Giving away money on street corners instead of asking for money
http://www.boulderweekly.com/archive/081006/coverstory.html

Whether he's standing on the street corner practicing "reverse panhandling" or coaching participants at the Burning Man Festival to chant, "I am a fucking genius," Brezsny is engaged in the subversive exercise of creative joy. He calls it "Pronoia" and has devoted 300 pages to describing exactly what Pronoia is and how it can benefit humanity in his most recent book, Pronoia is the Antidote to Paranoia: How the Whole World is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings.
