Won't stand up in court. You can't just put anything into a contract and expect it to stand up. You can't bind yourself into slavery (which that is kind of close to) or break the law, or force all sorts of conditions on the other party.

I don't know that it's that clear cut - trying to enforce a provision like that would almost certainly be seen as unreasonable, but unless there is some specific law forbidding it in your jurisdiction you'd probably need to ask a court if it conflicts with broader employment law rules to the level that a court would nullify it. Getting an answer to that question is likely to be very expensive, even if you are right.

It's definitely a risky strategy to just say "try me", I guess it depends what it's all over. I doubt that lawyers would even want to pursue it, after maybe a few letters.
