11:00:11 | Lucifer | I have to bug out before noon cause some people are coming to look at the house |
11:00:16 | Sat | "objective" or subjective time? |
11:00:27 | Sat | Because for me it doesn't start for an hour. |
11:00:34 | Sat | * Sat nods |
11:00:41 | Lucifer | Welcome to the Virus weekly chat! |
11:00:46 | Lucifer | first one in almost 4 years |
11:00:57 | Sat | * Sat appluads politely |
11:00:57 | Lucifer | today's topic was suggested by Sat |
11:01:04 | Lucifer | Dominion Theory |
11:01:29 | Sat | the 4 year isn't completely accurate. we used to chat in SL |
11:02:12 | Lucifer | ok, 4 years since the last archived chat |
11:02:54 | Lucifer | which also took place in SL |
11:02:58 | Sat | So, ya. Anyhow. Back in the day Lucifer and I were speculating about virtual worlds post-singularity, and we came up with dominion theory. |
11:03:16 | Lucifer | so what is the basic idea? |
11:03:34 | Lucifer | I envision a future that contains a multitude of virtual worlds |
11:04:00 | Lucifer | Everyone that is online will have the ability to create their own world with their own rules |
11:04:02 | MoEnzyme | * MoEnzyme has returned |
11:04:12 | Sat | I seem to remember the essence being that one could create worlds which for all purposes are real, and each world would have it's own rules. |
11:04:23 | Lucifer | * Lucifer nods |
11:04:26 | Lucifer | wb Mo |
11:04:32 | Sat | Within those worlds one would be bound by the rules, etc. |
11:04:52 | Sat | I also remember thinking of a dominion as an extension of one's own psyche, in a sense |
11:05:28 | Lucifer | Dominions will compete for people to visit |
11:05:34 | MoEnzyme | Perhaps then we should call it "virtural cominion theory", to distinguish it from dominionism. |
11:05:39 | Sat | For me the idea is inspired by the LaVeyan idea of total environments and Localroger's PI novel. |
11:05:43 | Lucifer | but visitors will have to play be rules or be banished |
11:06:17 | Lucifer | You can call it what you like, Mo |
11:06:18 | MoEnzyme | "virtual dominion theory" even. |
11:06:21 | Sat | and rules could include things like once you enter you cannot leave "alive." |
11:06:36 | Lucifer | There are dozens of uses of "dominion" |
