Motivationskickar

Några samlades till ett spontant möte på Thothica idag för att diskutera: Why do you come to SL? Why do you keep coming back?


Husse behövde en motivationskick och bestämde sig för att lyssna istället för att låta farbror IB babbla själv. Här är bara lite av vad som sas...

- i come for art, to look at it and to build also of course, talking with people
- me like the music to
- I think chat is the most interesting. the graphics are very cool. but the people are endlessly complicated and variable. more interesting to figure out
- I think we have many eons of responding to the human form and sl makes enough of a bridge in that direction to be compelling
- it is very much a neurological interface that maps onto our more subconscious perceptual templates, I think. gives SL a real psychological wallop ;)
- so would I be right in rephrasing that to say that sl is a tool we have developed that can effectively extend how we interface with the world? and because it is an interface, it changes/affects how we perceive the world, what we believe the world to be
- I have noticed a lot of people go through big changes in rl while they are in sl
- this is a grat place to learn about yourself, and about others...
- i now what i have found, but, what i am looking for..still dont know
- so another way into this question that I think is interesting is what we call what we DO here. Do we "play" sl? Do we participate in it? What is the verb?
- i say, i am going to sl, like its a place
- "go" makes it sounds like it is still you here. you go to the grocery store and you go to sl. a continuity of self?
-I wonder how much better we want the immersion experience to be. there is some advantage to having it *similar* yet clearly distinct from rl
- i like to explore all the gardens too
- Being able to talk to folks of a sort I would never meet in rl
- and dance whenever I want
- but then, sl is sometimes unbearably lonely
- yes, but the difference in peoples' behavior well defines, the difference between "emotional" danger and "actual" danger, at least as the brain sees these things subconsciously
- i have had my heart broken here.tok forever to recover
- so, thats a real danger

Men dagens verkliga motivationskick fick han av att läsa To Bryn, with love, from SL

Tack Miso!!
