I tasked this week’s mission over at TKR that closed earlier this evening.
Tasker Instructions: Relax and let yourself describe whatever you feel about this target.
All work is in a doubleblind in TKR. I considered whether to have that instruction, but decided it really didn’t give away anything at all about even the nature of the target, only encouraged viewers to go with their less physical-fact feelings which is hard for some, so I thought encouragement was in order.
Tasker Directive & Feedback was: Describe the experience of a human woman giving birth to a baby. Describe it from a first-person (personal) perspective if possible.
Additional tasker notes at feedback were: You are welcome to seek out verbal, written or visual information about this experience as additional feedback. I put that in because some people really like specific feedback and I figured that way if they wanted to hunt some down they could.
I really loved how this went — loved the sessions. From fairly objective descriptions of some of the biological detail, to emotional and other details in there. It was an archetypal tasking, so there is no ’specific’ feedback aside from what is common to nearly all women having babies, but there’s enough to think that the viewers did a really fab job. Some info is funny even (one viewer was downright grossed out by something slimy inside a body), and some is really rather touching… some is intriguing, as well.
I wondered how the men would do. One seemed to get symbolic data, one seemed to objectify it a little bit, and the other was neck-deep in target contact — they all did well in different ways. The sessions are at TKR at the Dojo Psi — http://www.dojopsi.com/tkr/index.cfm?M=1 gets you right to the missions page.
