Below, I will emphasize how dangerous the Metaverse will be for normalizing pedophilia, by creating a virtual “West World” of unlimited possibilities for people to indulge their most depraved fantasies with no legal consequences (“lawlessness” being another key theme of 2 Thess 2).
ZUCKERBERG’S ‘PLEASURE ISLAND’ METAVERSE
Like Pinocchio on Pleasure Island, an entire generation of young people lost to narcissistic self-absorption and fantastical delusions about gender, sex and society is being lured from God’s natural world into a lawless and utterly artificial transhumanist alternative, fully controlled
by megalomaniacal despots...
…And if these children are Pinocchio, Mark Zuckerberg is THE COACHMAN
In Disney’s Pinocchio “The Coachman is responsible for illegal child trafficking, transporting them to a Fun land called Pleasure Island, (a word that many adults associate directly with sex) and luring them there with fun, candy, anything a kid could want. In one scene, just before the Coachman talks with a small donkey named Alexander, he stripped clothes off of another donkey? It was not directly dealt with but implicit messages rarely are. Earlier, he insisted there was no risk in illegally trafficking children to an island cut off from civilization because…’They never come back. As BOYS!’ … This scene alone is screaming of dark, implicit messages a child might never understand. Later, there are explicit messages dark enough for a child’s mind and darker for an adult’s mind…But there is something notorious about the evil Coachman. He is not just some big wealthy guy who puts kids to work in salt mines after turning them to donkeys which apparently symbolizes their stupidity. He is also a pedophile.” Excerpt from The Darker Corners of Pinnochio (I am not implying that Zuckerberg is a pedophile, only that is role in facilitating the creation of the artificial world is like that of the Disney character.)
But adults will also be lured into dark corners of the Metaverse. West World is a science fiction novel written by Michael Crichton about a theme park in which adult human visitors could act out their sexual and murderous fantasies on lifelike humanoid robots created for that purpose. HBO turned it into an even more dark and twisted television series about “the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin…[a] dark odyssey that begins in a world where every human appetite can be indulged.”
Now, Zuckerberg has created his “Metaverse” whose technology will allow both Pleasure Island and West World to become a “reality” in the sensory perception of those wanting to indulge any appetites whatsoever. And, thanks to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, 535 U.S. 234 (2002), that indulgence will include “pretend” adult child sex, because Ashcroft was “The case [which] established that simulated child pornography is protected free speech.” Not surprisingly, the majority opinion was written by the reprobate Justice Anthony Kennedy, who also wrote all four of the majority opinions establishing LGBT cultural supremacy over Christianity in America.
Now, obviously, the Metaverse will not be one big West World/Pleasure Island overflowing with debauchery. The entrance-way and lobby are going to look like Main Street USA in terms of wholesomeness and universal appeal. But, just like the Internet, its dark corners will serve every human whim — except in a much more “hands-on” sort of way.
It will appeal most of all to the young people, who have been primed for “Pleasure Island” all their lives, while simultaneously being stripped of all moral and ethical restraint.
But it will also appeal to the very same type of adults featured in West World, seeking to experience acts of extreme depravity in a place where they are immune from prosecution.
God help us.
