app for detox



imagine city wide free wifi, and a device in everyone's hand.

imagine an app much like seeclickfix but based on a process of learning we are calling detox. a self-assessment.


so say - a person wakes up, (or does it at night, whenever, ongoing even) does this detox, this self-reflection, [notice, dream, connect, do], texts to this app what they are noticing, what they are dreaming about, who/what they want to connect, what they want to do. 
imagine by noon they get 5 text #'s back, people in their community with similar detox text. they choose to meet up later that day or ongoing for a month.. get the stuff done that matters to them.

because our town is prototyping city as floorplan, and seeking a bold waiver of waivers, we have several spaces throughout the city for meet ups, manned already by brilliant experts. by people who care about facilitating curiosities. (ie: 900 plus retired teachers, virtual mentors, brilliant experts throughout the city, experts in every block no?)

let's call that school. let's free people in our town up to play this game over the next year. showing govt that we can crowdsource gatherings that matter.

more if you like.
it's amazing.

breathtaking vs mediocre..

ongoing work on the app here.

let's facilitate this. too many people seem to be asking if it's legal for them to think for themselves. let's help people see the value of making two ongoing conversations [1) with self, 2) with others] transparent. toward the intention economy (searls) and betterness (haque)
