Dice Your Way to Multiple Futures
-
Experiential exploration of multiplicity (plurality) in personality &
behavior - experiment with your life & mind!
-
A matrix-esque personal development exercise which engages participants
with the power of the future's multiple possibilities.
-
All you need to do is:
- read the classic, cult novel, "The Dice Man",
- get a set of dice,
- make up lists of possible decisions, and
- start experimenting.
-
 The
golden rule is that the dice must be obeyed; however, you still have
ultimate control, because you decide when to roll and what options go
into the lists. By playing dice, you introduce random selection
with a field of possible actions which are of interest to you.
- Its also a good idea, to keep a dice diary, reflecting on your
decisions and what you learn about yourself and life through playing
dice.
- If you want a little more guidance on dice theory and how dice
decision making can be used, also read "The Book of the Die: A Handbook
of Dice Living".
-
Its worth investing in a set of dice which inspire you and you feel good
about - after all, you're inviting the dice to decide your fate...
