I was kind of wondering when they'd be coming for gaming violence....

I think another take on that - i.e. other than feeling personally/individually invisible - is that we're not what can be pointed to or named, in accord with the following from the Ashtavakra Gita:

> liberation is to know yourself

> the witness of these

Anyway, I've messed with

somewhat: created account, posted once, commented on a post or two, responded to a couple surveys, noted a couple "like" notifications. I can find my way around.

But there's been no big "wow/yeah" to it.
