Place, Space, Face


Per the ongoing conversation of AKMA, David, Tom and others, of the Web's placelessness, spacelessness — I wonder if much has been said about it being an "out-of-body" experience. Perhaps what feels so real about the Web, is that we can speak our minds honestly and since we are not physically present, we have no threat of bodily harm ... REAL freedom of speech.

Maybe life is grand on the Web because we've soulfully side-stepped our physical bodies? It's such a cumbersome thing sometimes, the human body.
