Bloody Deleuze again with not a shred of peer revieved evidence for the
tradition he draws upon, not even sure if he has been in first life.
Take it from me a lucid dreamer that there is a lot more to 'reality' than
can be imagined, virtual worlds are a piss poor simulacrum for the world of
the Shaman :)
Come on Delueze Absinthe vs Essence .... Bishop Berkeley rides again and
once you cut that tree down all hell is raised!

> issues on which research is only commencing. Topics include real-world
> ethical and legal issues of doings in virtual worlds, norms of research
> ethics in virtual worlds, ethical implications of employing virtual worlds
> as tools for medical education and experimenting with healthcare services,
> the ethics of the collective action of virtual world communities,
> consideration of the virtue and potential of cosmopolitanism in virtual
> worlds, Deleuzian ethical approaches to the experience of the disabled in
> virtual worlds, the ethics of virtual world design, and the ethical
> implications of the "illusion of reality" presented by virtual worlds.
