Playgrounds Of The Self
Philosophy Posted by Aelhswith on Thursday October 06, @09:50AM
from the dept.
[article] blurb: We have created new worlds that allow us to change our names, our sex, our race, and even our humanity so that we might, at least for a while, experience what it's like to be something or someone else. We have created video games, the new playgrounds of the self. And while we worry, with good reason, about having our identity stolen by others, we ignore the great irony of our own mass identity theft --our own high-tech ways of inventing and reinventing the protean self, where the line between reality and virtual reality ultimately erodes and disappears.
