Inventors can begin logging on for the chat at 1:30 PM. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;P&gt;The independent inventor on-line chat is part of the USPTO's continuing efforts to promote and protect America's independent inventors.  This effort includes educating inventor-entrepreneurs about the risks of working with invention development companies. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;DIV class="clear"&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;br /&gt;		&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="height: 2px;

This illusion is at the fundamental level of realizing oneness.  There are NO OPPOISITES.  The meaning of opposite only exists within the speaking and the agreements between people.  We all agree that opposite means…opposite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To prismatically see this, the next level is all about humans being powerful enough to choose which side you let out more than the other.  I choose to let light out.  I choose to let love out.  That's still doesn't mean that I don't have negative thoughts.  That's doesn't mean that I don't get mad.  However, what this does mean is that I get over my madness and negative thoughts MUCH quicker! It also means that I choose to make the positive, light and love thoughts more powerful than the self-destructive thoughts.  These self-destructive thoughts lead to the downfall of humanity as we know it.  The “opposite” of that, if we harbor good thoughts toward ourselves and others, we will raise the awareness of our mind/body/spirit mix.  Altruistic Ventures and its partners aim to raise the consciousness of the entire world.  We will go this as a gift to the world.

So here are a few monumental questions to ponder. It’s about the revolution that’s happening RIGHT NOW…the cognitive evolution. People are “waking up.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as LazyWeb is successful through a kind of Open Source, I'm starting an Open Source Inventing site that will use some of the same OS theories. Now, Open Source doesn't work if it's only me and a few friends. We need to get the word out FAST. Like, to the entire planet. How many of you are coders? How many of you know how to create discussion groups, chat rooms? Where can I place links that will be highly visible? Can you contribute your expertise and experience? This is where I would love to have help!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we work together, we can create the world be an easier place to live and invent in. I’d like to get people talking so quick it makes heads spin in the invention industry! The website &lt;a href="http://www.opensourceinvent.com/"&gt;http://www.opensourceinvent.com/&lt;/a&gt; is being designed as we speak, so all we need to create is an online buzz. If you want to contribute your wisdom to the website, please let me know. Obviously we are open to it, and we need it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please comment here at &lt;a href="http://www.avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://www.avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~ Live ~ Love ~ Invent ~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martin McCrea&lt;br /&gt;Altruistic Ventures&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11173756-111997152916804381?l=avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com/feeds/111997152916804381/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11173756&amp;postID=111997152916804381&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11173756/posts/default/111997152916804381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11173756/posts/default/111997152916804381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com/2005/06/for-lazyweborg.html' title='For LazyWeb.org'/><author><name>Altruistic Ventures</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15979974141860080470</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_Fi45SOLKkC0/R-C-YlGaMbI/AAAAAAAAACY/3UaMsAWyy1M/S220/Me4Lifeboat.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11173756.post-111888572808718546</id><published>2005-06-15T20:26:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-06-17T08:24:30.113-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Proof</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;Open Sourcing in the invention industry already exists in many forms, this is one of them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.whynot.net/new_user"&gt;http://www.whynot.net/new_user&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As we add the Prismatic Views and the Activation Arena for the inventor and &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the idea, we will cause a MENTAL SHIFT that can free our mind from the &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;constraints and illusions that we inadvertently built into our reality.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;If it is proven where sarcasm is in the brain, &lt;a href="http://www.healthcentral.com/newsdetail/408/525874.html"&gt;http://www.healthcentral.com/newsdetail/408/525874.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and it is proven how and why we develop trust, &lt;a href="http://www.forbes.com/sciencesandmedicine/2005/03/31/cx_mh_0331brain.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.forbes.com/sciencesandmedicine/2005/03/31/cx_mh_0331brain.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and mothers nationwide can invent,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6496119/"&gt;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6496119/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and if the degrees of separation have been proven,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn4037"&gt;http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn4037&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we all can unite in Open Source Invention.

All of you...even the ones that I don't agree with.  You ALL are crucial for me to learn, for you to learn, and for the world to learn.  So, thank you.  Seeing your individual perspective in life is what life is all about.  Bringing those differing perspectives together to uncover a common perspective is what the prismatic view is all about.  Seeing prismatically is simply seeing everything as one, all at once and in its separateness, it’s expanding your mental attention.  The ultimate aim for seeing the world this way is to have no prejudice, pre-conceived notions, or judgment.  However we are all human, so these thoughts are inevitable.  (As I just demonstrated…thank you anonymous!) But the whole purpose of the prismatic view is to know that we have these kinds of thoughts and to consciously know and feel when we are having these thoughts.  Then we can make the choice to suspend judgment.  It is tough at first, but it is worth it.  So as a result of challenging our mind, it grows stronger, more activated, more tolerant of others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is why I appreciate all of your points of view.  I may not agree with them but I will not judge you for them.  The opinions in this conversation so far are in both directions.  Leading toward unity and leading toward separateness.  Some would say both directions equals bad and good.  What there is to get is that bad and good are still judgments.  So they are something made up in our minds.  They are only a perspective.  Perspectives are not static, they are very dynamic.  One persons bad may be another’s good.  Good and evil are illusions.  Prismatic Sight is only one way humans are able to see through the illusions that we built into ourselves.  We can see the truth....there is no spoon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So read through this site, read the comments, listen to my voice.  Tell me what you think.  This site is not for me, this site is for you and me.  The site is short for now so it won't take up too much of your time if you wanted to read it all.  However please know that if you do read this and think about this and post comments, you are a trailblazer.  You are acting as a catalyst to this type of conversation happening on a worldwide scale.  YOU are going to help start this.  This conversation will grow to be huge.  This conversation will grow to be world wide; and you have a part of it.  It exists because of YOU!  Is’t that exciting!!!! All people that are alive at this exact moment in time has a part in this evolution of the mind, the past also has a part of it.  All of the people who are not on this earth anymore have a part of it.  The kids that have yet to be born have a part of it.  I hope you can start to see that I am just like you.  We are all one.  I don't know all the answers, I'm good at asking questions and seeking answers that benefit human beings to become love inspired in everyday practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                Read well, listen to your heart, question often, then...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                             ~ Live ~ Love ~ Invent ~ Create ~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                                          create this together&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11173756-111884684514632425?l=avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com/feeds/111884684514632425/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11173756&amp;postID=111884684514632425&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11173756/posts/default/111884684514632425'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11173756/posts/default/111884684514632425'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com/2005/06/thanks-to-all.html' title='Thanks to all'/><author><name>Altruistic Ventures</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15979974141860080470</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_Fi45SOLKkC0/R-C-YlGaMbI/AAAAAAAAACY/3UaMsAWyy1M/S220/Me4Lifeboat.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11173756.post-111817369904823307</id><published>2005-06-07T14:37:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-06-07T15:33:07.280-05:00</updated><title type='text'>What is occuring</title><content type='html'>Hi. I just wanted to leave a quick post to let you know that the culmination of the resources to build a better invention model is coming together nicely. With your help, we will be a worldwide network of inventors that are tired of how things are now. We ALL can choose to be or not to be involved in building a better system. One that is not built on control…one that is not built on fear and greed, and prejudice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are building the next generation of invention, and we are doing it TOGETHER. It's based on the actual mental process of what inventing and discovery actually "are". This new vision of invention is incorporating aspects of synergy, discovery, cooperation, unity, love, and thought-evolving processes. Just wanted ya to know....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11173756-111817369904823307?l=avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com/feeds/111817369904823307/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11173756&amp;postID=111817369904823307&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11173756/posts/default/111817369904823307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11173756/posts/default/111817369904823307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com/2005/06/what-is-occuring.html' title='What is occuring'/><author><name>Altruistic Ventures</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15979974141860080470</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_Fi45SOLKkC0/R-C-YlGaMbI/AAAAAAAAACY/3UaMsAWyy1M/S220/Me4Lifeboat.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11173756.post-111585614829833761</id><published>2005-05-11T12:00:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-06-15T16:25:45.473-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Read the comments section on the post below for background on this post</title><content type='html'>Hello again anonymous, Do you see how your algorithm would change the world? Does it change a current system of operating? Can you see how the universe can work more properly after you gift it to the world? Do you see what kind of ripple in the pond that your “pebble” would make? Is it a pebble or a boulder sized idea? Both of those cause weaves in time and waves in the pond don’t they?! They do. The thing that I see is how ideas - if shared freely and profited upon together - can wake our minds up to better relate to where our human culture is destined to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Together we all get to invent new ways TO SURVIVE THE UNWISE WORLD while helping to create the unwise world…to be wise, sustainable, and alive!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love the concept of applying open sourcing to many things also, the Altruistic Ventures vision model introduces other peoples’ input and mental energy (ideas, wants, should exists, possibilities, etc.) into a system built on sharing, workability, cooperation, love, discovery, and so many other aspects of the most advanced and creative parts of our mind and being. Which is better love or hatred? Both are real. Neither is better or worse. They both just are what they are. NOW KNOWING THAT, (with no judgment) let’s choose. Love or hate. Good or evil. Looking at the moon or going to the moon. Love is preferred. Hatred is what we have become. WE HAVE BEEN MENTALLY LAZY. LETHARGIC, we have let our brain atrophy a little. WE HAVE THE POWER TO CHOOSE HOW OUR WORLD IS!!!!!!! It is a basic human function to think. I’d even go so far as to say it’s a right. Ideas should not be feared. How do YOU see your algorithm fitting into the mental evolution that is occurring RIGHT NOW? The purpose of Open Sourced Invention is to wake up the mentality of human beings so we look in awe at our current state of devolved thinking. I say this because once we see – as a species - what we have become, we will have the power to choose how we think. We will no longer see ourselves as reacting to our world and our environment, we will create our environment. Spontaneous evolutions of mind are possible. Snap wisdom. We The People are products of the human culture; everyone is, no matter where you live. This new evolution is so powerful that hatred will lay to the wayside of curiosity. This is a feeling. A knowing of belonging. It’s a physical sensation of KNOWING something, that you feel like you've always known, but never seen or experienced. A connection with ALL OF THE PEOPLE that have ever lived and touched the same ocean, ALL OF THE PEOPLE that have yet to live will touch the same ocean as you and I did, and as others in the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THAT IS UNLESS WE “&lt;em&gt;accidentally&lt;/em&gt;” DESTROY OUR PLANET BY CONTUINING TO LIVE IN A WORLD THAT IS A PRODUCT OF OUR HUMAN MENTALITY LEVEL. WAKE UP PEOPLE OF EARTH. WE ARE ALL SMARTER THAN THIS! THERE IS A REVOLUTION OF MIND HAPPENING. COME PLAY IN IT with us AND HELP TO SHAPE IT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all that said, I’d like to thank you anonymous, for without your judgment and calling me an idiot, we would have never continued (or started) this conversation for everyone to read. This is idea exchange. Welcome to the prismatic view of life. It’s simple isn’t it!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11173756-111585614829833761?l=avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com/feeds/111585614829833761/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11173756&amp;postID=111585614829833761&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11173756/posts/default/111585614829833761'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11173756/posts/default/111585614829833761'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com/2005/05/read-comments-section-on-post-below.html' title='Read the comments section on the post below for background on this post'/><author><name>Altruistic Ventures</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15979974141860080470</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_Fi45SOLKkC0/R-C-YlGaMbI/AAAAAAAAACY/3UaMsAWyy1M/S220/Me4Lifeboat.JPG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11173756.post-111038565843804392</id><published>2005-03-09T10:24:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2005-04-28T09:14:08.820-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Open Source Inventing</title><content type='html'>Have you heard about open source code?  What could open sourcing look like combined with invention?  What kind of lasting positive effects could that have on people? Good questions that would have some fascinating answers I think.  There are Open Sourced Inventing models that exist today! However, only a few of them and they only share, they do not activate.  Which is not bad by any means, these are the first steps.  I'm theorizing a global access to the open sourced technology, a wide reaching company that has the potential to positively affect the entire planet. We all think. We all are alive. We all are one on the very primal levels. What would a complete partnership between random people create in the marketplace? Sharing ideas with no fear. We would have partnerships that are built by experiences like random trust and humanistic synergy. These are the questions that drive me to create everyday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answers to these questions are at the heart of this evolution and betterment of the invention industry, (and thus; the world). Let me be clear, this theory is not mine.  It belongs to human being in general.  It has always been there, we just have not seen it before.  This transformation has been going on for 20-30 years.   All I’m helping to do is put the puzzle together, one piece at a time.  This Business Model is just my contribution to what is already occurring.  You want to see HUGE market disruption....keep watching Altruistic Ventures. Support Altruistic Ventures. Invest in Altruistic Ventures.

It took me a while to see the bigger picture and expand my mental attention. You might have had this feeling also. I hope you have, because it’s amazing.  The way my mind works, I try to prove or quantify or figure things out.  The method in which ideas and inventions reach the world is about to change. WE are the catalysts for that transformation. The world needs your voice because language invents the future. I request your assistance in the genesis of a conversation of the evolution of invention. (Thus evolving our brain and it's capacity!)  The purpose of this blog is just to let you know of my opinion.  I’m not saying I know the Truth, I don’t think anyone does.  I’m just theorizing, I’m letting my brain just wonder….then posting it online.  We are all one, which is a simple and undeniable fact. We just see the world through different filters, different experiences, and different methods of control. One thing is constant; we all were born and we all will die. There is no escaping the trials and tribulations of being alive. No matter how much money you have you can still get sick. No matter how strong you are, if you get hit by a train, you still will probably die. The constraint of the human mind is that we are trying to find meaning in our daily lives.  It’s a paradox to which we have the answer within our grasp.  It's harder to find meaning without the ability to mentally detach from ourselves (ego) or our so called "realty" (physical world) to see ourselves beside ourselves.  Did you get that?  We cannot remember our ability to detach without connection to others. That is the paradox. What the architects deems reality is that we all hate each other and they control us with fear. So the results are no communication between people and domination by a single global power.  I AM NOT AFRAID! Let my confidence in creating a thinking shift be your confidence. There will be a time when I need you to stand for me also. This is a mental evolution that we all are a part of because we are alive at this moment in time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only those who are able to relax can create.&lt;br /&gt;Then ideas reach the mind like lightning.&lt;br /&gt;~ Cicero&lt;br /&gt;~ Live ~ Love ~ Create ~&lt;br /&gt;Marty &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11173756-110986128528935206?l=avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com/feeds/110986128528935206/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11173756&amp;postID=110986128528935206&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11173756/posts/default/110986128528935206'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11173756/posts/default/110986128528935206'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com/2005/03/we-are-living-in-paradox.html' title='we are living in a paradox...'/><author><name>Altruistic Ventures</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15979974141860080470</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_Fi45SOLKkC0/R-C-YlGaMbI/AAAAAAAAACY/3UaMsAWyy1M/S220/Me4Lifeboat.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11173756.post-110972987973172868</id><published>2005-03-01T20:15:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2005-04-28T08:51:30.180-05:00</updated><title type='text'>What I've Been Thinking About</title><content type='html'>I've put up a few audio posts about the Altruistic Ventures Business Model.

I am a stand for the convergence of ethics and invention. There is fear present in the realm of sharing intellectual property. Hopefully what will come out of this conversation is that the people involved will come to realize that fear is an illusion and we don't need to be afraid of sharing our ideas if there is a solid base of ethics and connectivity present. This project will be based upon sharing ideas and by virtue of sharing we will create connection and inventive synergy. We will be creating a free-flow workshop of ideas and solutions to existing problems, then connecting to the people and organizations that can help make the ideas happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;What is so right now about inventors?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inventors are so independent and fragmented. There are groups that succeed in building a community of inventors; however most of them are educational in nature. There is no activation of the inventor and of their idea. Most people are afraid to share their idea with others and most people that have an idea are mentally beaten down by our society, the existing paradigm of inventing, or even themselves into believing that inventing is too hard, and downright impossible. Human beings have been classically conditioned negatively through out history .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;What is the predictable future in this area if no action is taken?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inventors will continue to struggle and be in a mental state of dis-ease about their idea and that spills over into their everyday lives. Inventors will continue to get taken advantage of by greedy invention promotion firms. The possibility for an evolutionary standard of inventing affecting the entire industry will be traded for the comfortable, the common, and what is considered “normal.” Millions of people and billions of dollars will be misused, misrepresented, and abused if no action is taken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;What is the new possible reality that could be created?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Human evolution, mental expansion, compassion, connection, empathetic trust, connected peace, humans using more of our brain: 15%, 20%, 30%, 50%. The daily experience of this possibility would be conversational interaction in the deep realm of discovery and creation; thus bypassing the temporal influences of greed, prejudice, ego, etc. Simply put, people sharing creation with people without the frame of fear. Experts would be contributing their expertise, connection, and influence in the realization of an idea into the marketplace. There is NO OTHER situation in the world like the one that will be created when this possibility of a paradigm shift is fulfilled upon. No other interaction draws, creates, and illuminates connections between people and their ideas and their desire to contribute to a free-flow conversation. I call it prismatic thought. Inventors will now have a way to prove their idea in real time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11173756-110972836639336634?l=avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com/feeds/110972836639336634/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11173756&amp;postID=110972836639336634&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11173756/posts/default/110972836639336634'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11173756/posts/default/110972836639336634'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://avbusinessmodel.blogspot.com/2005/03/this-blog-is-dedicated-to-altruistic.html' title='this blog is dedicated to the altruistic ventures business model of connected invention'/><author><name>Altruistic Ventures</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15979974141860080470</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_Fi45SOLKkC0/R-C-YlGaMbI/AAAAAAAAACY/3UaMsAWyy1M/S220/Me4Lifeboat.JPG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry></feed>
