A German university has announced a "useless fund" for an experiment that will pay three people $ 1,900 for doing nothing.
The money is being provided under a research project launched by the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg. After receiving the money, the volunteers will have to 'become inactive'. But the terms are also very interesting.
The university said that the participants in the competition will have full choice to choose their useless method but the experts of the university will choose the best of them.
"It's very easy to do nothing and sit idle," said Frederick van Boris, head of the program. But we want to know active inactivity. That is to say, it is good if you say that you will remain silent for a week, but it is even better if you say that you will not move or think for a week.
In addition, it is left to the petitioner how long he wants to remain idle.
If you say you will not sleep at all, it is only possible for a few days. But if you claim that you will not make a purchase, the duration of this work may be longer. Therefore, details of redundancy have been sought from each individual in the form of a draft.
But the university stipulates that you will receive this amount when you submit a detailed report of your experiences by mid-January next year. Whether you succeed or fail, you will definitely get paid. Then your experiences will be presented in the form of an exhibition.
Experts say this is not a waste of time but a serious experience.
