> forward-thinking proposals of the past – produced by a “public” of academics, artists and government agencies yeah, the joy of Fascism, Communism, and all those other future gems produced by the infallible agencies, institutions, and academics. "Billionaires" don't design humanity's future. People with ideas do and only if these ideas are freely embraced by other members of the public. Freely is keyword here. And if that person's ideas prove widely embraced and successful, they possibly become a billionaire. It's an organic and natural process, fair and square; in direct opposition to this are the govt. agencies and academics who in most cases has to force their thinking on the public and as history has proven - to catastrophic results. Naturally some of these successful people become arrogant or simply delusional and start spawning other ideas and grand plans, but that is normal human flaws and nothing out of the ordinary. In such cases, the ultimate error correction mechanism - people's acceptance - kicks in and at best Mr. Future ends up with losses, useless inventory, and some media frowns. Author of the article has a sick and fundamentally broken perception of reality. By saying that successful people shouldn't be allowed to make things for others to possibly use (or not), he's taking away the very fundamental freedom that is responsible for making the better part of the civilized world today.
