I am really interested in transmedia and I've only begun to learn about it.
I have trouble seeing where the rubber meets the road so that people are able to "cognitively craft reality" or to become "super mans" in the Nietzschian sense that he referenced.
Sounds like a lot of lofty talk that claims to be a road towards a richer experience for consumers of media in whatever form, but the returns on the promises sound shallow.
Maybe I just don't get it.

This present invention will foster an exalted renaissance in video games that allows one to battle not for the monetary fruits of success, but for success itself--for the higher IDEALS whose implementation leads to higher consequences, as ideas have consequences--to BATTLE FOR THE SOUL in CLASSICAL realms and worlds such as Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. . . Such games will result in epic, exalted storytelling aqs.org/patents/app/20090017886 awesome gamasutra. com/view/feature/4061/dramatic_play.php

It's not that simple.
His speech assumes there's an aesthetic beauty that transmedia should try to achieve. The truth is, tho, that this aesthetic sense is socially constructed, and it does no good to put "art" on a pedestal.
Transmedia storytelling should critique the dominant ideology, not mask economic and social realities under the guise of "building a better future." Making people believe they're supermen so they can happily withstand injustices is just like injecting them with drugs.

Rare is the speaker, whose challenge is so profound, that I'm left, some how, feeling inadequate. As Stephen's vision ascends higher, I find myself alone, quietly asking "Why aren't my dreams becoming reality? Why isn't the world I want appearing around me?" Then, when I realize I do not have the answers, I'm inspired to begin my ascent in search of those answers. Touching speech, well done Stephen.
