Creativity Wasted episodes

  • Emotional Strength Bully Defense Training (Nick Pizzuti)
    Idea: Emotional strength training to cope with bullying, and also teaching and practicing tactics for responding to bullying, such as responding with humorous insults. Also: we awkwardly and reluctantly "bully" Nick so he can demonstrate how he would respond; an emotionally-charged debate on how society should deal with bullying Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 48 Nick Pizzuti (facebook.com/nick.pizzuti.73) Kyle Forsyth (twitter.com/IAmKyleForsyth) Ashley Stommen (instagram.com/ashleystommen) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

  • Social Toy Drones (Tom Walma)

    Idea (NSFW, dark humor): Flying a toy drone with a videocamera on it is like playing a videogame where nothing fun happens. A videodrone would be much funner if it had a speaker and a screen to show your face, that way you could do social things with real people and other videodrones. Examples include games like hide-and-seek, guided sky tours, drone charging "forts", kids using the drones to play together outside when their parents make them stay inside, playing with animals using apps that make animal noises, etc. Also: controlling a drone with your mind so that you feel like an actual bird Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 47 Kevin Smith (Podcast: Crass&Heartless soundcloud.com/user-66991264) Josh Harmon (twitter.com/harmonjoshua01) Tim Hill (twitter.com/TimHill007) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

  • Island For Criminals (Tim Hill)

    Idea (NSFW, dark humor): An island to send criminals for the rest of their life where they'll be left alone to fend for themselves. Also: cannibalism would be common because modern criminals don't know how to fish; weapons companies could airdrop weapons onto the island and sponsor livestream videos of criminals using the weapons; volunteers could enter the island to commit revenge on a criminal but then would not be allowed to leave Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 47 Kevin Smith (Podcast: Crass&Heartless soundcloud.com/user-66991264) Josh Harmon (twitter.com/harmonjoshua01) Tim Hill (twitter.com/TimHill007) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

  • Consent Detector Implantable Device (Kevin Smith)

    Idea (NSFW, dark humor): A sci-fi device implanted in women which detects the intense fear and emotions of sexual assault and automatically alerts the authorities. Or a sci-fi device implanted in men which incapacitates them if they attempts sexual assault, thus making sexual assault impossible. Also: questioning whether it would be falsely triggered by nightmares or scary movies; questioning whether whistles stop crime; a female perspective Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 47 Kevin Smith (Podcast: Crass&Heartless soundcloud.com/user-66991264) Josh Harmon (twitter.com/harmonjoshua01) Tim Hill (twitter.com/TimHill007) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

  • Kale for the Homeless (Matti Yaari)
    Inspired by a standup comedy premise that kale tastes so bad that hungry/homeless people wouldn't take it, the idea is a charity that gives raw kale (and only kale) to the homeless. It'd supply nutrients that the homeless don't get from handouts on the street (snacks, fast food, food from street vendors), assuming that we can convince the homeless to actually eat it. Also: questioning whether it would be charity or torture; the homeless could pad their coats with the kale or burn it for warmth; homeless people struggling to eat kale without gagging might inspire sympathy from passers-by who might therefore give more donations; could we teach the homeless in the US to grow their own food in community gardens like the homeless do in Vietnam Joel Fragomeni (Podcast: https://joelradio.net) Sai-D (twitter.com/saidee27) Matti Yaari (facebook.com/myaari) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

  • Cam Dogs (Joel Fragomeni)
    Idea: A web site where you can interact with a real dog virtually via a webcam, and also control robotics to feed the dog, pet the dog, and play with the dog (such as by throwing a ball). Possible customers include lonely elderly people, people in hospitals, people who are allergic to dogs or live in places where dogs aren't allowed, people in public (traveling or at work or school) who need to relax, etc. Also: emotionally blackmailing customers with pictures of sad dogs if they stop using the service; using footage of the dog in a "Black Mirror"-like scenario to create a robot with the same personality as the dog; themes or scenarios, such as a Scooby-Doo robotic ghost adventure Joel Fragomeni (Podcast: https://joelradio.net) Sai-D (twitter.com/saidee27) Matti Yaari (facebook.com/myaari) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

  • ELECTION BONUS IDEA Everybody Runs For President (Tom Walma)
    Idea: A giant tournament bracket in which everybody in the US runs for president. Each contest in the bracket consists of 8 candidates, and the winner among the 8 candidates advances to the next round. Each voter only votes for one 8-person contest per round. There are 10 rounds in total, and in the final round, everyone votes to determine who of the 8 final candidates becomes president. Also: horrible candidates like Mike Bloomberg might spend a million dollars per voter and still lose in the first round; if more democracy is better democracy, this has to be the best approach Joel Fragomeni (Podcast: https://joelradio.net) Sai-D (twitter.com/saidee27) Matti Yaari (facebook.com/myaari) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

  • Socialburn Foldable Phone (Tom Walma)
    Idea: A device which looks like a smart phone but only contains WiFi for talking directly with your friends' socialburn devices. It is used for slow but secure social networking which can never reach the Internet. Messages and posts bounce from friend to friend when friends are in the same room with each other, eventually reaching all of your friends or a specific friend who is the target of the message. It can also physically attach to a normal smart phone and act as an extended screen for the normal phone, kind of like the recent fad of "foldable phones" which have a foldable screen and thus fold open to have a large screen like a tablet.

  • Plan A Party In Paradise (Tom Walma)
    Vacations get boring after a while because they're purely a consumption of experiences. They lack the social satisfaction of helping people or giving joy to people. An idea to help vacationers give joy to other people (and therefore be less bored) is for resorts to organize an activity where vacationers help throw parties for other vacationers. Also: "Airbnb Experiences", why RPG videogames are more well-rounded experiences than real-life vacations Gimmy Cipriano (YouTube: ABitTooMuch https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk8ueoJ9U1PyJYf3W5Kfhmg) Kara Coraci (twitter.com/KaraCoraci https://www.crotchie.com) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

  • Historical Concept Societies (Tom Walma)

    Idea: To create societies of 100,000+ people who loosely live the lifestyle of a historical era (but with flushing toilets), including both the popular culture and the technology of the era. That way, they can make money on tourism, and if a huge global disaster occurs, and we lose all electricity or all computers or something, we have a large supply of people who know how to do stuff using older technology, who can instantly step in to help the rest of the world and prevent mass starvation. Also: the need for more physical leisure activities; as tech advances, there'll be a need for more and more societies based on different levels of technology, which will create more and more jobs Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 46 David Shank (twitter.com/broken_knuckle_ twitter.com/SDWSU) Jason Spitsbergen (twitter.com/JSpitsbergen) Josh Bowab Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)
