I don't do religion, but you have a good point. Please allow me to add to it.

I see many promising ideas go to the grave with their inventor, due to the (wo)man trying to do it all by themselves. Invent, make prototype, refine, market, produce, etc. few humans ever walked the eart born with all talents required for this complete chain.
Some ideas die int he inventor's fear or hatred for "them".

Inventors should, rathar than a glorious ego trip, consider it their task to use their genius or spark for acutal human advancement. Their job is not just to create that spark, or even to make a working prototype, it is to get the technology out there, recognized. If a inventor doesn't get the response from chosen parties, then maybe someone with better PR skills should be allowed to take over. the guy selling you a car at the dealership has other talents than the guy who designed the car, let alone the one who fabricated it. And, for the better. I wouldn't want any of them to swap responsibilities.
The FE inventor though, seeks to do it all. An egotrip in many cases, it seems. I sense that from the way inventions or ideas are so closely toed to a name.

Co-operation will be key to get anything out there. 100 genius lab rats still can't design 1 nice product name, or an efficeint production method.
We should all look in that mirror, and be honest about the roles we can play.
To take the lead in this, I see myself as a conceptual inventor. I apply existing technolgy to ideas where the optimum situtation has not been reached yet. I've proven this, in part to the world, but mostly to myself. I'm probably better though at overseeing the whole process from spark to mainstream acceptance. Identifying steps required, potential partners, new applications, things that bring the sub-cause closed to contributing to the main cause.

Crazy inventors and tinkerers who are able to find the most promising lab anomalies should team up with researchers and "suits" that share the same goal, but have other talents to bring to the table.
Slick websites, cool stickers, low-entry educational workbooks, if you get it all right, together, the results will be multifold.

At some stage someone will need to draw his/her wallet to make things happen. This person should not have too much influence on the process, but should be allowed to take a good chunk of the credit.

If someone is up for it, perhaps we should write a business plan for an OU project, to descibe steps to be taken, how to recruit fellow minded people who will contribute their time and energy to make it all better. when each has its own responsibility, the team will work hard, and make big progress.

And inventor alone in not a threat to society as we know it. An overunity.com dream team would be a force to be reckoned with. If you are not afraid to put yourself out there (me, I've got nothing to lose, MIB can come and shoot me, fine), and work together, meaning to do good, who can stop you?

Panacea and GEET are being managed very nicely I notice. Things get done, and made easy for replicators.
What I'm looking for though, is the next step.

To beat the corporations and politics, you'll need to operate as a company. Take ego's and personal gain out of the equasion, and you've got the killing power of an army of ninja's.

Who's with me?

Hi Tito.

Welcome to the forum even though you've been here a while.

they don't know that everything that they need to know is in the book, in fact those that read the book don't know the answer they seek is in the book.

but their jaws will drop when the answer was right here all along.

just some teasers.

Tito at first I had the same question as you. But being involved for more than a year in this community I got a bit wiser.

I learned it's not about the lack of sharing ideas. In fact there's an overflow of freely shared very promising looking ideas. The problem is the lack of support people are getting.

I have helped numerous people spread their ideas, improve on them or help with the visualization of them so that more attention could be got. But one after the other has dimmed down and withered away. Because people who do have the skills to create some of the builds are just not interested, either by skepticism or ignorance.

People in these communities don't compliment each other one bit. If someone has skill A and someone else has skill B, why not work together to combine skill A and B? Instead people are forced to acquire all the necessary skills themselves and waste a huge amount of time and money. This isn't open source collaboration one bit. People only help someone for their self interest. This will lead us back to the capitalistic system this whole corrupt world is based on.

How can we make a change if our attitudes don't change?

In the meantime I will keep on helping as much people as I can.
