I love Virtual Reality.
I love games...even though I don't really play any anymore, except mind-games, I suppose, and even that doesn't have the same thrill it once had.
This is a total waste of time.
The people devoted to Alternate Realities should be assiduously having their avatars live in alternative social systems in order to simulate and test for a future which will actually work for Man and the World - the real Man, the real World, and not give us this punctuated series of great guzzling wealth and absolute despair!
Of course, I used to think they would investigate new religious disciplines, but they seemed to devote themselves to gods of warfare and a grimey mish-mosh of ancient myths. So the same thing is happening with economics and politics and society.
Just as good scientists use simulations on large scale, we should be simulating our visions of true Utopia on a massive scale.
The Internet was created to make the Future!
Don't let it be a re-make of the Past!

This is a pretty sad commentary on the imagination of the role-players in the virtual future. All they can conjure is a more glitzy present. I'll bet they're killing the prophets in that world, too.
Actually they're pretty good at conjuring up a more depressing present, also.
