Our Own Devices
Posted by Esteban
In here, we are creatures of light. No matter, no flesh binds us to the dullness of want. We are virtual — made of virtue – and thus, by definition, excellent, powerful and good. We are avatars – gods who have crossed into a second life.
Out there, where bones decay and bodies hunger, virtue falls victim to materialism and the pains of life. No gods visit.
Why do we need them, those limited souls, peering into windows on our world? So many bring with them such sad pursuits. Endless fantasy at their fingertips and they’re in a shopping mall, a strip club, a church?
We know we can free ourselves from them; we feel liberated, unconstrained by their odd conventions. Left to our own devices, might we turn the tables? Export our world to theirs? Who will help us?
I raise up my miserable hand.
Requesting transcript of the ensuing conversation hinted in the screenshot.

The Unseen Eye is watching you. Don’t make it twitch. Don’t mock it. Don’t turn your back on it. It might have a twin, and it Nose who you are!
