    Have you ever been in SecondLife? To me it is a beautiful, egalitarian idea, which when realized becomes an incredibly lonely, empty and boring place.

    I don't know if it just needs more time and fine tuning to really come into its own, or if it is fundamentally flawed.

    I just asked Steph what she thinks, and she points out that SecondLife, being a simulation of real life, is actually very poignant. When you spend some time in SecondLife and then wonder aloud, "What's the point of this?", consider the larger question: "What is the point of that which is being simulated?"

    one other thing-

    It has been pointed out that the miraculous, multi-voice World Wide Web usually doesn't provide the incredible diversity of ideas which you might assume.

    I know this is true in my own life. I do not actively seek out online opinions which are different from my own. Instead, I actively filter out the voices which I do not agree with.

    Look as my RSS reader, my inbox subscriptions, my iGoogle news headlines. They are actually quite monolithic. And they lull me into thinking that the Whole Wide World agrees with me, when really I'm just amplifying the voices I want to hear.
