Question:
"For over 30 years, you been working on getting people to understand the
difference between fictional vampirism and the real human physiological
condition. Has progress been made? And if so, where do you feel have been
the greatest gains?"
Greetings..
A good question here, has progress been made? I definitely believe that there is a greater awareness
now about real vampirism being a physiological condition; however I believe this awareness has been
seen differently depending on where you look. When I first came online over ten years ago, I saw the
great possibility of using the internet to help educate people and change peoples thinking away from
fictional vampirism as it is portrayed in the film industry. During my time there, there has been this
explosion of interest in the subject and also a greater number of people who have the ability to access
the internet. This means there is a large pool of people that we as educators can influence. I believe
that now we are seeing the results of our work on the internet.
The one area that really still needs to see work is in the offline communities around us. We can only
achieve results there if we put more of our efforts into offline meetings and educational projects. We
realize that a large majority of people in our society remain convinced that the only description of
vampirism is this mythological creature portrayed in the media and in film. It is up to people here and
others who not only reach out to people here on the internet, but need to reach out to people who live
in the community offline and have limited use of the internet. We perhaps will never see the numbers of
people believing and understanding vampirism as a physiological condition as we would like, but our efforts
still count in the people we do reach.
Regards..
Damien Daville
