Disintermediate the Submit Proof Button by Meta tron

June 20th, 2007 3:23 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Complete a task as usual. Do not submit proof of your completion on the website. Instead, mail your proof to another player who you do not know.

I choose INsane-ator P00n, I do not know her/him apart from reading one or two of their tasks. I hope he (?) won't mind my intrusion!

I chose the task What is futility? and I figured it would be rude to send someone, especially a stranger, something done half arsed, so I took some photos of something futile.
__________________________________________________________________________

Dear INsane-ator P00n,

hello, we haven't really crossed paths, my name is Meta or Mink - not sure which really, but it definitely begins with an M - please find below my proof for the task what is futility?. I thought you might like to read it and sent it to you as part of Disintermediate The Submit Proof Button.

I hope you don't mind and I would be very interested to hear your comments.

yours,

M x

What is futility?



fu·til·i·ty (fyōō-tĭl'ĭ-tē) Pronunciation Key
n. pl. fu·til·i·ties

1. The quality of having no useful result; uselessness.
2. Lack of importance or purpose; frivolousness.
3. A futile act.

e.g. The water cycle is futile. Both in its nature and it's application.

APPLICATION: It is mandatory for all school children to learn, not once, but three times about the water cycle in school; the latter actions cementing the frivolity of learning about it the first time.
The knowledge of how water gets where it is going is never used by anyone, thus making the attainment of said knowledge a futile act.


NATURE: The water cycle is the path that is taken by water to travel around the planet just in order to get back to where it started in the first place.

DISCLAIMER: The water I drank will be used by my body to create chemical reaction that will fuel my current actions. My current action is writing up the proof for this task.

The energy spent on highlighting this fact was spent on an action that has no use, as the proof is not going towards the task to which it pertains, it is useless (and even if it did submit it, it would get flagged).

I feel like this is a triple shot, I like it. Its this task, a creative way to do What is Futility?, and A Picture's Worth A Thousand Words all rolled into one

agreed

It would seem that kinda gross is the theme for 'what is futlity?', by the way, I was wondering - is your entry a self portrait?
