As a person who has studied geniuses of various sorts (Hokusai, Feynman, Einstein, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Shannon), I can tell you that genius appears to be the combination of natural talent, opportune environment and very hard work. If you find such a person, and that person is hungry and honest, then you should be able to become their patron and reap the benefits of stimulating them and reflexively being stimulated by them.
If you and your team are honest and honorable, I would be more than happy to share my projects with you, at least one of which is most certainly genius. Without question, I most certainly share the most important factor in geniuses of all varieties: my simple curiosity and love of knowledge. It is also my natural naivety and lack of concern for money and my utter lack of the mindset that most people have in its pursuit that has left me at the mercy of the greedy and ruthless (but also with a very happy, normal family life and the ability to sleep soundly). As such, I have very little means to pursue my ideas, even though I have achieved enough to be able to provide hard proof that my ideas are still years ahead of their time, and are based upon my experience in dealing with practical needs of modern software development projects, which my resume will demonstrate more than adequately.
Like I said, if you are honorable and intellectually honest about what you don't know (that is a fundamental key to greatness), and you want to work as a team where each member is respected for the uniqueness that they bring to the table, then let's figure out how to chat.
I am deadly serious about this. And while I'm not a fan of TDD as a strict discipline (because I am already a particularly belligerent software tester myself that feels that TDD is a bit over-the-top in terms of structure), I do understand the necessity of setting specific, testable goals. As such, I feel that our world society has failed to create a proper goal for our achievement as a unified human race. I propose that we declare "done" to be "Lasting peace and happiness for all human beings."
My goal, therefore, is to somehow utilize my life's work in information systems to help promote and achieve that definition of "done". I understand that we could engineer such systems to create that society for all human beings, irrespective of ethnicity, form of religion (or lack thereof), sexual orientation or gender identity. While I respect money's ability to measure any endeavor's value to the society producing it, I do despise the love of money for its own purpose while so many human beings suffer in poverty and the Earth is being destroyed due to short-term profit being pursued at the expense of the long-term health of the Earth and its peoples.
I believe that it is my loving perspective on helping others that has given me insights into next-gen technology endeavors. I would love to share my perspective with your team and let you judge me for yourselves. In any event, I'm not feeling very eloquent tonight, but I can share with you my belief that if you make a Bodhisattva Vow or somesuch commitment to facilitating the transformation of this world such that it becomes "On Earth as it is in Heaven", you will receive all necessary inspiration to achieve your goals and far, far more. I wish you all success in your endeavors.
I would enjoy speaking with your team and sharing what I have learned and the kinds of information projects I have already envisioned. My question here is how do we connect without our doxing ourselves, for I have no website to point you towards.
