I don't know that it has to be complicated. Aren't you one of those people with a dozen different personas? Different "selves"? Our overlays aren't us, but they're still us as we could have been, in a different context. Being them for a month or so is still a learning experience, is it not? Like unlocking another part of our own potential, for the purposes of becoming more capable people.

Except the freerunning. I have no idea when the hell I'm going to use that part of my potential. I'd have to start wearing pants, for starters.

The point is, it's a different kind of learning, but it's still learning.
