avatar

What if life were like one giant MMORPG? What would it look like? Wouldn’t it be cool if our true reality were very similar to this model, which of course would fit the fractal model of the universe. Here you have two options: living the human avatar in the game of life in either the first person or the third. You start out in the first person, all new and ready to explore the world. You set out to gain experiences and upgrades and you have lots of “victories” and “defeats” in this game. It ironically does seem that way in our evolving understanding of the universe as time goes on.

Then you realize something: there is a whole new level to playing this game that you heard about from others in chat rooms. It’s called the third person and you get to do things that you couldn’t otherwise get to do in first person mode. In order to play a game in the third person, you are no longer experiencing the game by viewing it through the avatar’s eyes, but a higher set. You can control more options in the game, you can do things such as pause it, perform repairs or upgrades, warp between screens or even worlds, and lo and behold even chat to others that are not even near your little guy down there. How kewl is that?!
