I have ideas for crazy things. Here are some:

Make a Wikipedia for code. Not a wikipedia about code, but a Wikipedia where the pages are the code. No references to outside tools/libraries, all the functions are either in the base language or references to other wikipedia-of-code pages. The pages are presented in a literate programming style.

Bring back the Inferno OS, but replace the original VM (Dis) with the Microsoft CLR.

Make a P2P publishing system for scientific publications. Let the contributing scientists have individual accounts, and manage reputations with a blockchain reputation system. Let people also donate their CPU cycles to scientific computations through this system. Require publications to store their data in a database format that your system's client can query and process with some programming language. Require all data tables, and results that appear in the publication's text be expressed as functions performed on data queried from the database (or potentially databases from other publications.)
