@aral So... the only people who say "in the real world" are people appealing to the status quo? Or to contrast to digital worlds?

@Shoseki Wasn’t referring to that usage but, that too, is a fallacy — there’s only one world, digital is part of it :) -
@aral So if I say "I'm going to hunt you down and brutally destroy you", I can only be referring to real life and not an avatar in a game? -
@Shoseki Well if you do hunt down and destroy my avatar that happens in real life :) -
@aral Reality is messy and emergent, don't you think "in the real world" is to contrast to "in an ideal system". -
@Shoseki Again, every time I’ve seen it used, it’s an appeal to status quo. The “ideal system” being that which is being proposed as alt.
