And now, your Moment of Second Life Zen

Every now and then I get sent a link to something so crazy that it validates my existence. It allows me to think 'Well, I may be having a tough time, but at least I'm not this guy!' This ... rant, for lack of a better term, called 'Second Life of Thermodynamics', is one of those links. If you have to read something this short three times to try to understand it, and by the third time through still have a hard time deciphering what's being said, you must call it either madness or genius.

I think the author is against Second Life. I believe that comes across. Why he seems to hate it is another question completely. It's got something to do with creativity, but again, what? Something these types of pieces all have in common is the reliance on name-calling and labels: new-famed, globalized, techno-libertarian environment! Nazi-like slave-labor concentration camps! Traitorous British Cayman Islands hedge funds! I defy you, dear readers, to make sense of this, and summarize it for me in the comments. Actually, you'd better not -- I like you guys with your collective sanity intact.
