In a virtual environment, destroying the body destroys the consciousness, but both are
actually due to the underlying computations.
How can those thumped know it's virtual. A virtual environment with virtual people
doing virtual actions seems to make "virtual" virtually meaningless.
It is the difference between life and second life. Reality, and relative dreams.
That's the question, can such a difference be meaningful if the world is defined by
conscious experience. In the examples you give, the virtual is distinguished because it is
not a rich and complete and consistent as real life.
