Sometimes I prefer my worlds to do the storytelling, there's no lore or explanation on what this place is or why it is the way it is, why large stone hands dot the landscapes in either gestures of supplication when facing up, or gestures of sheltering when facing down.

We recently held our Street Epistemology meetup to practice civil discourse on disagreeable things. Linked below is a reflection on this practice. Feel free to join us on #Discord and then #VRChat for this event and more! #CivilDiscourse 🗣️: discord.gg/VTrRRkDjTj bridgemakers.world/2025/04/27/p...

This is an image of the following questions in ascending order for the Street Epistemology activity.

3. Religion should always have a place in society.
2. The world needs violent video games.
1. If there is no oncoming traffic, it is okay to turn left at a red arrow light.

This week at BridgeMakers, we gathered again for one of our most unique exercises: a Street Epistemology Spectrum event. Each time we do this, we step into a practice space — one where playfulness, seriousness, humility, and fire all get to coexist. We are not here to “win” arguments. We are here to stretch, to listen, and to remember each other’s humanity across even the most complex or heated topics.

Wonder why PMR's cardboard avatars have become so popular in Second Life? Because they're a big break from SL's default ultra-realistic human avatars which, while cool, have become so standard, they've hurt SL's community spirt. Read why in this excerpt from my book: nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2025/04/...
