GAVI (funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation), and the Rockefeller Foundation.
It was during
Johnson's tenure with Microsoft that a formal partnership with the
ID2020 project was announced at the World Economic Forum in 2018.
While making the
announcement
Johnson also noted,
"It was last summer that Microsoft
took a first step, collaborating with Accenture and Avanade on a
blockchain-based identity prototype on Microsoft Azure."
Interestingly, Peggy Johnson currently sits on the Board of
Directors of BlackRock, a position she has held since March 2018.
BlackRock has come under fire in the last year for real estate
investments, but also for their
stock in
Moderna, Inc.
The fact that
Johnson has experience working with the likes of,
-
Microsoft
-
BlackRock
-
the WEF
-
ID2020,
...and other major players of The Great
Reset agenda is likely one of the reasons she has been chosen to
help usher in The Metaverse.
Johnson's
statements in recent interviews provide a window into her own
thinking around the virtual-augmented reality concept. On her
LinkedIn page she recently discussed her first year as CEO of Magic
Leap.
"One year ago, in the midst of a
global pandemic, I joined Magic Leap as CEO, inspired by the
company's vision to amplify human potential through the power of
augmented reality (AR),"
Johnson wrote.
Johnson goes to
explain how Magic Leap plans to conquer the corporate
workspace environment first, before moving onto consumer grade
technology.
She outlines a few
of the companies Magic Leap has partnered with:
"We partnered
with Ericsson to improve work floor processes on factory
floors, increasing efficiency and collaboration.
Ophthalmologists at Heru used
our technology to develop an AR solution for eye exams,
replacing a costly and cumbersome diagnostic machine with a more
affordable vision diagnostic tool.
And Farmers
Insurance recently used Magic Leap to remotely train newly
hired claim adjusters during the pandemic eliminating the need
for environmentally taxing travel."
In a February 2021
interview Johnson also payed lip service to "stakeholder
capitalism", a key component of the WEF's Great Reset agenda.
"Just cause we are a little
company doesn't mean that we can't abide by the principles
around stakeholder capitalism," told the
Leadership Next podcast.
Just days before
the publishing of this article Peggy Johnson
spoke at
the Web Summit and revealed some more details of Magic Leap's
plans.
Johnson told the
audience we are already in the early stages of the Metaverse.
According to
Johnson, as the physical and digital worlds merge into one, people
might fly less and participate in physical reality less, in general.
"'Remember
when doctors didn't use AR to operate on you?'", Johnson
claimed someone might ask.
"You're
not going to want that old experience, you're only going to want
that new experience because it's going to be so accurate and
precise."
At the Web Summit
Johnson stated that, for her, the goal was to
"free ourselves" from looking
down at our screens, and instead have users looking up at the world
around them.
However, despite
many supporters of the Metaverse pushing for complete immersion in
the virtual and augmented reality, Johnson claimed this is not her
goal.
"I
don't want to live in a fully occluded world where I enter
another world for hours at a time," she stated.
"I want to live in my physical
world and have that world augmented for me. That's where I think
we're going and that's the real promise of the Metaverse."
While Johnson
herself may not intend for The Metaverse to become an all
encompassing reality that supersedes physical reality, for the,
Zuckerbergs, Microsofts, and WEFs of the world,
...that is
exactly what they intend for
The Metaverse.
The
Web of Technocrats working to build this reality should be cause
for alarm to any thinking mind.
Meta,
Microsoft, Google, Apple, the World Economic Forum, Amazon,
and others are absolutely intending to bridge the gap between
virtual and physical reality.
The Metaverse
serves their ultimate vision of dominating humanity via digital
technology and erasing privacy and individuality.
The only thing
standing in the way of this technocratic dystopia are the free
hearts and minds of the world. We must reject this effort and
instead strive to reconnect to the physical world around us.
While the
technocrats have attempted to use COVID-19 as a method to sever
human connection so that we might crave something akin to The
Metaverse, we ought to push past this propaganda and reconnect
to our fellow humans and the abundant natural world.
Now is the time to
fight for our humanity before the Predator Class completely
abolishes our physical connection to each other and the planet.
