Blue pill. I'm young enough (37) that I'd lose far more than I'd gain if I chose Red. The knowledge I currently possess can change the world with 10 million.

In what way can it change the world? For you? Or do you mean for everyone? It feels like 10 Million is not enough to make changes on a global scale

Everyone. I'm writing a book to explain but I've come up with a problem solving framework that can solve any clearly defined problem using a combination of strategies and theories from a wide variety of different subject areas. But I'm still in the process of articulating it. Original idea is only 2 months old at this point, so I still need more time to tinker and experiment with it.

The reason 10 million would be helpful is that it would simply enable me to quit my job and focus entirely on my long term plan.

Make a deck and pitch Valley VCs.

What's a deck? Does that mean a presentation? I'm not really interested in selling the idea, I think it's too important to risk just becoming another money hoarding trick for some soulless corporation to just keep for their own ends.

If anything it's going to get published open source. It doesn't belong to me, it belongs to everyone.

So start an open source project and attract the collaboration that you would have bought with the 10 million.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I will. It still needs more preliminary work though. All I have is a rough outline that's sufficient for me to verbally walk someone through it in 2.5 hours. Nowhere near ready for people to be able to read it and know what I'm talking about. If anything it looks like gibberish right now, or it looks like I'm a crackpot. But so far I'm comforted by the fact that everyone I've explained it to thinks I'm on to something. I'm happy with the progress rate though, I'm only 2 months in, and juggling a lot in life right now.

Let me just strap on my VC helmet and climb in my VC cannon and fire into the VC land where VCs grow on VC trees!
