Tasks / Multilateral Slee[x]perimentation Research Team






You and your fellow researchers have been selected to participate in the prestigious Multilateral Slee[x]perimentation Research Team.
As part of The Drive to build a better Bureaucracy of Desire, your Slee[x]perimentation research task is to poke, prod, and perform experiments on sleeping subjects in order to infiltrate and influence their dreams. As a multilateral task, the research performed as a team should further the goals of sf0.org while reflecting the problems and goals of sf0 group affiliation (Biome, Humanitarian Crisis, etc.) of each individual researcher.
Think of your experiment as the insertion of an external stimulus into a pre-existing, homeostatic, system of desire that has the potential to be infiltrated and controlled. You may use all manner of stimuli (visual, auditory, olfactory, psychical, etc.) to influence the dreams (desires) of your sleeping subjects. The experiments performed should be gentle enough for subjects to remain in a sleeping state, however, provoking subjects to sleep talk or engage in a ‘sleepversation’ with the researchers may prove extraordinarily useful.
To get Score, your team must:
1. Create a rockstar research team consisting of at least one member from each sf0 group (BARTpa, Humanitarian Crisis, etc).
2. Receive consent from your research subjects (bureaucracy).
3. Devise questions and experiments that reflect the problems and goals of each affiliated group (desire).
4. Utilize qualitative and quantitative methods to test the influence of your experiments on the research participants and their dreams (trajectory).
5. Document your process, submit your results, and defend your data (praxis).
May your Drives be the guardians of your Score.

How is it that I just become aware of this task now???
I must have skimmed past it a mizillion times.
Man I must really hate big blocks of text.
mea culpa. i blame my humanities degree. :)
This is really awesome. And it reminds of some tasks involving dreaming that definitely needed to be added to sf0. I'll get right on it.
