The Metaverse: Part 3

The past few years have involved many changes in journalism as a result of the metaverse and attempts to cover it and the social changes that result from it. Firstly, experts believe that journalists may begin to conduct interviews while physically present in the metaverse instead of doing zoom, phone, or real-life interviews. This was seen in the 2022 Olympic where journalists interviewed athletes in a virtual studio. This was also seen in sports journalism in Eurosport where a self-described digital virtual “cube” was utilized to interview athletes and celebrities in a life-like digital studio, as explained in a Reuters 2022 article. This will enable jounalists to be able to interview people who are otherwise inaccessible or hard to be in person with, whether it be because of conflicting schedules, travel issues, security risks, etc. This will allow the public to get more diverse interviews (China Daily, 2022). There are also computer programmers who predict that a new invention known as “7G Journalism” will evolve, which will be media and news stories that are transmitted directly into people’s brain through micro chips. This would enable the media to transmit news content 24/7 to humans from satellites directly into microchips implanted in their brains. This could potentially then solve the issue of some communities having lack of access to the internet or metaverse advancements if they have chips inside of them that give them the latest news, as depicted in a 2022 China News Daily article. Journalism can also continue to utilize NFT’s as they have been used to create financial profits for newspapers and magazines. For example, The New York Times sold an article as an NFT for $800,000 and journalists can continue to use NFT’s in the metaverse to protect from copyright infringement and create financial revenue for struggling newspapers and magazines and to attract new users (Reuters, 2022). By supporting newspapers and magazines the metaverse contributes to more distrubition of news to a larger audience, which can further reduce inequities in knowledge about the metaverse. Finally, the metaverse will significantly alter the way that content creation is related to journalism. Many journalistic outlets and news agencies are using social media apps like Meta, Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok to share news with a larger audience.

The metaverse will change the face of social media and thus content creation, thus transforming the way that journalists will utilize these outlets to create news content. AR and VR as significant components of the metaverse will enable journalists to make news content that is more interactive and engrossing for users. Users may be able to feel virtually present in an interview with a celebrity or politician, feel that they are physically present in different parts of the world and different events shown on the news, and they may be able to participate in chat rooms following news content that resemble real-life interactions. Changes such as this have already begun with social media apps such as by Meta creating their new app called “Polar”, which allows creators to create AR effects and filters onto their social media content. Journalists can use this feature to make the news more interactive for viewers. The metaverse will also increase public access to AI tools such as video editing, animation, and music created through AI. Journalists can then use these AI created features to make more immersive news stories that leave a lasting impression for viewers. Other apps being released like “Presence Platform” and “Promethean Ai'' likewise allow creators such as journalists to create mixed-reality video content and build virtual worlds to better educate and inform viewers. Journalists can even use these platforms to take their viewers through tours of virtual replicas of events or places in the news from far off countries. All of these metaverse related advancements can enable journalists to ironically better explain and better educate the public on the metaverse as explained by expert F. Fatemi in Forbes magazine. These advancements can also be utilized to create news and media that promotes positive social changes such as equality. Thus, these innovations give journalism more tools to play a role in making the world more equal and people more humane.

The arrival of the metaverse is introducing the world to new frontiers in the possibilities that technology can afford us. The developers of the metaverse are attempting to create a world that is as complex and nuanced as the real physical world, and it will have as much or even more ramifications than the Internet has had on social change. The metaverse will trigger large amounts of social change involving varied facets including economic distribution through metaverse financial opportunities, cyber crimes, and physical and mental health. For this reason it is imperative that journalists serve as the main educators of the public concerning the metaverse and spread awareness of it. Only by doing this can journalism prevent the metaverse from creating larger societal inequalities. Journalism is already beginning to use the metaverse and its associated facets to improve the field of journalism, and by continuing to utilize these new technological features it can continue to make a difference in people's lives. By impacting the public's digital lives they can massively improve the public's real physical life, and this is why it is so imperative for journalism to remain on the pulse of the rapidly changing world of the metaverse.

Dude, it's not only people in USA that buys yall propaganda, unfortunately it's spread all around the world because you know, imperialism. But that's beside the point, I didn't disagree with the fact that indeed Tik Tok IS spyware, my point is that you played as if it was the ONLY app who is spyware when all other apps are Well Know for being used by both USAmericans corporations AND USAmerican government to gather data and to spy on the whole entire world including freaking Official Governments from other countries, like happened in Brazil.

In other words: if you're gonna point it out to the chinese app why did you choose to ignore the same issue to literally all the other apps you mentioned? When USA is literally the one who invented this type of spyware technology AND has been using it for years before Tik Tok even exists?? I'll say why: because you're reproducing USAmerican propaganda, where only the chinese are the bad evil spying on everyone else and USA own shit is pushed under the rug lol

Also I find the way you're putting CCP here suspiciously like FOX and other nationalist USAmericans speak. I was not gonna throw it here because I was seriously only trying to address in a funny way this random observation about USA propaganda, but I literally study China and technology as my thesis theme. I am not kidding, I'm just finishing it these past few days.. and let me tell you, they are doing a lot of shit there, and it is not good and it goes far beyond something like Tik Tok and while I'm not afraid to say that because I actually study what I'm talking about, I still find it extremely dishonest of you to bring it up this way because you're already being partial since the first post, but yeah, MAYBE the way they'll treat this information regarding the rest of the world is not gonna be good.

But you know who we are SURE, absolutely and completely, undoubtedly sure that will use the biggest and most robust spyware system in the world to their imperialist purposes? United States. Because it has been happening for decades now. Which is *literally* my point here.

And yeah, "not sorry" but your points don't stand at all. Because I wasn't even disagreeing with you to begin with aksnanshs which you should know if you actually interpreted what I said instead of... well assuming I was correcting you. And while we are at it, maybe people shouldn't install Tik Tok but if you're in this high horse of telling people what to do, why don't you delete tumblr and Facebook and instagram of your own phone too? Because they sure have been spying on you much before the chinese were.

Source: just google shit, man. Go ahead and throw: Snowden scandal, Cambrige Analytics and Facebook scandal (Netflix has a great documentary on this one, called "The Great Hack") and USA digital imperialism on google. And those are just SOME of the multiple examples you could search for.

Tumblr is bad, but in the grand scheme of things, it's actually not the worst. It's, surprisingly, one of the best if you ignore the broken app/site.

It could be worse and be like Reddit, force everyone into true hive mind echo chambers.

It could be worse and be like Twitter and force us to only share our thoughts in X characters or less.

It could be worse and be like Facebook and encourage us to give away information on our personal life.

It could be worse and be like Instagram and force us to only communicate in one or two methods.

It could be worse and be like Tiktok and be malicious foreign spyware under the guise of an app.

It could be worse and be like Youtube, demonitizing the smaller blogs & stealing their ad revenue.

FIFTY FOUR YEARS OF SELF ISOLATING

(AND ANTI SOCIAL DISTANCING)

‘Humanity is finally ready to sacrifice its freedom to gain its security’ Soon? Thousands head for the beaches, to sweat two feet away from their neighbours in the sand and suck up that healthy fresh air...or crowd face to face and shout drunkenly outside pubs. Europe watching in stunned horror as governments in Britain and America get it all wrong.  Meanwhile Putin (SuperTsar to 2036) continues to smirk his baldhead off as all three continue to disintegrate. Divide and conquer. Insanity, lies, fear and loathing in the time of Covid.  

‘Anyone can get it, anyone can spread it’. That was one of the British Government’s slogans many many weeks ago...But the wearing of masks on public transport only became mandaTORY (see what I did there?) on Monday 15th June. Five months too late and with over 42 thousand dead by that date. How’s that Herd Immunity working out for you Mr Cummings, looking good? Our version of the foul Bannon perhaps. A man who appears to suffer from the same fatal flaw as all those close to Money and Power...the rules (which he himself oversaw and wrote for Boris) don’t apply to such as he. And so, off he drove with wife and child for a couple of hundred miles to test his eyesight to see if he was ill. And Boris himself also broke all the rules...shaking hands in hospital with Covid patients, ignoring distancing, etc. He missed several important EU meetings about the virus early on and missed COBRA getting together three times. Self serving, blathering incompetent moron. Get that Russia Report out soon Boris, let’s see where your party’s money is from... scared of the effect it will have on your sugar daddy overseas? Tweedledum and Tweedledumber. And what about that 350 MILLION POUNDS every week for the NHS, coming soon eh?

The shameful fiasco with the masks and surgical equipment manufactured in the UK...the makers told the governments about six weeks before the virus started to bite, that they had hundreds of thousands of items ready to sell AT COST. Boris’s government told them NO...so they were sold to Europe. Ha. Doctors and nurses could and should have been given them. Then the UK eventually started importing these things from Europe and CHINA, at massive cost. Meanwhile, the majority of English people repeated the party line that masks were only for professionals who needed them, missing the idea they could make one for themselves from cloth. We used to be good at ‘making do’ and being inventive with resources but someone told us that masks were unhealthy...as compared to say, an airborne virus which can cause embolisms in the lungs. (For the record; blood oxygen remains at full and NO extra carbon dioxide is re-inhaled.) The percentage of droplets not breathed in or released by wearing a mask shows it is well worth putting one on. Give yourself a fighting chance.  

Groups of brain-dead less than holy ‘Christian’ Trump supporters in the USA have ranted that masks ‘kill’, ignoring the fact that if that were actually true, doctors, nurses, dentists and firemen would have been dropping like flies for decades. ‘I don’t wear a mask because it imposes on my freedom’...because it is clearly a deep state system of control eh? Some thick as shite UK protestors rebelled against social distancing and the wearing of masks by having group hugs of defiance, blaming 5G TV masts for the virus. ‘My Body My Choice.’ No, not this time pal. Get ill, walk around big mouth flapping, infecting dozens more, go to hospital and expect others to help you for free? F..k off, cough, stay home and die. Lockdown in this context is NOT New World Order stuff. TV masts can do many things but magically causing viral infections in CO2 is not one of them. (Or perhaps the false information used in the despicable Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones spiels relayed over the air is, paranoia is certainly infectious.) Shame ‘the rain falls on us all, just and unjust’, be marvelous if only ijeets got Covid and the world got lighter.

Roll call of the best...The National Health Service, (in fact ALL those working on the front line in hospitals globally.)The hyperbole about heroes is accurate in their case, above and beyond. But the party in Britain, who has done so much to undermine them, have been encouraging folk to go into the streets to clap for the NHS. Insulting with irony. Nice and English, very polite and white to be achieving nothing more than salving consciences with bugger all of substance. May Goddess and the Snake bless the NHS.

I only discovered JONATHAN PIE in the last few weeks, (Thanks to Killing Joke’s Youth) amazed nobody recommended him to me before. Best comedian from the ‘U’K in the last thirty years. Factual satire to the highest. And good to see the new Labour leader Sir Kier Starmer, a man who EARNED his KCB/ knighthood, not bought it by donating funds, destroying Boris at every Question Time by exposing his utter lack of honesty and answers. At last, a leader who is/seems to be, intelligent, moral with empathy and has brought to book those on left and right. First good thing he did was to remove those from the Marxist Momentum. He has been slagged off by various slags as another ‘champagne socialist’. He owns a field and his Mum and dad were a toolmaker and a nurse. Sounds like a real fake so far eh? A barrister...who understands the LAW and would be/will be a believable PM. The first one in my lifetime for whom I would vote, whether or not I could, ha ha, ever be a socialist. I will certainly NEVER (means NEVER) be a Conservative or a Libertarian and don’t much feel like a Liberal. Labels are only for those who are proud to advertise and virtue signal. Fnord. A concerned citizen? Oh and downwards we go now...

Trump recommended using detergent to destroy the virus...please go for it man, DO IT and all your rabid followers too. Satanic Evangelicals, cheering as he...drinks a glass of water with one hand and tosses it aside! A master of the universe right there. His casual statement about the reappearance of Kim wrong Un...‘I, for one am glad to see he is back, alive and well!’ His idiotic wondering over what the 19 in Covid 19 stands for. Don’t forget kids...‘If we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases’. And ‘I said, can we slow the testing down please?’Five pages could be filled here with verbatim bullshit he has said this year, his entire July 3rd and 4th speeches alone would fill three. Shame the puppet is in debt to the oligarchs isn’t it? The truth will OUT.

(How Nice and Christian of America to have bought up ALL stocks of Remdesivir for the next three months, perhaps they mean to sell it at vast profit or give it free...but only for those who vote the Right way.)  

The lizard in chief, who has used Twitter for three years of s..t stirring rhetoric, outright lies and the wrong type of insanity thousands of times has now claimed that Twitter are ‘completely stifling free speech’. (This was in relation to the possibility that polling stations would have to be closed in November if Covid maintains.) Due to him tweeting ‘There is no way (zero) that mail-in ballots (postal votes) will be anything less than substantially fraudulent.’ Twitter added to his words, a small, polite warning that this claim was ‘Unsubstantiated’ Well, it is. The majority of what the spoiled child says is indeed only his baseless and deranged opinion. For this outrageous caveat to his words of stable genius, he wants to revoke Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. This would mean strict penalties or close-down on service providers of social media when it appears that distributors of such are acting as publishers.  

However, in 1997 the Supreme Court in the USA declared the CDA unconstitutional, so would this be another case of him wiping brown cheeseburger smears on the Constitution yet again? Fascinating that so many who support him do not seem to genuinely support such things as the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. But then, freedom in a democracy means having the right to destroy your freedoms eh? ‘In filth, sublimity; in sublimity, filth’. Robot Zuckerberg’s Facebook removed the trump advert (the one with the nazi upside down red triangle symbol) for violating their policy against organised hate. At last they notice what he has been writing. Having social media giants finally stand up to him at the same time more Republicans (Hello Lincoln Project, shame it took three and a half years and 135 thousand deaths ) are ripping at his heels, and the basic normal minded voters seeing him for what he truly is, might be enough...and I believe it WILL.  

And Goddess bless the all Tik Tok Teens for booking Trump rally tickets and then not going. Laughed my arse off at the rabid right wing demanding the kids be arrested for it. Beautiful, peaceful organised anarchy...perhaps there is indeed hope for the future if the young are up to this. But many groups on Left and right are funded directly by the Kremlin, it helps to chaos things up. Wonder if the KKK and the BNP would be happy to know where their money comes from... whether Nationalism really matters to them when it is supported by those who seek the overthrow of their countries. And many Anti fascist groups get their moolah via the same channels. Dream of the day when both sides realise how much they are being manipulated by the bastards with a grip on basic primate psychology. Where does the money come from? Look.

Speaking of such...beware of Steve Bannon. Again. Global Nationalistic traveller spreading the word and the channels of finance to those who would take over the world. One more false Christian seeking to rally the world against fascist Islamist death cults (easy to do, they are truly scum and swine), China (only the evil soul dead government yes) and any non right wing atheists. The advisor whose every word on his future world vision is adhered to by Donald, (apart from when he hilariously criticised both him and his daughter.) One of the most dangerous men in the world right now, uniting the populist nationalists and all those disaffected lost souls who feel the world owes them for being born. Angry because they fight evolving change, which is what life itself is remorselessly and thus their deep inner self, knowing they are wasting their time, gets ever angrier. But it is good to have an obsessive hobby eh?

‘Snowflakes won’t last long in Texas/looks like we got us a Reader/you aint from around here are you boy?’ Well bollocks to snowflakes obviously, but Texas? The self righteous land stealing oil swilling blubberbucket cowboy fascist homeland. Doing just fine with Covid since Trumpists decided masks were a Liberal conspiracy run by Jews. Etc. Jumpin Jehovah yeehah and oy vey. Cosmic schmucks. But...‘What is believed to be true, is true or becomes true’ This creates further neuron connections and changes perception, re-programmes and perhaps explains why almost all sides think they are always correct. But over half only seem to Invoke often and eventually perpetuate loops of entropy, they don’t Banish often and cleanse to the purer. Brainwashed by self hypnosis and proud of it. Anal retentives loving their own dirt, believing their own propaganda but not accepting new information unless it conforms to what they have already decided is real and imprinted as truth. Neophobes, in a word. The conspiracy of counter evolution...

‘A political philosophy, movement or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual, and that stands for a centralised autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation and forcible suppression of opposition.’ Definition of Fascism.

How many countries fit that pattern? China. Russia. Saudi Arabia. North Korea. Brazil, Turkmenistan, Belousrussia, America, parts of Europe...and Britain step by step...anywhere else where populism is rising. ‘The state is the coldest of all cold monsters and coldly it tells lies, and this lie oozes from its lips; ‘I, the state, am the people.’ Nietzsche.  

‘Disobedience was man’s original virtue’. Oscar Wilde. You know what to do. But pull back on the useless iconoclasms kids; don’t give the bastards NO ‘just cause’.

‘All words transmitted as sonic or visual signals – sound waves or light waves -  rapidly become photons, electrons, neurotransmitters, hormones, colloidal reactions, reflex arcs, conditioned or imprinted ‘frames’, physiological responses etc as they impact upon the total synergetic organism. ‘Perception’ consists of a complex series of codings and decodings as in form-ation trans-forms itself through successive sub-systems of the organism as a whole.’ (Robert Anton Wilson) Get it? Choose your magick words with care.

Stay sane and zetetic if you want to be or go freaking crazy, go to the park and read a book, alone in the sunny shade. Keep laughing. Avoid crowds, groups and other people.Love from the Lone Derranger... Enjoy July 23rd via psychic and internet connections and don’t forget...

‘It is only on the cross that the rose may bloom’.
