A corporation took my best ideas and went to market before I could even get started. I didn't make any money but at least I have the feeling of community. /s

  I know right! It's much more soothing for me if I have a giant Ideas.md so when someone actually does all of the hard bits (implementation and execution) then I can say "I thought of that", and take comfort in rationalising my lack of discipline and drive to factors outside my control, further re-enforcing my intellect and egos tight binding and creating excuses that had circumstance not looked unfavourably on me, I would also be a billionaire, rather than accept the actual truth of my own inadequacies. Further to that goal here's my list: - Flying cars - Life extension though gene editing - AGI to do all of our mental work - Humanoid robots that do all of our physical work - Teleportation machines for instant travelling between points in space - Warp engines on starships - Mind uploading Now when people come out with these things I can say "I thought of that" like somehow that entitles me (even though these ideas are where everybody else gets to too - i.e. there's no creative originality) - now I dont have to do any work! /s
