if you’ve climbed 20 meters up, you get 20-chill-hangout-points for flowing down for one meter’s worth of time. Then 19, for the next one, etc.
This resembles a process I’ve been caught up in recently: independent game developer scenes.
Once a month, we gather and talk about what we’ve been making and what we want to make. We then spend the ensuing month struggling to make something worth talking about at the next meetup (this month, I will talk about character art, worldbuilding, and a card game I want to develop collaboratively with anyone who’s interested). It creates the perfect kind of accountability. Nobody is telling you what to do, but some of them are very interested in it. They don’t have power over you, but they are very cool and you find that youwant to impress them.
It occurs to me now that many people might live their entire lives this way. Excelling in life until they have built up enough self-esteem to show up at the local pub and brag it out (it might be called “celebration”, instead of bragging. the model now seems to be claiming providence of the word “celebrity”. “A Celebrity,” it says, “Is a person who always has something to brag about. So that they are welcome at any party”).
