I, Avatar: part 2

In an article written by Sherry Turkle, she argues that the lives we lead may not be the actual reality that makes us, as an independent being, exist. It becomees apparent to ludologists that one's presence in a virtual space most often leads to the creation of a more liberal minded personae. These personae become ways for individuals to express themselves in ways they couldn't in the constraints of their "physical" reality. It is also being argued that a person can feel more like themselves with the assistence of a virtual persona than they can in the physical relm where one might feel trapt by their current job, living arrangement, physical shortcummings or social status. This being said, can not the drudgery of an unwanted (or unfulfillinf) existance be less real than one enjoyed on the virtal plane? If a person finds the time spent in a virtual world more fulfilling on a productive and social status building level, than why can't that existence be considered that person's true reality?
