070225-1 RESPONSE TO MINISTER'S SERMON
The minister at our UU Fellowship gave a sermon on one of the Buddhist 8 fold paths. She made a comment on how the online game Second Life adopted many of Buddhist principles as rules of behavior. During discussion afterwards, one of the members said that they felt that Second Life was irrelevant, that people hide in avatars of themselves, so that no real comunication takes place. In this walking video, I give my take on it, since I was up teaching the high schoolers.
About a year ago, I gave a sermon attempting to explain the approaching era of trans-humanism, I didn't do a good enough job! lots of work to do, got to help get people ready for the future, so it doesn't hit them like a truck!
