You can, for example, use it to allow multiple people to collaborate in Blender, with multiple people working on the same model. Might be useful for large SL building projects. Anyone tried that? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been in the business of knowing human psychology to sell you things you don't need, and triggering ways to addict you to things like an app, for three decades, the old adage "sex sells" has never ever gone out of fashion. And sex does not mean human bodies ... people in my profession use shapes, colours, textures, and even sounds to manipulate your physical responses. Just because you can popularize with a particular framing does not somehow make it wholesome or even natural. Usually the best things in life are desecrated. Goddesses rebadged as whores, or natural spiritual teachers like native americans' tobacco rustica perverted into cigarettes, addiction, and cardiovascular disease for great hegemonic profit. I think it's like this with the concept culturally nurtured by some for 'sex,' a word now overloaded with connotations in the minds of its detractors with vice, immorality, and deviant empty hedonism rather than a celebration of life, love, and soulful fusion unless it's done within the fences they erect to divide people from nature. Such incumbency is cynical and toxic or vulnerable to rapid colonization by deceptive manipulative memes as needed by their ideology and guiding spirits, thus virally spreading disillusionment with even the mechanics of biological life itself for the sake of their cultural dominance and control of hearts and minds at any cost with the force of mass media and a little foul play on the side. This is still a conversation about "the meta," because what people believe to be true becomes true for them (and if not, just sow some bioweapons and stand back and let love and life literally rot itself out from within, then loudly proclaim that it's proof that "God" (Patriarchal and mutually exclusive with all other concepts of higher dimensional life) was always on their side.). Machiavellian operators long ago realized the power of corrupting memes, and they have a faithful army of people who imprison themselves within these dark memes with cynical attitudes and zombie cultures of esoteric hate. We can't have an honest open conversation about gender and love beyond the bounds of their prerogatives because they want to have a conversation about binary sex since their three-ring-binders of enslavement depend upon that paradigm even though it's like insisting we light everything with kerosene even through we have electricity now. If they cannot weaponize it and use it to dominate and enslave culture, then they are filled with a compulsion to destroy it altogether. It's long past-due time to progressively nurture a culture that is wholesome and connected with natural reality, but with attitudes like "sex sells," life becomes desecrated and monetized and dominated by people who do not love and live harmoniously, but instead wage war and possess.

That is exactly the advice we should compassionately give anyone. Love unequivocally, don't hide the light, but let it shine in the darkness. In the free world of universally-protected self-expression, we're allowed to have reasonable opinions and make well-intentioned suggestions. It's called "speaking in good faith." It is wrong to crucify people who don't kowtow to dominator-enslaver cultures, it is wrong to be an accessory to historically well-documented and understood cultural genocide, it is wrong wrong wrong and there are few places online where it stands out more starkly than here, considering where we started, way back in the beginning. Now, as we embark upon the next generation of possibility for the Metaverse, it seems as though IngSoc culture has regressed mortally from where it was in 2003. What influences caused this, and who benefits? Edited October 11, 2022 by Brightstar7777 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's ok if YOU call people 'mad' as in crazy for speaking their opinion and objectionable and eternally wrong for that opinion? To refer to them as 'your kind of people' which is pretty demeaning IMO. I'll repeat. Follow your own advice. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Zhaoying Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 This! Folks, THIS is what the Forum is FOR! * happy dance * * discuss * Maybe one day we will have such rousing discussions on/in the Metaverse, instead of a legacy "world wide web" site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
