#34I have a huge list of "ideas" in a text file that I add to periodically... I'm filled with ideas. If I had millions of dollars, I'd hire tons of people to work on most of them. Some could be profitable, some are just good for the world, others are just interesting to me or are an area for science I think needs more exploring. I don't have time for them all sadly.
