Chat Transcript for 07/21/08

roadnick: Good morning, do you hear me at Muse?
Bjorlyn Loon: Jenz, Im using this: Location: Metanomics takes place on Muse Isle, http://slurl.com/secondlife/Muse%20Isle/163/175/30 . Click here for a teleport from the web into Muse Isle in Second Life. Numbers at the set are limited for the show, so you may be notified that the sim is full. If for any reason you are unable to log in to Muse Isle, IM JenzZa Misfit, letting her know that you need a teleport to the venue.
Times: Metanomics airs on Mondays, Noon to 1:00 SLT (Second Life Time, same as Pacific Time). We will need you to be available via Second Life voice at 11:00 AM SLT the day of the program, and also to be logged into Second Life at that time.

Bau Ur: / In RL I am involved in a campus-based interfaith project to promote understanding between Muslims and Christians in the USA. Joint charity work seems like the very best way to promote appreciation of Christians and Muslims toward one another. It seems to carry a lot more weight than formal presentations/discussions of perspectives. Can Christians and Muslims do anything substantial together in a virtual world, something that affirms their shared values and virtues?

http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2008/02/muslims-and-the.html
Bjorlyn Loon: TO ASK YOUR QUESTIONS, type them in open local chat. Preface it with the word QUESTION:
Bjorlyn Loon: and thanks Bau!
Fleep: QUESTION: Does the project have any plans to engage with courses for cedit/educational institutions? I could see a course exploring Islam really benefitting from exposure to this project, for example.
Rose Springvale: Bau, Please come see what we are doing in the Al Andalus sims for such a project...
Widget Whiteberry: Eureka Dejavu
Eureka Dejavu: We intend to include Al Andalus in the project, Rose, and would love to speak with you soon
Irah Anatine: yes, they do!
Rose Springvale: we are on the list ... Drax is on top of it!
Draxtor Despres: Al Andalus is important in this project
Eureka Dejavu: there's our machinimis Draxtor Despres chiming in now!
Bjorlyn Loon: New World Notes on MUSLIMS IN THE METAVERSE:
http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2008/02/muslims-and-the.html
Bau Ur: ?I have visited AL Andalus and I like it. I do not see anything there, though, that represents Christians and Moslems doing any actual real good for suffering people, together.
Rose Springvale: bau, i'd be happy to introduce you to some of the people involved in projects.
Bau Ur: /:)Thanks Rose.
Free Radar HUD: /me v1.1 by Crystal Gadgets
Pip Torok: But Bau, shouldnt you be seeing that as very much a "stage 2" initiative ... first thing is to get established
Frans Tomsen: i see your point and agree eureka, but at 40 or 50 ava's a sim? - i mean, are we up to it technologically?
malburns: well said
malburns: thet re minority i think Beyers

Bjorlyn Loon: BIG EASY MONEY: Disaster Profiteering on the American Gulf Coast
http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=14004
Pip Torok: WW the real point is "is SL as much part of the world as RL?"
Hydra Shaftoe: Eh that's really only a problem in New Orleans. the rest of the gulf coast has been pretty diligent about spending its reconstruction funding well
Hydra Shaftoe: I live in the middle of the hurricane zone
JenzZa Misfit: TO ASK YOUR QUESTIONS, type them in open local chat. Preface it with the word QUESTION:
Bjorlyn Loon: WASHINGTON POST ON “PEACEMAKER”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/15/AR200510...
roadnick: I've heard about that game; great idea.
Bau Ur: /some people feel you are blasphemieng as soon as you express a religous point of view that differs from theirs. It would be good if people could recognize the essential sacredness of every person speaking truth as best they can, as well as they can see truth. :(
Object: See you at Metanomics, Watashi Xue
Bjorlyn Loon: well put, Bau
CeAire Decosta: Hi JimmyJet!
JimmyJet Fossett: Hi CeAire!
Eureka Dejavu: Yes, Bau.
Nany Kayo: question: I am working on a project that addresses how Native American culture in Second Life, called Native Lands. How can we learn more about your study and findings that may apply to what we are doing? Thanks.
Irah Anatine: i've been in Iraq recently exploring ways to use Second Life to bring information about what is going on there (mostly because media are losing interest on it, like Lara Logan recently said). I had the chance to speak to several local citizens and leaders who are asking for elections international observation. This seems to be a very sensitive subject, cause implies to "take part" for citizens, many times against the "official speech", both in Iraq and the west. Do you explore this Islam also? Would you participate in a project asking the UN the US and the EU for proper international observation of provincial elections in Iraq, for example?
Nany Kayo: oh how Native American culture is presented in Second Life
Eureka Dejavu: Join our Ning group, www.dancingink.ning.com and read DIP Magazine www.dancinginkproductions.com
malburns: Saw that Nany - nice
Bau Ur: /wow Irah.

Widget Whiteberry: Can building bridges between cultures create bridges between cultures?
Frans Tomsen: Statement instead of question: WAY too big a topic for sl!
Pip Torok: WW but when buildingbridges succeeds (arg in Northern Ireland ) ppl then take it for granted ...
Free Radar HUD: /me v1.1 by Crystal Gadgets
Bau Ur: /the ability to show videos in SL should open opportunities for serious formal and informal SL-based journalism...correspondingly,opportunities for mere propoganda too.
Eureka Dejavu: I will interivew Irah Anatine to discuss adding this information to Understanding Islam
Eureka Dejavu: interview
Irah Anatine: thank you:)
Bau Ur: /If LL is really serious about protecting avatar identity, SL could become a place for suppressed people to voice their point of view and network effectively.
Irah Anatine: I look forward to share what I saw
Eureka Dejavu: please get in touch asap
Robert Bloomfield: I hope I did justice to your comment, Irah
Irah Anatine: you did, thank you very much
Eureka Dejavu: thank you for connecting us
TaraYeats: QUESTION: Interfaith projects tend to draw participants from those who are already open-minded and willing to look for common ground. How do you see projects in SL such as yours connecting with those who are married to their prejudices, rather than just preaching to the choir?
Eureka Dejavu: because we are including people who are married to their prejudices to understand the implications
malburns: Oh good one Tara
Widget Whiteberry: their prejudices are embedded in their brains
Bau Ur: ?Tara, that was the great thing about soup kitchen volunteer projects and community cleanup and other things...a bit of the element of competition brought out the people who are not already really well disposed ot other religions :)
