I believe in reality only when it forces itself upon me. The rest of the time, I’m living in a novel.
I play lots of Skyrim. Sure the people are just pixels with scripted lines but they show more intelligence with AI scripting than most humans in 2015.
When I see articles about kids abandoning reality for life playing videogames, I no longer see it as a bad thing. Of course the libs are hard at work with Gamergate trying to turn that industry into a propaganda wing as well.
