Klaus Schwab Only Wants You to Travel in the Metaverse

You got to hand it to the globalists. They never stop telling us how to live.

According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), it’s too dangerous for people like you and me to go on vacations ever again.

Why?

The gas you put in your car will worsen climate change. (Never mind the fact that the Davos crowd regularly fly by private jet to sustainability conferences. By the way, according to EuroNews.Green: “Personal planes have significantly higher emissions than other modes of transport. An average journey in one produces CO2 equivalent to driving a petrol car from Paris to Rome 16 times.”)

But never fear, would-be-travelers.

The WEF has a solution: you don’t need to fly off to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower. Why, you can visit anyplace your heart desires. All you need is a VR headset and lowered expectations.

Here’s their big idea: virtual tourism: “AR, VR and MR can enable a seamless, uninterrupted interactive experience for viewers from their own private space. The design principles will create a frictionless digital user experience and construct a positive perception of a tourist destination.”

You got that? No need to leave your house again. After all, travel is so inconvenient. And don’t forget—selfish.

At least that’s what cultural tastemakers say. See this from Chaptertravel.com:

By flying, using boats, cruises, cars, buses, campervans and more we are hurting the environment. Basically anything that uses a combustion engine produces greenhouse gases. Even if you’re not using an airplane to travel, but decide to go everywhere by car, you are still hurting the environment. Of course people that stay in one place also hurt the environment, but if you travel a lot and to far places, then you produce more carbon emission than someone that stays put.

The last sentence is what this is really all about. Globalists like the WEF’s founder/CEO Klaus Schwab want us to believe it’s our duty to stay put. To stay at home safely ensconced in the Metaverse staring into our VR headsets.

What does that remind me of? Oh yes. I can recall when celebrities like Ben Stiller, Robert DeNiro, and Pamela Adlon told us we all must stay home for our “safety.” Remember this video?

Do you also recall when we were told if we didn’t stay six feet apart we would kill someone’s grandma? Well, as the saying goes: there’s nothing new under the sun. That lie has been updated for a post-pandemic world. The new logic from our central planners goes like this: You’re going to kill the Earth if you don’t stay put.

 

To this point, VR tourism proponents are happy to point out the benefits of digital travel. For one thing, it’s inexpensive, a boon in our hyperinflated economy. According to Lifewire, it costs as little as $10 to go on a cyberspace trip.

You can also visit far-flung destinations without annoying hassles, like long lines, inclement weather, dangerous beasts, airport security, and most of all, the risk of being infected by COVID-19. Or the next new virus.

Here’s what travelers can expect from a Grand Canyon VR Experience:

In The Grand Canyon VR Experience ($2.99 by Immersive Entertainment), you sit in a virtual motorized kayak ride through the Grand Canyon. Tailor the tour to your preferences by selecting either a sunlit or moonlit experience and controlling the ride's speed.

While you cruise along, you'll enjoy the sights and sounds of procedurally generated, artificially intelligent wildlife. Attract and feed the virtual fish as you navigate the waterways.

The ride is on rails, so you can't steer the kayak. However, you can stop at various points and enjoy the scenery by using the throttle speed controls of your motorized kayak or by exiting at scenic rest stops.

So, why would someone forgo visiting the real Grand Canyon for a VR knockoff? Besides escaping all the hassles listed above, doing so is great virtue signaling. For instance, this site states that while a trip from Germany to Vietnam costs about 800EU and emits 3.5 tons of CO2, due to the 24,000 kilometers of flight, a virtual tour offers you the simulacrum of real travel—without negatively impacting the environment. Bonus!

Ultimately, we humans are social creatures. We derive much of our self-worth not just by what we do—experiencing things like travel—but by how others perceive us. Recognizing this fact, it gets easier to see through the messaging that globalist organizations continually push on us.

Much like the lies sold to us during the pandemic about the need to stay home to save people’s grandmas, they now want us to feel guilty about doing the things that make life worth living.

They want to control every movement.

But this world doesn’t belong to them. It belongs to us.

Perhaps the singer Woody Guthrie said it best of all: “This land is your land, this land is my land…. This land was made for you and me.”
