Meta Means 'is dead' in Hebrew

Does Mark Zuckerberg know what Meta means in Hebrew?

Facebook is dead, long live Meta. But, actually, Meta is dead, too.

Let me explain.

On Thursday, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the new name for Facebook to mark its transition to what he calls "the metaverse." The name, which is, perhaps unsurprisingly, Meta, doesn't translate well. Unless that's the point.

While the word, now applied to such narratively self-aware works as "Adaptation" and "Deadpool," derives from the Greek prefix meaning "after" or beyond," and indicates something that transcends the word it latches onto (think metaphysics), in Hebrew the word "Meta" means "is dead." Don't just take my word for it!

Hebrew speakers may have chuckled at Zuckerberg's pronouncement, from an eerily art-directed room, that Meta was chosen to better reflect "who we are and what we hope to build." The metaverse he's building, may be a subtle multilingual counter to Trump's golem-esque Truth platform, with the Hebrew words "Emet" (Truth) and "Met" (Death) both playing a big role in the golem story.

It would be funny if it wasn't all so morbid, seeming to portend the flailing end of a tech empire hoping to distract from intense public scrutiny prompted by a litany of scandals brought to light by reporting and a whistleblower.

Is the birth — or rather, naming — announcement really a proof of death? Only if Zuck is being meta in the self-aware sense and knows some Hebrew.

Still it's hard to overlook the infelicity here, as Zuckerberg's company, by any other name, is revealed to be a major source of societal rot, from devouring the self-esteem of teenagers to peddling misinformation to maintaining a startlingly feckless — or worse, laissez-faire — approach to policing hate speech.

So what really died here, with the rise of Meta? Society? Society as we know it? The pre-Zuckerverse, where us poor plebes couldn't text via Ray-Ban-branded augmented reality glasses while pretending to be paying attention to an in-person conversation?

The answer, far from an acknowledgment of defeat to the slings and arrows of Congressional investigation and investor distress, appears to be an invitation to a danse macabre, implicating us in the demise of life as we know it as he strives to "bring the metaverse to life."

"Our mission remains the same, it's still about bringing people together," Zuckerberg insisted.

Sounds like a shiva.

On Thursday, when Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the new name for Facebook — Meta — to mark its transition to what he calls "the metaverse," he raised a few eyebrows among Hebrew-speaking Jewish communities:

Yes, Facebook has always been about "bring people together" — under the watchful eye of the post-911 mass surveillance octopus called Total Information Awareness, a DARPA project.

Facebook is a massive psy-op where people literally give all their personal information, photographs, and social connections to a for-profit private intelligence collecting company with deep connections to the CIA, NSA, FBI, and the Israeli Mossad.

Never the brightest guy himself, Zuckerberg was shocked at how willingly the public gave him their personal information to enrich himself, derisively calling them "dumb f*cks" for doing so.

Only a naif would believe that Zuckerberg himself created the new name, Meta, for Facebook — and that it was created, as this article suggests, in reaction to this latest orchestrated and false "crisis" in the company.

Basically, the gist of the so-called "whistleblower" controversy was that Facebook wasn't censoring anyone to the right of Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky — a gripe that the Anti-Defamation League had been orchestrating since Facebook had allowed Holocaust denial among its users.

The Facebook leviathan acquired the Toronto-based AI company Meta back in 2017 — so the plan to rename Facebook has been in the works a long time — but usually when a large company takes over a tiny company, the larger company doesn't take on the tiny company's name.

doubt an army of Kabbalah experts were consulted about the occult significance of the name "Meta" — satanic corporate names and logos have become the new normal.

And there can be no doubt that the "Chan-Zuckerberg Iniatiatve" is a type for the Judeo-Masonic plan moving forward — a Jewish-Chinese alliance which will orchestrate the merging of the West with the Chinese communists — who have already instituted this model "social credit" control matrix that is incrementally being introduced in the West.

And this new Meta "death cult" is intimately tied into the global "pandemic" surveillance control grid — which has been described as "halachically Jewish" in its design — and will be used for contact tracing and engendering a global "snitch culture."

This "snitch culture" is based on life in the Jewish shtels of eastern Europe — a yiddishkeit where everybody was watching everybody under the watchful eye of the busybody yentas — popularized on the 1960s American television sit-com Bewitched! by the nosy Jewish neighbor, Mrs. Kravitz.

Except this new "Meta" shtetl will be no laughing matter.

'Hands off our META': Facebook stole new name from left-wing Athens think tank, says ex-Greece finance minister Varoufakis

Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis waded into the hubbub around Facebook changing its corporate name to 'Meta', accusing Mark Zuckerberg of "borrowing" the new title from the moniker of an anti-capitalist think tank.

In a series of tweets on Friday, Varoufakis told the Facebook founder to keep his "hands off our mέta" – referring to the Athens-based 'Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation'. The non-profit research center lists the Greek MP on an advisory board that includes scholar Noam Chomsky, musician Brian Eno, filmmaker Ken Loach, economist James K. Galbraith, and philosopher Slavoj Žižek.

Established in 2020, the think tank's mission statement says it works through "art and research, argument, and poetry" to "break with a dystopic present" by aiding "radical progressive movements."

"You, and your minions, wouldn't recognize civilization even if it hit you with a bargepole," tweeted Varoufakis, who added separately that the big tech firm helps create the current dystopian reality.

Varoufakis also accused Zuckerberg of having previously "borrowed" the name of his Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM) movement to rebrand his cryptocurrency. Facebook's under-development cryptocurrency was originally named 'libra' but renamed as 'diem' last year.

Zuckerberg announced his ambitious plans for the creation of a virtual "metaverse" last week amid a spate of negative press coverage linked to whistleblower Frances Haugen's allegation that the Silicon Valley giant prioritizes "profit over people." He renamed the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp as 'Meta' effective immediately.

The rebranding elicited both support and ridicule on social media, including from several influential figures and even popular fast food chain Wendy's. It also spawned a variety of memes – at least one of which played on the new title to suggest another less obscure Greek connection for the name: the famous 'Feta' cheese.

While some social media users dismissed Varoufakis' claims as "narcissistic" and "delusions of grandeur," many commenters appeared to agree that the similarities between the two instances of renaming looked "almost like it was on purpose."

In response to Varoufakis' tweets, another Greek organization Metabook – which described itself as the "largest marketplace of used books" in the country – claimed that its name was one of those that Facebook had "shortlisted." It added that while the tech giant "finally cut the 'book' part," it "kept our logo." Both logos feature a variation of the infinity loop symbol.

Most, however, said that claiming "ownership" or having some sort of "trademark" over a word that is part of the common parlance today was "stupid" — while others were sure that the renaming was simply part of a plan to "divert" some of the bad press away from the company.
