No. 

1. Learn gamification.
2. Discover which skills you can teach to help people on their spiritual journey (focus, meditation, contemplation, visuals, sounds).
3. Do something to gamify this learning experience.
4. Sell.
5. $$$

Building some sort of technology or technique — I don’t know how this would work yet — that enables artists to experience their work as though seeing it for the first time ever. 

This sounds simple, but would actually be incredibly powerful. This technology would make creating amazing art much more doable for anyone willing to put in the work. Not being able to view your work objectively is one of the biggest hindrances for any artist, in my point of view. For other services, feedback works just fine — and as of now this is all we have for art (editors for example in writing, offering an outside perspective). However, I feel for the artist themselves to see their work completely objectively would be much more powerful than external feedback. It would cut out the middleman, decrease the inaccuracies. The upgrade is equivalent to, instead of language, being able to use telepathy to communicate. 

I had the idea when I watched the movie ‘Spirited Away’ two times in a period of ~2 weeks. The second time I watched it, I thought holy fuck this movie is completely different than the first time around. I literally couldn’t experience it in the same way — at all. I wondered how the fuck it must be for the director — or whoever is in charge of the movie. How do they feel after having gone through it potentially hundreds of times? They must be so far disconnected from the objective reality of this movie at that point. 

Reality proves that this is already a problem people have. However, they purely rely on external feedback or on giving them some time between and then having gained space after which they have more objectivity. If you could build a technology that makes this much more effective, it would be so powerful. 

If there’s someone here who has good technical skills and would be interested in developing this technology, I’d actually be down to try! No idea how it’d work yet, but I’m certain that it’s possible. 

What do y’all think of this? 

Leo, I’d also appreciate your feedback on this idea.

At-home book printing?

I want to be able to buy a book, get the file in a new format, and have some printer at home - maybe - that can produce a reasonably decent copy at an affordable price.

Probably a pipe dream for now. And the company would likely go broke pretty quickly
