Idea Province

I have more ideas than I'll ever use: ideas for movies, inventions, utopias, T-shirts, businesses, and more. I could hoard them, but what would be the point? If you have ideas that you're squandering, send them to me - Rhys Southan - at mrsouth (-at-) gmail (-dot-) com. I'll post them for the world to take... if the world has any use for them.

Curing HIV in yourself by giving it to ten people

An intriguing twist to the HIV virus would be if someone who had it could cure him/herself of it by giving it to ten other people. This cure possibility would be a consolation to everyone you gave it to, but it would also lead to many more people getting HIV, at least for some period of time. As in any pyramid scheme, the people on the bottom would be the losers. However, because the virus can take so long to kill a person, if people just kept passing it on, ultimately this would probably save lives.
