Eye Jousting
zen sport of mutual skill sharpening and management | |
Eye contact is transactional and technology will be able
to measure it and augment it... a few years down the line.
For now we will content ourselves with the zen sport/
marshal art of eye jousting where players face eachother,
make eye contact, and then after each natural break in
eye contact,
close their eyes and hold out a thumb if the
think they won the joust or a pinky if they think the other
person won. When they open their eyes, if they agree
then both get a point, if they disagree both lose a point.
Game lasts until score is 10.
I think the direction, distance, and speed with which
gazes bounce off eachother is what determines the
transaction vslue of eye contsct, but I sm not sure. This
gsme would be s good wsy to experiment. The close eye
time could last for a long time and be s eay to meditate
on and sharpen the perceptusl skills around
remembering the feeling immefiately succeding eye
bounce-away.
Watch out for this guy....

I'm not going to make any brackets to track the champs. Reason: the pointing system is ripe for collusion and abuse. I see mutually-agreed ties at 10 in which one opponent agrees to lose all rounds. |

so much promise in the title... |

It's a non-competitive game, with both players ending with the same score, 10. If the goal is simply to finish play as soon as possible, after briefly making eye contact, one player clearly throws (avoids eye contact) the first and following 9 rounds, both agreeing on that result. |

Played legitimately and well, a pair of evenly matched players trying to out-stare each other, it's an exercise in honesty, overcoming ego, and consensus forming. But if neither player will admit to losing, each always thumbs-upping, the game will continue 'til they quit or someone collapses, their mutual score dropping into deep negative numbers. |

Sounds like something fit for corporate team-building training sessions - the creepy, uncomfortable kind. |
