Thanx Mark for your great, i.e. inspiring report from Austin. One question
though came to my mind immediately when I read your line: What ifther's
no such thing as a "self"? What if we are nothing but another database,
for everybody else pretty hard ti distinguish from yet any other database.
Maybe that's why we have to create a "representation" for ourselves, while
in VR - because we don't even know how to distinguish ourselves from
all the other databases. An idea I guess that most Eastern thinkers,
historical and present, might share. An idea furthermore that might have
striking impacts for future experiences of live in (not only Virtual)
Realities.
