Drew Carey's Reason.TV presents "Second Life - A Virtual Frontier"

SECOND LIFE - A VIRTUAL FRONTIER

Drew Carey takes us on a guided tour of Second Life (SL), a virtual world with more than 500,000 residents.

But SL isn’t your typical virtual world. Unlike other popular massively multiplayer online role-playing games, like EverQuest and World of Warcraft, there are no defined roles or objectives in SL. Just like in real life, SL residents determine their own goals and decide for themselves how best to achieve them. Moreover, virtually everything in SL was created by the residents themselves using tools provided by Linden Lab, the company that launched SL in 2003.

SL is based on a simple set of institutional arrangements that would make F.A. Hayek proud. In essence, the people who own the property in SL make the rules. The result is a spontaneously ordered world in which residents are free to fly, teleport, build, trade and interact with others without interference from the state.

Recently, Linden Lab—the SL equivalent of a state—has begun acting more and more like a real life government by restricting activities such as gambling. But open source competitors based on the SL platform are currently in development. so better virtual worlds offering even more freedom are just around the corner.

Reason.TV - Drew Carey's Second Life Episode

----------> REASON.TV - Episode: Second Life <------------ Here it is! Drew Carey's "Reason.tv"
... tonight's episode: Second Life.
This appears to be an episode not yet released, but as I mentioned months ago, Drew and I met up to have a little chat, and that I would be appearing in an upcoming Reason.tv episode featuring Second Life.

I want to especially thank Drew and his Second Life crew for using 5 ORIGINAL TUNES of mine for the episode!!! I cannot express how appreciative I am at the music usage.

Drew Carey (Who's Line is it Anyway, The Price is Right) is a top-list comedy producer, writer, actor, among many things. He is also an activist. Not only an activist, but the right kind of activist. The kind of activist the world needs. I have always loved Drew Carey's entertainment work, however I have never been more thrilled and appreciative with the work that he is doing with Reason.TV. I encourage everyone to check out, many, if not ALL of the previous episodes.

Thank you to Holli Hollwood for delivering the first footage to me! Holli Hollwood's Weblog
