Why not set it up?
Put together the site and invite people to join.
The site could consist of a database of activities (simple textural descriptions would do) ranging from the mundane (cook eggs for your breakfast), through profane (go naked bungee jumping) to simply hysterical (dress like a rabbit and run 'round your town centre handing out carrots for no reason). It might need some sort of time management componant if you wanted to use the service to plan whole weeks or months for people.
Who would sign up?
Would there be different account types? EG. "Give me a day's worth of silly stuff to do" or "take control of thursdays for me" or "I hearby decree august to be SimLife month".
Where would the limits be? Could the site instruct people to quit their job, eat dog food or let the trash pile up in their cupboards because they're not "allowed" to take it out to the bins? This could get a bit "the dice man" if left unchecked!!
I recently decided to set up a non-digital version of this for myself. It'll be, when I get 'round to doing it ( ;-) ), a big book of fun stuff to do that I dream up at random times, but rarely get around/time to do. The idea is to complie the list of activities, and then give feedback to it - photographs, reviews etc. A site performing a similar function would benefit from such feedback.. It'd be great to see how different people interpreted the same sets of instructions.
Would it constitute a democratic big brother? Is that an oxymoron? :-)
This project has implications in politics, sociology, psychology, etc etc.. |
