Media outlets promote 'Tamagotchi children’ in metaverse

Mainstream media outlets are promoting the idea of virtual children, or “Tamagotchi children”, in the metaverse. 

The metaverse is an immersive, digitized universe that is currently being built in which users will be able to exist through the use of augmented reality (AR) technology. It is the pet project of some of the world’s largest technology corporations, including Facebook, which changed its name in October to Meta with the intention of focusing on building the metaverse.  

Meta estimates that the metaverse will be a $3 trillion “reboot” of the internet. 

Now corporate media are pushing the concept of humans “having” digital children in the metaverse instead of real children in the actual universe to choke off the human race. 

“Tamagotchi kids: could the future of parenthood be having virtual children in the metaverse?” reads a headline from The Guardian. 

“'Tamagotchi children' who don’t exist could 'solve population problem'”, says the Telegraph. 

“Rise of the 'Tamagotchi kids': Virtual children that play with you, cuddle you, and even look like you will be commonplace in 50 years – and could help combat overpopulation, AI expert predicts,” writes the Daily Mail. 

Tamagotchis were small, electronic toy pets for children in the 1990s which required care and feeding or they would “die”. 

The "AI expert” quoted by the media outlets is author Catriona Campbell, who wrote the book AI by Design: A Plan For Living With Artificial Intelligence. Campbell is excited about the concept of virtual children, which can be made to look like you, be any age and grow as you wish. In fact, according to Campbell in 50 years they will be indistinct from real children. 

“Virtual children may seem like a giant leap from where we are now, but within 50 years technology will have advanced to such an extent that babies which exist in the metaverse are indistinct from those in the real world,” said Campbell. 

“They will be capable of simulated emotional responses as well as speech, which will range from ‘googoo gaga’ to backchat, as they grow older,” she added. High-tech gloves will elicit tactile feedback and transmit physical sensation. 

She also says it is likely the children will be made available on a subscription basis. If you get tired of parenting, you can simply cancel your subscription. 

The concept of virtual children is not being proposed as something that might bring some solace to childless couples, nor to prepare young adults for the volatility of parenting. 

The proposed purpose of virtual children is strictly to stunt humanity. 

“Make no mistake that this development, should it indeed take place, is a technological game-changer which, if managed correctly, could help us solve some of today's most pressing issues, including overpopulation,” said Campbell. 

The point of Tamagotchi children, according to the Guardian, is to keep people from being pregnant out of “concerns about the environment, overpopulation, the rising cost of bringing up a child, etc.” 

“Ms Campbell cited widespread concern about the environmental toll exacted by the world’s increasing population, which is nearing eight billion,” says the Telegraph gravely. 

The environment and too many people are the same fears shared by the World Economic Forum, which hopes to be in control of the metaverse by the time it launches. 

At the recent World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2022 in Davos, Switzerland, the globalist organization announced that it is taking steps to ensure that the metaverse is shaped according to its global agenda. The WEF is partnering with Microsoft and Accenture to create a “Global Collaboration Village” which will work to implement its vision.
