It is extraordinarily difficult to figure out how to use volunteers. Almost any nonprofit trying to accomplish a skilled-labor task has many more people who want to volunteer their time than they can use. The Foresight Institute has the same problem: People want to donate time instead of money, but it’s really, really hard to use volunteers. If you know a solution to this, by all means share.
I’m surprised by the commenters who cannot conceive of a future life that is more fun than the one they have now—who can’t imagine a future they would want to stick around for. Maybe I should bump the priority of the Fun Theory sequence.
