Even with two isolated identities, there is only one brain/body. Time and time again, despite people's very strong intentions, virtual life bleeds into physical life, for better or for worse.Botgirl Questihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707252228872837054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7329817540513850224.post-8560708826978641702010-08-24T08:47:17.228-07:002010-08-24T08:47:17.228-07:00There is plenty of truth to this video.

A movie will cause us to react emotionally to what we see on the screen, however, our emotions are greatly augmented when we are the ones actually forming a part of that story. <br /><br />Some may think that what we experience in the virtual world does not affect us in real life, but they are completely wrong. Our brains are constantly being stimulated by what we see, hear, touch, smell, and sense. In a virtual world those senses are limited but yet our brains accept it as if we were experiencing this in real life. So you will feel strong emotions of love, hate, disgust, lust, fear, and even arousal. Separating these two worlds is, in my opinion, impossible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
