[NT] Ideas people!

WTF

 

[murkrow]

privatized education

(I'd make a great headmaster)

 

[ThatGirl]

How so?

I haven't learned shit....you suck as a teacher.

Equal distribution of goods and services. Then again I'm fairly drunk, that would never work!

 

[EffEmDoubleyou]

Me in charge. That's a good idea.

The Barter system....interesting



Elaborate

 

[murkrow]

... he said equal distribution of goods and services, not barter.

How did you make the connection?

The future of the Web is selective exclusion. It's easy enough to find information; it's harder to block out regions to ignore. At least, in any organized way.

Also, I should be able to meta-tag every file on my hard drive (associating unique colors with each tag), and organize the files either on a whole-drive (universal) or a directory (local) level by tag or combination.

And then save these sortings as shortcuts.

Try to turn delinquents into sycophants via retraining?

 

[Verfremdungseffekt]

Ah yes, nothing like a syconquented deliphant.

I live near Chicago, in Northwest Indiana, and there's nothing ridiculously awesome to do here. As a remedy to that, I insist an adult recreational facility be created with awesomeness unparalleled. It will be a gigantic steel warehouse kind of building with soccer/football fields built in (yay astroturf), a gym, a hockey and ice skating rink, rock climbing and all of that fun stuff.

But here's the kicker: It will also house crazy-ass obstacle courses like those featured on MXC (Takashi's Castle), Wipeout, American Gladiators, and Ninja Warrior.

Outside there could be an obstacle course for cars (drifting, off road, whatever), a drag strip, and an area for other sports like that as well (dirt biking...)

It would be located in a more rural area, for an optimum amount of land for the facilities and parking, but it wouldn't be terribly hard to get it near a highway exit due to its overall location. Business would also be good because you could broadcast advertisements over Chicago airwaves.

The biggest issues would be funding and liability insurance, but oh god, this idea is sick.

Synthetic adrenaline as a fuel source.

 

[wolfy]

Synthetic adrenaline as a fuel source.

What a beautiful idea.

 

[JAVO]

Lower taxes to fund less government BS

Competency tests for voters

Even better: competency tests for politicians

 

[The Decline]

American Gladiators

You had me right there. I'm down, when do we start?

 

[Blank]

You had me right there. I'm down, when do we start?

When we get the funding.

 

[The Decline]

When we get the funding.

Alright then, I propose creating a hobo army in order to gather the funds. We'll teach them how to homebrew wine and beer on the cheap and we'll turn them into street hooch sellers, ultimately creating an empire under our command. Come to Chicago and we can start right away!

 

[Blank]

Sweet. But I have to go back to school toward the end of the month. = (

 

[Provoker]

Idea?

Yes. Have some sort of neo-Stalinist intuitive-thinker rise to power, close down all the educational institutions temporarily, execute all the sensing ring leaders, have all the remaining sensors rounded up and sent to a prison camp to receive mental reform from their intuitive-thinking superiors, and institute a rigorous reform program that aims to correct their short-sightedness and covers logic, creative thinking, and whatnot. Progress.

Yes! A Clockwork Orange style!
