If the PogoTribe is a heaven-like community, 4Chan is a hell-like 'community.' |

If the PogoTribe is a heaven-like community, 4Chan is a hell-like 'community.' lol. Spotm is far from heaven. And it's not as if you need to choose between the 2. I'm sure there are plenty of people on spotm that also go on 4chan. And nowhere in the 4chan post was spotm mentioned, so unless I doubt that someone that saw it would figure to get here. |

Dan isn't going to do anything illegal, or something that would harm others. He will probably explain that. And 4chan Is what it is. We can't do anything about it.

¿Am I the only one who is a little disapointed with Dans secret project? ¿do you really believe that it will be so radical that it could change something?
And I seriously hoped that his project would not revolve around him so much, also like a week ago I saw this guy that is doing whatever twitter people are telling him to do.
BTW, ¿do you think that the outcome of this project has to do more with the community that lies behind him or the person that is being controlled?

My post from one of those threads...Just though I'd double post here cuz these threads are in a couple different places.
"Reality Show"...Those were the words I was looking for!
Don't get me wrong, what Dan's doing isn't a BAD thing...But yeah, we were expecting something that would be a solid, direct, and definitive source of GOOD for the world. This is but frivolous entertainment value as far as anyone aside from Dan or his inner-circle entourage is concerned.
I've definitely noticed that as a direct result of the prospect of the secret project, the one and only buzz phrase on the moon has been "Change the world". This doesn't help Pogotribe change the world.
Dan, choose fruitloops for breakfast instead of Cheerios. PDBAZ.
Edit: So I posted earlier that I would stand behind Dan in the project. And I will, cuz it's pretty much just suggestions and voting. Not too difficult, and the end result is entertainment. But the more I think about it, the more I'm dissapointed because we were hoping for something revolutionary. If this was on cable TV, it would be dead after 2 seasons, tops.

I went through a range of emotions after hearing the announcement. First, an "ohhhhhhhh, gotchya" because I had recently watched the documentary he referenced in his speech, Us Now. Then I went down a slight slope of disappointment. Like many other viewers, I was let down by the decrease--not lack of, but decrease--of epicness the project now had. But after thinking about it a while, I think it still has a chance of being, at the very least, a very cool social experiment. Best case scenario, it gets the attention of the media, Youtube, bloggers, and other information outlets. This starts an honest discussion about technology's roll in how our schools/companies/cities/countries/world are/is governed. This is, after all, Dan's main goal. Of course, worst case scenario is nothing works the way it's supposed to and Dan quits after about a month.  |

Ok well first, we aren't deciding what he eats every day. We are suggesting things that would be interesting or fun for him to do. And this project WOULD help change the world. He is expecting this to improve his life greatly so he's trying to show that if some larger organisations like a government would adapt this form of decision making it could improve a whole nation. Now if this project goes smoothley I think Dan 3.0 will go down in history as a role model for other organisations to adapt. I hope that someday people will be amazed when I tell them that I participated in Dan 3.0. |

(I'll be participating too, but I had my hopes up for something that lived up to the hype.) There's only SO MUCH he can do. What if the suggestion of the day is "End world hunger" or "End all wars". He obviously can't do that. I see this project as just fishing for more ideas. It's very limited in terms of potential due to economics and feasibility of any given 'suggestion'. It doesn't give Dan any extended ability to do something he couldn't do on his own anyways. |

This takes some pretty big guts from Dan entrusting his livelihood to strangers. Strangers he can trust, though.  His idea should work though if people give him good ideas. Obviously, he won't go out and commit a crime or anything just cause we vote it up there. Maybe, we can get him to dance around in circles and play a pan flute. It's random and mildly comical. |

So people are disappointed in that it's not revolutionary and world changing, as he said it would? Well... no. It's not of course. Dan said this in his announcement. This is more of a social experiment. He is putting himself out there and letting us use him to test out whether we can trust that 'community' actually... works. And if it does, and if enough people realize, and if the right people hear about this, and if WE help make it happen, and if this succeeds, this could lead to something really really great.

this could lead to something really really great. Like what? People have been saying that for months without having a single freaking clue what "something great" even is. (Sorry, I don't mean to be so pessimistic, but...I'm losing faith in hype.) |

(Sorry, I don't mean to be so pessimistic, but...I'm losing faith in hype.) Something really great as in maybe creating a new way of running the government. That's a bit out of reach, but maybe just maybe. It could just be how a community works together to solve world problems. If this succeeds in how so many people can help run someones life, these people can work together and decide how a...say a charity, can work together. I don't know exactly what yet, because we ALL HAVE NO IDEA what will happen. |

I think the problem is that Dan hyped it up yoo much so we were all expecting more, in the guessing thread on this forum everyone was like "sounds like he is going to make us decide over him for 365 days, but is that really it? because that really isn't as revolutionary as he makes it sound when he talks about it"
so yeah, I think we all was like tricked by all the hints on changing the world etc. but it really COULD change the world, because no one will know where we stand in a year, or what Dan will do!

Sure, something like "End world hunger" or "End all wars" can't be a goal for the day, but perhaps a goal for the entire year, or even half a year? If we make something big like that one of our end goals, we just have to take little steps throughout the course of the year and play our cards right, and then who knows, maybe we'll get there. |
