		<description><![CDATA[Someone should set up a &lt;i&gt;Journal of Obvious Studies&lt;/i&gt;. A home for articles which strenuously confirm what every sane and literate person thinks is probably true.

In the 50s, people who claimed to have been visited by space aliens often said the aliens were wearing radiation suits and came with warning about nuclear war. In the 60s there were peace-and-love aliens, but also anti-communist ones. In the 90s it was X-Files style paranoia...except for those proclaiming the imminent dawn of a new age.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The author of the linked &quot;computer game delusions&quot; article expresses his concern that &quot;(...) in many of these games, points are scored for acting violently or even killing&quot; and &quot;if the game is transposed into the real world by a delusional state, the risk of subsequent violence is high—particularly if violence is not perceived to be illegal or morally wrong.&quot;

I&#039;d like to point out that even though violence is indeed a common theme in games (as well as in literature and movies), getting &quot;points&quot; for it is not. In most games you act as a character within an interactive narrative and progress by solving the problems/situations provided by the game. E.g. you are the leader of an U.S. Special Forces unit in Iraq, trying to stop a terrorist plot or Batman, fighting crime. There are exceptions, yes, but in the grand majority of games you are the good guy and violence against the innocent is portrayed as wrong and often punished. Therefore, I don&#039;t believe video games are more likely to result in violent delusions than any other medium.]]></description>
