 Intelligence and Reality, Chapter 4
Reality is the formality of impression, and transcendentality is the moment of the "ex" of this formality.
The three ideas of intellection, intellectively known reality, and the being of reality in intellection, are distinct and comprise the three themes which I shall study in the next three chapters: the idea of the essential nature of intellection, the idea of reality as known intellectively, and the idea of reality in intellection.
Reality as such is not a concept of concipient intelligence; it is a concept of sentient intelligence.

 REALITY
From this point of departure, Thomistic realism is seen to be a limited realism, since the universal, though it is not formally, as universal, in the individual sense object, has nevertheless its foundation in that object.
According to Aristotle, real distinction between potency and act is absolutely necessary if, granting the multiplied facts of motion and mutation in the sense world, facts affirmed by experience, we are to reconcile these facts with the principle of contradiction or identity.
It is a real capacity to receive a definite, determined form, the form, say, of the statue, a capacity which is not in air or water, but is in wood, or marble, or sand.

 Virtual Reality and Virtual Irreality, On Noh-Plays and Icons - Theandros - Online Journal of Orthodox Christian ...
On the one hand, western VR tries to found its reality on "nothing" (this is why it is virtual); but on the other hand, it clings to "reality" as the primordial model it strives to imitate.
First, what distinguishes the virtual reality of Noh-plays from common, technological VR, is that the latter follows the principal lines of Western aesthetics and attempts to establish an alternative kind of "virtual realism" by means of logic and reason.
Computerized virtual reality, on the other hand, though based on these same characteristics, is unable to let these characteristics work in the service of a relief of existential angst and materialist loneliness.

 Thoughts on Conservative Thought: 1. Second Reality and our Republic. [Free Republic]
And that, in essence, is what Second Realities are, man-made gods, whether in any specific case they are identified as this "good cause" or that, one ideology or another, a philosophy, a theology, Reason, Logic, Wisdom, literally anything that a man can embrace as the central meaning of his life.
Given that the ideological systematizers of second realities have succeeded in destroying all possibility of rational discourse, you cannot “win the argument” with them: Their “analytical method” is designed to be beyond the reach of rational argument.
As for second realities connection to human will...I think it reflects a lack of strength of will to withstand the temptations of living according to our wishes, needs and lusts, rather than according to some set of rules consistent with life, liberty and happiness.

 Second Life Education Research » Blog Archive » Applying Gorgias’ Theory of Rhetoric to Virtual ...
By considering all of SL as virtual reality created by a consensus on language, reality through agreement on the significance of a shared symbol set, we can see that language itself can create a kind of reality, a reality made of language.
Instead it is a version of reality made of pure language in which the rhetoric that an agent uses is accepted by others.
Thus a rhetorical reality builds upon the individual’s consent to accept her or her part in the established rhetorical system upon which it is built.

 Reality (part II): Three Orders of Pain
To begin, the characteristics and placement of zero, first, and second order in relation to each other must be made absolutely clear, for it is in their differences that an answer to the previous question resides.
Second order ones seek to preserve "good," first order preserves "pleasure" and zero order preserves spiritual or material "evolution" depending on whether the judgment system is STS or STO oriented.
Second order lessons are subjective, and so there is no objective standard as simple as pleasure/pain or life/death to go by.

Second Life certainly can be used for escapism, but that’s definitely not the reason that I’m in there.

Because of my personal commitment to the field of Virtual Reality Therapy, I think it is fitting to acknowledge that one of the simplest and most powerful working definitions of virtual reality is offered by the authors in the second edition of their book, gives the three "I"s of virtual reality.
At a time when Virtual Reality is experiencing something of a comeback, and is delivering real results and benefits, they have produced a timely tome that will be of immense value to practitioners and students alike.

 Second Reality by Smash Designs and The Obsessed Maniacs (1997)
However, the execution is pretty lackluster: It is buggy (endscroller wraps into random memory, seams in landscape in the intropicture etc) and the choice of 4-color pictures for most parts (landscape, 2nd reality intropic, Raytrace/Sword, End-Picture, End-Screenshots) just leaves me asking "Why?".
The music is really nice and i enjoyed it lots cause i love the original (like many others), although it has to be said that if you play it to c64 sceners that don't know the original they don't seem to be so amazed...
But for those who've seen several classic C64 demos, they know that some of the effects are ugglier or slower than what the C64 can really do.

 A Note to Unreal Reality   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In fact, it may even be possible that what they take for reality is in fact pure imagery created by themselves to help them understand grasp a deeper reality.
Now nothing is wrong with this mental imagery to help them understand reality, other than the fact that they may become so focused on that analogy, that they lose focus on the reality that it was supposed to help them grasp and understand, thus losing and defeating its own purpose.
But when they are searching for a deeper truth that the first reality is part of, this mental imagery will not help them obtain the second other than understanding the first part, because the second reality is more complex than the first.

 AlterNet: A 30-Second Reality Check
MoveOn.org Voter Fund essentially took a swing with a big stick at the beehive of conservative support for President George Bush by sponsoring an amateur television commercial contest that drew bombastic fire from the Republican National Committee over two entries that compared Bush to Adolph Hitler.
The contest, Bush In 30 Seconds, in which amateur filmmakers were invited to send in 30-second spots that organizers hoped would "tell the truth about the President and his policies," began in December.
The finalists were judged on Monday in New York City and MoveOn.org Voter Fund will spend up to $10 million to broadcast the winning commercial in swing states Jan. 17-21 to coincide with the President's State of the Union address.

Well she has messed up a few times - almost saying her real name in the early part of this last show, and pausing for the cameraman to fix his camera when she was supposed to be making a confession to Ingrid.
It might be that the producers feel she is too much of a liability so they might remove her earlier than planned (or maybe she was scheduled to go at this point).
But I have to remind myself that this is a FAKE reality show that is making fun of other reality shows.

 Matrix, Truman Show, artificial synchronicity and reality
THEY try to bend your belief system through falacies, false dichotomies and false premises, in order to sell you distorted ideas about their SECOND reality, which is presently only a reality-to-be to you.
THEY sell a dreamworld that doesn't exist, which is quite different from their REAL second reality (the so-called BACKSTAGE), and force you to deliriously fantasize about it.
Through mind reading, synchronicity, language and the association of ideas, THEY have created a SECOND MEANING for the very words you hear, repeating thoroughly the key words and intentionally avoiding the synonyms, the other words, and phrases without this second meaning.
