There Is Justice
Thinking about what goes on inside complicates the question of the virtual and the real, because it leads to the conclusion that since I live in two worlds in the real world already, the outer and the inner, a virtual world is actually a 3rd world. So, if I were to sit quietly and enter my inner world in a closed room in Lambda Moo, would the inside I visited be a 4th world? Of course not. We all know that would be a ridiculous statement, because nobody needs technology to go into his or her inner world to begin with. No matter which world we’re in ––the real or the virtual–– we’re in the same inside. And this means, in reality, if he isn’t a true sociopath, Mr. Bungle committed a very real crime against himself.
