With that money I could have financed clinical trials with PNC-27 + thymalin and therefore solved cancer. I'm not even joking, people don't have the erudition to realize it but it's true.

The US has almost 1000 billionaires. Any one of them could decide to mobilize researchers for this purpose, but instead they have decided it's not worth doing that. In fact they have decided it's not worth mobilizing anybody to do anything with that extra money. Why?

    I don't think it's malice. I think wealthy people are predominantly focused on keeping their fortune in-tact, and growing. I don't think they feel a great responsibility to spend it. But, in my view, the whole point of capitalism is to allocate decision-making authority to those who make good decisions. If it gets allocated to people who choose to defer those decisions indefinitely (by not spending the money), then I think that's a major failure of the system. It may be that not spending the money is the best decision. But, as someone who see's opportunities for improvement literally everywhere, I fail to see how that's possible.

Your argument resembles that of frauds and quacks everywhere. I hope I know less about cancer research than you do -- because I know very little, and you want us to believe that you know more than that. However your presentation style will convince no one.

  No one can be convinced by a few lines argumentation and the attention span of the average joe does not allow for lengthier argumentation, do you see the problem? Therefore I can only trigger attention/interest as a way for those people to allocate higher attention span in order to then receive real explanations if interested.

    That is 2 years old at this point. It sounds like mRNA might be more promising now. https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2022/mrna-vaccines-to-treat-cancer https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2022...

    I see, so you think you're performing for the uneducated masses. You're deluding yourself. This is fraudulent argumentation. If you have something to say that you want people to pay attention to, you can work up a few sentences plus a few corroborating links. If you have nothing to say, you intimate at great revelation held back by the ignorance of lessers, and tell inquirers to do their own research. If you don't like the categorization you've self-selected into, then you need to select differently. Otherwise, you just appear to be clueless but aspirational, condescending and clearly not worth engaging.

create and sell some NFTs collections. the market is telling you what to do. I'm not even joking, people don't have the erudition to realize it but it's true. in the past year you could have - launched an "Ohm-fork DAO" for this specific purpose and accumulated a treasury of $700mm just because they were in vogue for a few months - launched a premium NFT collection of randomly generated profile pictures, just because that was in vogue for a few months - done a "land sale" like this article is about, just because thats in vogue now what did you do over the last year? chase a bunch of "promising leads" for weekly meetings that never amount to anything? this particular world is moving fast, its up to you.

  Right but I'm not smart enough to have done that and now the market is saturated with scammers. Also, I wonder if DALLE-2 will have a non-negligible impact, although nowadays creating NFTs is not longer sufficent to scamm many people, you need to build a brand, like a virus to infect and gain mind-share.

    it's saturated, but not oversaturated if you looked at any aggregator's "upcoming NFT launch calendar" 8 months ago you could have easily came to the same conclusion that its saturated and too hard to stand out instead the space has grown by two orders of magnitude since last week the "amazing sale du jour" was Moonbirds. Some articles were saying "this may look like an overnight success but it really built off of an existing community" read between the lines and you'll find that the existing community (Proof Collective) was formed in January it does require some meticulousness, but you can learn it
