People crowdfund just about everything these days: personal artistic pursuits, entrepreneurial ventures, and of course there’s the life-size statue of RoboCop in Detroit that got funded at $67,000. I’m even considering launching a Kickstarter bid for Lasik surgery because I have this mounting paranoia that the apocalypse will come and I won’t be able to find my glasses and I’ll die like Piggy in Lord of the Flies —tormented by loincloth-clad boys and crushed by a boulder. (That or I just won’t be able to see well enough to distinguish my fellow survivors from the mutant geese that will be running what’s left of Oakland.)
