Response to lecture week 8.

Virtual philosophy.

Virtual philospohy is about what we "think" is real is actually not real. Virtual reality involves our two senses like sight and hearing. This makes us able to think that something is real when it is not. Like when we read a book, we can have the same reactions to become mad, angry, sad etc. as if we experienced the same in real life. When we play for example a computer game and we are competing against others in a car race, it could feel as it is real life. We are to caught up in the moment to separate fiction and real life.

I think we all have heard about women wanting to have a baby so bad that they loose their period and the pregnancy test is positive, even the blodtest because the woman produces so many of the hormones women get when they are pregnant. They can even feel fetal movement! this a serious menatl illness, but still, it is something virtual, they are so blinde to the feeling of wanting to become a mother that their body belives it as well, but in real life they are not.
