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.

Summit for the Rad

This one comes from Jocelyn Giannini:

So I recently had an idea for a reality show called “Social Physics”: a person gets to choose two random friends from different periods in her life who have never met, but she’d be interested to see interact. The two friends go off on some camping trip in the Himalayas or sailing around somewhere, and then the friend joins after a week, and it is filmed. I think there should be some “objective”, like try to pair up people you think would become best friends or something.

Personally, I would love to be able to devote my life pairing up Friend A from middle school with Friend B from some job…sigh. It’s a shame all the cool people we meet in our lives don’t all get to know each other. I think for my 30th birthday party I’ll rent out some isolated cabin and insist that every cool person I have ever known spend a few days there. A Summit For The Rad, if you will.
