I don't mean to be nitpicky, but the phrase " get into the real world " really
bugs me, because it implies that there is some monolithic real world and that
other worlds are somehow less real. But reality is social ; and therefore,
whenever a social practice is created, that is the reality for that place. So
if Daly is creating a microsocial environment, that's a challenge to larger,
mediated consensus realities, and not something she should necessarily
acquiesce to. It's a struggle, a challenge, and "get into real world" seems to
me to be about compromising, conforming, etc. It seems to me that more and
more challenges to "the real world" need to be delivered, because that
mediated real world is destroying the earth.
