Re: [-empyre-] the symbolic and the real

yes, your right we are at it still  -- as you know I do not believe in
the ideal of horizontal / homogeneous concepts of the real -- I think
all discourse systems are developed to produce and identify differences
so that we may make choices that may be thought to have effect within a
given set of parameters -- while VR may create the illusion of this  it
is more circumscribed than the everyday -- as such I choose to work and
function within the confines of a reality (not a real) that is more
circumspect and seemingly more open to intervention
