I have it on good authority that the entire SL system is no more than a psychology experiment run out of U.C. Berkeley's Pysch Dept. to test people's reactions to different stimuli. I have confimed this from several reliable sources. Has anyone else heard this?

I think they got the response to a major grid crash once? Did one of the lecturer's notes get eaten by his dog? Mebbe that's why we're having a re-run of the griefsphere episode.

Nyx! Get serious! We are lab rats, fight the system!! Come on, Middy. This is absurd. I have it on very good authority that it is actually an Economics Experiment to determine how many people they can dupe into buying imaginary products. _____________________

Psychology experiment? Along the lines of "You don't have to be crazy to play SL, but it sure helps" perhaps?

I have it on good authority that the entire SL system is no more than a psychology experiment run out of U.C. Berkeley's Pysch Dept. to test people's reactions to different stimuli. I have confimed this from several reliable sources. Has anyone else heard this? I have it on good authority that you are not the brightest bulb on the string. |

AV you see on SL are not just alts of a dozen scientists making an experiment on you. And we didn't hack your internet connexion so that only you can access the SL website and forums (which are not fake). Also I am not paid by U.C. Berkeley's Pysch Dept.'s SL program (which doesn't exist) _____________________

Well, it's obviously an experiment. Every good startup is.
