Your revolution is fatally deficient in my favoured dance step.

I have not enough time on my hands, but far too much ennui. I'm bored. I need a purpose in life again.

This is your golden opportunity to recruit me to your cause and make it my new hobby.

The hard part: I have to consider it inherently interesting. There are vast quantities of highly worthwhile things I'm not working on but instead giving a bit of money to bribe others to think about.

Go on, make your pitch. What's your mission and what's the fun bit? What's your current obsession? ^* What's your favourite big unsolved problem?

* that could not be described as mere consumerism

Not that I expect you to buy my way of looking at things, but I think it's hard for any other cause to compete with the job of trying to increase the chances that humanity survives the next hundred years...

[reddragdiva]

Yes, but I'm not the only one reading. Job, did you say?

[ciphergoth]

As in task. Extremely few people get to make a living out of it. Sorry!

[reddragdiva]

That's what I thought :-) So, got a pitch you think you could make in your own words? What would you say to recruit the merely bright, like me?
