Convergence of the Real and the Virtual Conference

A meme is definitely being propagated here  ...  evidently, I was needlessly concerned that the paper I presented at the Breaking the Magic Circle Conference at the University of Tampere on April 10, 2008 was too off-the-wall .... now there is a conference being held inside World of Warcraft on the same topic! Granted, it's with a scientific as opposed to a political-economy approach, but it still feels good that I apparently share some of my intuitions with an esteemed individual such as William Bainbridge of the National Science Foundation. I have created a Priest character named Apophenius, specifically for the occasion.
