If Black Sun runs the entire world, then anyone wanting to seize control only needs to attack a single point.

To make sure that the greater virtual world isn’t, in the end, an ocean of smaller islands, we need to make sure that the virtual worlds can talk to each other; letting differently simulated entities share a common playground, and letting people from different regions and walks of life all share a distributed, shared experience.

by them way, not 1984 by orwell, but “the machines stop” by em forster is a better blog fodder book to use……
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Machine_Stops

but it is good to see that “only” 2 years into the hippie utopias of SL..and only 15 years after the same from jaron lanier and others that some reality is finding its way into vr again,..

not that it was ever not there before….as EM so suggested so long ago.
