15	Doug "Engelbart's career was inspired in December 1950 when he was	—	—	—	inherit	—
16	engaged to be married and realized he had no career goals other "than	—	—	—	inherit	—
17	a steady job, getting married and living happily ever after".[14] Over	—	—	—	inherit	—
18	several months he reasoned that:	—	—	—	inherit	—
19	-he would focus his career on making the world a better place[15]	—	—	—	inherit	—
20	-any serious effort to make the world better requires some kind of	—	—	—	inherit	—
21	organized effort	—	—	—	inherit	—
22	-harnessing the collective human intellect of all the people	—	—	—	inherit	—
23	contributing to effective solutions was the key	—	—	—	inherit	—
24	-if you could dramatically improve how we do that, you'd be boosting	—	—	—	inherit	—
25	every effort on the planet to solve important problems — the sooner	—	—	—	inherit	—

46	"Luhmann claimed that his file was something of a collaborator in his	—	—	—	inherit	—
47	work, a largely independent partner in his research and writing. It	—	—	—	inherit	—
48	might have started out as a mere apprentice when Luhmann was still	—	—	—	inherit	—
49	studying himself (in 1951), but after thirty years of having been fed	—	—	—	inherit	—
50	information by the human collaborator it had acquired the ability of	—	—	—	inherit	—
51	surprising him again an again. Since the ability of genuinely	—	—	—	inherit	—
52	surprising one another is an essential characteristic of genuine	—	—	—	inherit	—
53	communication, he argued that there was actually communication going	—	—	—	inherit	—

55	Tim Gowers says:	—	—	—	inherit	—
56	“Keep up the good work...going back to	—	—	—	inherit	—
57	Polymath, I felt that one of the reasons that it hasn’t	—	—	—	inherit	—
58	really ...scaled in the way that we hoped...is that there’s a sort of feeling that it doesn't really work unless you’ve got someone who’s already got a very prominent blog who	—	—	—	inherit	—
59	can attract people and, and there aren’t very many people who are in	—	—	—	inherit	—
60	that position so as a result there haven’t been that many Polymath	—	—	—	inherit	—
61	projects. But with a sort of very nice product like this that people	—	—	—	inherit	—
62	can work on privately or in small groups, that they get together, or	—	—	—	inherit	—
63	sort of publicly in a small way, I think there’s the potential for	—	—	—	inherit	—
64	much more collaborative research to become a lot more practiced. In	—	—	—	inherit	—
65	mathematics I feel as though one of the things that’s holding up	—	—	—	inherit	—
66	progress in that direction is exactly a lack of a really nice piece of	—	—	—	inherit	—
67	software like this. As I was saying to you earlier, you have something	—	—	—	inherit	—
68	that people can use privately, but that’s very easy for other people	—	—	—	inherit	—
69	to contribute to as well, then that way you don’t really have to go	—	—	—	inherit	—
70	out there and encourage people to start collaborating with each other	—	—	—	inherit	—
71	it’ll just happen automatically. All these structured, half-finished	—	—	—	inherit	—
72	projects will be there for people to go in and contribute to. So, I	—	—	—	inherit	—

91	What motivates us right now is that we see the most fundamental pressing problem in the world is that human activity is scattered:	—	—	—	inherit	—
92	People with synergistic ideas in research groups, big companies, and society aren't aware of each other (Tim Berners-Lee says "There are millions of scientists trying to cure the likes of AIDS and Alzheimer's. Maybe the cure is currently separated in different people's heads. How can we design the web so that these half-formed solutions can come together? How can we build a really creative space for scientists?" in	—	—	—	inherit	—
93	http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2011-04/19/tim-berners-lee-science-w3c). Talented people start redundant or non meaningful startups even when there are many great ideas available low-hanging.	—	—	—	inherit	—
94	News media has a short attention span; we hear about bombings in Syria and earthquakes in Haiti one week and something else the next, even if the problems aren't resolved. Resultantly, the well-being of suffering people is at the mercy of what entertains the first world.	—	—	—	inherit	—
95	This isn't okay.	—	—	—	inherit	—
96	Minsky teaches us that a mind is a system to meditate between a collection of little agents, and that society is a mind. This mind is currently scatterbrained.	—	—	—	inherit	—
97	In the abstract, the goal of this project is to build a "gestalt processing system for society" (ref: link on http://ideaflow.jacobcole.net) so that everyone, everywhere can be included in the circle of humanity. It is to lift the fog of non connection that sits on the world between people and their ideas, and build the giant global graph. It is to create a system to relate ideas - a rudimentary intelligence able to, for fundamental reasons, make broader connections than any single brain - which, as a side effect, produces a new paradigm for conducting Internet research that is better informed than Google for many tasks (ref: http://researchlists.jacobcole.net). In the same breath, it also incidentally produces a new type of smart text document not trapped in the paradigm of static paper.	—	—	—	inherit	—
98	The data collected from this system is vast and hopes to lay the groundwork for strong AI that produces new ideas autonomously.	—	—	—	inherit	—
99	In parallel, a second problem we see is that many of the smartest people we know spend their days working to improve the ad recommendation system on Facebook instead of curing cancer or building strong AI. We are, ultimately, striving to give these people a materially equally appealing or more appealing alternative option that also gives them an opportunity to directly help people!	—	—	—	inherit	—

105	"I think it's fascinating, what you're working on. And more importantly than the whizzy-bang demo is the thought behind it, the framework. It's really sophisticated for a company of your stage. I've seen a lot, and I'm rarely as blown away as I am right now.	—	—	—	inherit	—
106	Congrats on finding a... Let's put it this way.	—	—	—	inherit	—
107	The most common reason we pass on an opportunity is not because we think it's going to lose money, but because we think it's not worthy of ten years of a founder's time, like success is just not going to... The opportunity cost for a founder like you is so massive that they have to be working on something that, if they solve it, is worth so much more, is so much better than any other opportunity they could spend their time on. Oftentimes, when I pass on something, it's because I don't think it's worthy of the founder's time! I wish that the founder was working on something bigger, or something else. So, what I like about this... Whether you choose us or we choose you or we get there, what I like about this problem that you're solving is it's so worthy of your time. Who knows, it could be something! But it is real, it's worthy, it's... very cool. Congratulations. It's hard to find something that so early, with something so broad, so fragile, you can still get enough visibility to look and say, yup, this is worth a decade of my life."	—	—	—	inherit	—
