Oh. Heh. I thought the
You play video games, dont you?
thing was a statement, not a genuine question. Like "you take cannabis, don't you?" in response to a question. Not that the implication is quite the same, heh.
You, the player, manipulate a purely artificial world, supported on the higher-level interaction of electrons and protons as they are arranged inside microchips inside a computer, and as arranged by high level logical algorithms, from your physical chair, with your physical hands.
The artificial world inside the game is not just visually different, it is logically different. And yet, you can manipulate it.
But at our base value, we are both the same. The artifical world isn't truly a world, just a construct of my imagination and my thought process. I may think there is something deeper than a screen with pretty lights arrayed on it, but there isn't. Me interacting with the game is just a more complicated way of saying I can push over a domino. It is physical versus physical. There is no artificial world, only my perception of one. There is no other world for me to be outside.
To be outside the universe, God would have to be utterly, completely different from ANYTHING, whereas me interacting with a game is the interaction of like with like. Matter with matter. What is it to say non matter can interact with matter? Different things can interact with different things within our world, because they are all made up of the same stuff. The minerals used to make the metals in the computer may be used to form part of me.
I could go on, but I think I'm getting convoluted enough as I am
