My son's college roommates never venture out into the real world. Instead they play video games, which will be replaced by metaverse, with exaggerated female characters to do their bidding making them feel powerful while they don't know how to cope in the real world. Contrast that with the officer who went into the school to save his daughter and wife and ended up saving so many. That was pure real world masculinity - not that women can't show that as well. I wonder that as men become demonized for what they are, and with no rituals to reign in primal urges, will they retreat more to the metaverse? I have no idea. I am watching the old movie 'Marty' about the lonely butcher. Many movies made after WWII showed real darkness for humans and it was understood that sadness and loneliness were part of being human. Maybe we are living in a fantasy that life is supposed to be easy and joyful and we are failures if it is not.

It's not a new world--it's a very old world. Human beings have always had a very superficial veneer of civilization, particularly young males. Almost all social species of animals have a young male problem, which they solve in one of two ways--either by expelling them from the group (elephants) or submitting them to harsh discipline. Despite that, young males often rove in gangs wreaking havoc. Dolphins, for example, gang rape females with impunity. We are unrealistic if we are shocked that human males, when unsupervised, don't behave in a civilized fashion. This is why we have such a problem in the military with rape and sexual abuse. We need to stop being shocked and start getting real.

So just carry a virtual gun. Problem solved.

This whole thing is sort of mind-blowing. I mean, we are slowly turning ourselves into “virtual” persona, crimes and all.

If you are in the metaverse and are assaulted, sexually or otherwise, you have options such as logging off.

The worst transgression: thought crime.

How exactly does one rape another avatar?

My first response is, SO WHAT?! I think getting into a moral argument about what happens in a computer reality gives it legitimacy. It's not a legitimate reality, let's treat it as such.

It's also an easy fix; if your male or female avatar is beginning to be raped, press the power button. In real life, it's a harder fix but needs to be repeated; the way to stop rape is for men to quit raping. Men need mature support and guidance to develop healthy outlets for their sexuality and aggression. I wish our culture did a better job at that, and hopefully that's changing.

Responding to the clip where Albert Bourla (Pfizer) said by 2023 he wanted to "reduce the number of people in the world by 50%"... full interview is below.

The context (sentence prior to the clip) was that he wanted to reduce the number of people who didn't have access to Pfizer products by 50% (in other words, increase the reach of their crappy products by a billion people).

Frankly, I can't figure out which is worse. To say that he wants to kill 50% of the global population by 2023 is incorrect / out of context. However, increasing Pfizer's products (including the jab) will not only kill millions, but permanently maim millions upon millions.

Trust me, living with iatrogenic (Pharma-induced) chronic illness that is difficult (if not impossible) to treat, is hell on earth. Either way, they are taking away human life, human potential. Killing minds, bodies, and dreams. Robbing countries of productivity, robbing the future of brilliant minds. Diverting precious R&D funds from worthwhile causes. And bragging about it:

Your "by 2023 ..." article is DOA, was it censored or did you delete it? Detected any problem?

I was looking at the video from the link in the mail, to see if I detect any editing, so far not, although I don't have a trained eye for it.

Why would he say something like that semi-publicly... I wonder who filmed that & released it.

What we’re seeing unfolding here almost makes sense based on what has already unfolded. What we don’t know is how bad will it get. Society is breaking down and this is what it looks like.

I can't tell whether MCM is mentioning this with dismay, or whether it's with droll humor.

So what? They can go to their Meta Safe Place for a few days. Grow up!

I have seen this comment but since I don't game and refuse to engage in Metaverse couldn't she just quit the game or leave the virtual room? Why would she stay and allow them to play out such a violent satantic situation? This generation is in real trouble....
