I like the notion of a happy family of strangers, but it doesn't

   b) Work
   c) Organizations

   They work in subcultures, like Second Life, because they're in a
   mutually agreed system.

   Unless you can get people to start thinking systemically about
   the planet, I don't see how the happy stranger theory would
   work, even though I find it quite tempting. The fact that what
   we do online is virtual, is precisely what makes it different
   and what makes it work:

   It's not real life
