Metawar: The Battle for Reality in the Metaverse

dinsdag 9 mei 2023
17:30 tot 21:15

Van der Valk hotel, Winthontlaan 4, 3526 KV Utrecht
Winthontlaan 4, 3526 KV Utrecht, Netherlands

THIS EVENT WILL BE IN ENGLISH

Metawar is the art of applying science to create alternate immersive realities; the goal is to make the metaverse indistinguishable from our ‘default’ reality; the one we have been born into. As technology evolves to the all-immersive metapoint from which there may well be no escape, metawarriors of widely differing ilks will master the art and science of metawar to control the individual and populations at large.

The metaverse is the most powerful reality distortion machine ever conceived. With metawar, the attack surfaces are not just silicon-based networks. Metawarriors target living carbon bio-chemical systems and the highly malleable, imperfect probabilistic nature of the human sensory systems and the mind. Networks, nonetheless.

Our ‘beliefs’ and sense of reality are determined by two things: The inputs to our sensory organs and the internal sum of our beliefs, experiences, and memories.

Learn how human sensory systems work, how the brain interprets external stimuli, and how the metawarrior will mess with human addiction to alternate realities. An entirely new kind of network tech to explore.

Unabated, the metaverse will be dominated by a few, powerful, incredibly rich organizations, (ethics?) who will relentlessly hack reality, for God & Country, Power & Profit.

• Your Brain is a Time Machine: It never rests. Never.
• Reality is only a keystroke away.
• Feedback & OODA everywhere.
• Time-based and Analogue Security

Join me on a technical tour of the 6th domain of conflict. The battle is for control of your mind and your reality. And it scares the hell out of me.

After the break, and you’ve had a chance to think and grab another drink, Winn wants to hear from you! Your thoughts, your opinions, and your critiques of the metawar thesis. Let’s talk about the Offensive side of metawar. How can the metawarriors affect us:
• Personally/Population/Citizenry
• Enterprise/Business/Health/Education
• National Cognitive Influence/Nation-State/NGO

Bring an open mind, a thirst for something truly new, and a desire to debate!

Speaker

Winn Schwartau
Winn has lived Cybersecurity since 1983 and says, “I think, maybe, I’m just starting to understand it.” His predictions about the internet & security have been scarily spot on. He coined the term “Electronic Pearl Harbor” while testifying before Congress in 1991. His seminal book, “Information Warfare” showed the world how and why massive identify theft, cyber-espionage, nation-state hacking and cyber-terrorism would be an integral part of the future (today’s present).

Currently he is exploring “Metawar,” a term he coined to describe the 3 classes of conflict in the evolving Metaverse. Increasingly impressive technologies, “active metacontent orchestration”, and powerful feedback systems will create alternate realities, such that at some dis tant date, the metapoint will be reached, where persistent immersive simulations will be indistinguishable from our default ‘reality’. Even in the short-term, the security, privacy, ethics, and global policy implications of ‘metaversal’ participation are staggering and changing at incredible speeds.

His last book, “Analogue Network Security” is a time-based probabilistic approach to justifiable security. By hybridizing analogue and digital security techniques, he offers m ethods to “fix security and the internet”, including fake news, spam, phishing, DDoS and more. It will twist your mind. “The Best Cybersecurity Book of All Time,” Cyber Defense Magazine.
