Creating for the Human: How World Design Sparks Meaningful Connections in Virtual Reality Despite a toxic exterior, social spaces in virtual reality are capable of many beautiful things. Through creating worlds for VRChat, I learnt that the design of these spaces has a far stronger impa…

Another essay, this time on what I've learnt from making many worlds for VRChat: their designs impact people's behavior in ways far stronger than I ever expected.

VR is an escape to a better world, here's how world design could help keep it better!

How “Remember the Human” Applies in the Virtual World Social VR is well known as a drama-filled and toxic space, despite the amazing experiences that come with it. This short rant-essay, built off of my own experiences, helps to explain factors I beli…

I've been through a lot in my time on VRChat, making many mistakes and doing my best to learn from them but finding it difficult.

I thought to condense what this taught me about social VR into something I think is worth reading. Let me know your thoughts!

We tend not to realize that we've decided our own facts based upon the way we originally view things. In failing to convince someone to think our way, we may think of them as amoral. How do we manage this online? Sign up for

Divisiveness can shape our interactions with another person on a computer elsewhere. The time/energy we spend doing that really influences how we interact with our own communities. How do we manage that?

This is a cartoon image of social media platforms depicted as people. The internet as we know it today forces us into isolation while promising us belonging. How can we still maintain healthy communication when our conflicting values disagree? In our new course starting on June 21st we will explore this embrace of conflict.

This is an image of the following questions in ascending order for the Street Epistemology activity. 3. Religion should always have a place in society. 2. The world needs violent video games. 1. If there is no oncoming traffic, it is okay to turn left at a red arrow light.

This week at BridgeMakers, we gathered again for one of our most unique exercises: a Street Epistemology Spectrum event. Each time we do this, we step into a practice space — one where playfulness, seriousness, humility, and fire all get to coexist. We are not here to “win” arguments. We are here to stretch, to listen, and to remember each other’s humanity across even the most complex or heated topics.

We recently held our Street Epistemology meetup to practice civil discourse on disagreeable things. Linked below is a reflection on this practice.

Feel free to join us on #Discord and then #VRChat for this event and more! #CivilDiscourse

VRChat friends, I know a lot of us come to the virtual world for healing, escape, and positivity, but the truth is that we have a duty to embrace our gifts and give back to the world by becoming politically aware.

We are an incredibly powerful species and we can make a huge impact on the world.
