Back in high school, after reading Space-Time and Beyond for the umpteenth time and drinking one too many zombies with my friend Henry, we came up with a theory:
In the infinite set of universes, there had to exist a particular universe in which the events in our lives were being watched as a TV show.
We then made a solemn vow to live in a way to keep our ratings up.
This is the continuation of that story.

Not sure what RSS is all about? One of the best explanations I've seen is in this article: How to Explain RSS the Oprah Way.

It might be more, maybe, but I'm too modest and a lot of things I just don't know. (My cholesterol is probably just fine, but because I don't know, I left it open.)
I scored highest on relationships, and lowest on the questions about how messy your house is and such, but that makes sense, because I am never home, and always somewhere where there are lots of people. I just don't care enough about my house.
Personally, I think the quiz is fundamentally flawed and tries to apply one idea to the masses. Life just doesn't work that way. Sure, we could all improve, but to strive for perfection (in the form of a perfect score) is not healthy.
You are probably right, striving for 100 would probably lead to an unhealthy attitude.
But using the items as goals, signs, portents of general "life" health...
could be useful.
Again, money weakest, family strongest.
Trying to "hit 100" with kids in the house would be a pointless exercise in futility.
Still, a list to strive for. especially as some of these points highlight issues that most people would not be aware of day to day, but when they are sorted do lead to a less stressful life.
But assuming you can clear all debts and put away 6months running costs in 18 months is optimistic in the extreme.
Yea, it's a good starting point, but far from complete. The goals are fine on a personal level, but they don't really contribute to the greater good. It's kind of a 'me me me' thing.
