Using the power of money to fund niche research in poverty sticken areas!


Posts: 2876

Hi everyone,

I was considering Emily's discussion about the idea of schools in Africa, and I wanted to expand on this. As you guys may or may not know, I really love business. Whenever I get bored of doing w.e I'm doing, my literally fallback plan is to pace my room looking at my dry erase boards which on them have a list of all our clients, and potential clients, and accounts, and everything relating to the business. So as you can guess, I would like to help the world while still being profitable. 

I really believe it's not that smart to simply donate money to a charity. Simply maintaining a population of Human life while not teching that life how to fish so-to-say is a money sink. And, what's more, is that it's difficult to get the ruling powers of the world which are corporations, and small business to take notice when there is no financial incentive.

This is partially because humans are selfish by nature, but also becasue capitalism is a force which unites humanity, and as a result creates the potential for collaboration and much more can be done. For this reason, it's important that if we want a large portion of humanity to contribute to a cause, we should do our best to provide them with a financial incentive.

So when we consider how to help a poverty stricken community, it is important to primary schools to the children, but also to provide higher levels of education that focus on an area of expertise that will be demanded by the world. This will raise the financial value of that population to the world, and their GDP will rise.

A great example might be.. a large corporation with billions to invest chooses to provide higher education to a poverty stricken populace, and fund research projects that have the potential to make major improvements to problems that face the world. For example, a Nano Tech College.

If we can assume that the college was good enough to create true experts in the field of Nano Technology, and then funded original research which contributes to Humanity, and then introduces ground breaking technologies that contribute to the world, there is no reason a silicon valley of nano technology would not be found developing in the region of this school as investor funding pours in, and students create startups.

Personally, I'd rather grab an AK47 and go on a killing spree in poverty stricken countries. Why waste money on something that's going to die from malnutrition soon anyway.

The less people in the world, the better off this world would be.

The more we support the sick and dying, the more we encourage weakness in humanity.

Call me uncivilized all you want. I don't understand why you would want to support people who are complete strangers to you, when their lives don't affect yours.

well, how can we consider our own lives to have any value if we don't value the lives of others who are just like us?

They are not just like us though. My life is not the same as theirs. My life has a lot more value to me than theirs and why shouldn't it. It's my life.

If people weren't so stupid, the world wouldn't be over-populated or as poverty stricken as it is in some areas.

In the animal kingdom, it's the natural order of things to let the sick die. Humans support the sick and the dying. It's no fucking wonder we have so many weak people in the world.

Hey TK everyone on the planet affects us on some level.

EX: if trolls run around messing up the forum, that "threatens" the free speech for everyone else on here, because of "other people's" behavior

EX: one reason people are afraid to legalize "euthanasia or assisted suicide" is OTHER PEOPLE would abuse it to cover up murder. so the actions of OTHER PEOPLE affect the people who would NOT abuse the freedom but really want to use it for extreme cases of human suffering and consent to die.

EX: the poverty and crime that would be PREVENTED (by teaching communities to be self reliant and sustaining) would also benefit you and me, rich people or poor people, taxpayers or workers etc. by:

(a) cutting the risks of people committing crimes affecting ALL people like YOU or your property/daughter/freedom

(b) cutting the COSTS of prisons and worthless programs "after the fact" that COULD be paying for YOUR WELFARE

so it DOES affect you. the whole world works better if people are CONTRIBUTING, not DETRACTING and wasting resources. the more resources going around, then it's cheaper for YOU to do what YOU WANT. there would be MORE FREEDOM and LESS FEAR, so you could do more of what you want without EXCESS RULES which YOU CANT STAND

Wouldn't it be more beneficial to take a gun and simply shoot them all?

You would save more money by killing people than you would by helping them to support themselves.

Hi Luna: Given where your interests and talents are focused, that makes sense that this level of "technical" education would be your forte. It would be like setting up a university system, networking communities worldwide to share information and resources, and the main department you would develop in every site is the "technology" center.

With me, it may be the creative arts/media section because of my teaching background. With others, it may be the criminal corrections and counseling/recovery programs to train interns through clinics serving the public while earning their education and degrees.

Some university campuses focus on ONE strength, like MIT. Some campuses prefer to diversify and offer wider range.

Because the technology is the KEY to "networking" the resources and people together to BUILD the campus systems, this part is one of the key areas to get it all started. That makes sense for you to focus here.

Maybe the BILL GATES foundation or similar ones would be willing to fund a grant proposal to get you started.

The other key areas I recommend to break through the barriers and obstructions:

(1) legal education - mediation, conflict resolution, knowledge of state federal local and Constitutional laws

any financial monopoly on law has to go before people will be equally empowered to solve their own problems

(2) property business financial management - learning to finance and own/manage/rent property (residential and commercial) and in your case business and university type structures

the poverty/rental mentality between "rich and poor" has to be overcome or there will always be class oppression

most of it is internalized fear within people's minds. and then that is taken advantage of in a society profiting off it

YOU HAVE TO OWN LAND AND PROPERTY TO BE EQUAL TO OTHER WHO DO OWN LAND, PROPERTY, BUSINESSES

(3) knowledge of free and natural healing of mental, physical and even criminal illness

again, breaking the monopoly on health care, prisons, mental health, medications and addictions, and crime related

billions of dollars are wasted on these warehouse industries and corrupt contracts exploiting the problem

NOTE: when this is implemented THROUGH govt, then the people in power keep their jobs and authority so they do not resist change. it would make their jobs EASIER. so it has to be proven to work DIPLOMATICALLY going through the proper channels and giving the govt officials the authority and control (especially when working with China)

(4) the fourth area is the media/technology which you seem to have as your forte and focus

So you use this area to organize the solutions around the other three areas. to end hostile division and oppression,

by accessing knowledge of solutions and model programs PROVEN to correct problems in cost effective ways,

so people/communities become liberated. they can use the same given resources and invest them sustainably.

Not throwing them away, wasting billions "not solving problems", but investing directly into solutions to break the cycle of poverty, of crime and abuse, of govt waste, of corruption.  

OWNERSHIP is the key. and working cooperatively where the people in charge stay in charge and aren't threatened.
