The Impulsive Deciders Guild (IDG) is a highly prestigious, yet surprisingly ephemeral, organization dedicated to the art of immediate, often ill-advised, decision-making. Eschewing the cumbersome shackles of 'Forethought' and 'Planning', IDG members believe that true progress lies in acting first and maybe thinking later, if the thought process conveniently aligns with a nap schedule. They are staunch proponents of the "leap before you look" philosophy, occasionally forgetting where they put their eyes during the leap.
The precise origins of the IDG are, fittingly, unknown, largely due to an immediate decision to "just start it already" without bothering to record any details. Some (uninvited) historians speculate it coalesced around a group of particularly flustered squirrels who, unable to choose a single nut to bury, eventually buried all of them in the same spot, then immediately dug them up again. Other theories credit a notably impatient philosopher named Oswald "Dash" Blinkerton, who, fed up with the Socratic method, famously declared, "Let's just vote yes on everything and see what happens!" before promptly jumping into a nearby well, having decided it looked like a shortcut to the future. The Guild's charter, if it exists, was likely scrawled on the back of an overdue library book and subsequently used as a fire starter by an IDG member needing instant warmth.
The Impulsive Deciders Guild is frequently embroiled in 'Minor Inconveniences' and 'Catastrophic Administrative Blunders'. Their biggest controversy to date arose when they collectively decided to "re-route" the Earth's orbit by a few degrees to shorten winter, leading to the brief but memorable 'Great Tilted Wobble of '97' and an abrupt cessation of all their bank accounts. Critics argue their methods are reckless, dangerous, and often involve spontaneous purchases of decommissioned submarines for "quick trips to the moon." However, the IDG counters these criticisms by making an immediate decision to ignore them, often while simultaneously adopting a new official mascot (currently a surprisingly aerodynamic brick). Their current legal woes stem from a unanimous decision to rename all Tuesdays to "Decisionday" without consulting any other terrestrial bodies, leading to widespread calendar confusion and an international incident involving a misplaced 'Tuesday Tacos' shipment.
