    "Moneymaker does not care for money as such; money to him is a mean to an end, the mean to expand is activities. Most moneymaker are indifferent to luxury and their manner of living is startlingly modest in relation to their wealth"
    So true

    What Ayn Rand needed to see is that the scientist, engineer, or inventor often goes penny less because the business man or CEO often takes the invention or scientific discovery and profits from it and refuses to share any of the profits with the inventor. I have been in this situation. I know that this happens.

      Very little from Historical ideologies is any good, because it's already in the past. Anyone with past philosophy is condemned to commit/use the same old technologies and ideologies over and over again, and they do. New ideas, inventions and great innovations, rely nothing on the past. Otherwise we would still be living in caves and mudhuts; driving cars with reins [(as they were first driven) using old horse and buggy mentality] instead of with a steering wheel (which was a novel invention, nothing like it existed ever before)

I do believe it is possible for information to be transferred between *dimensions*, if you will. Another example is Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, who, through the help of his deceased son, who visited him in dreams, was able to discover the cause of cancer. Of course, you won't hear a lot of him in mainstream circles, other than perhaps that he was a raving anti-semite.

      @@solsticemoon1220 "Those who do not learn the history of capitalism are condemned to lose it." The original statement up top by: G. Militaru.
      All I'm attempting to say is: 1. No true learning is from history (it's old, past, burned out) 2. Capitalism is a failing system on many levels.(greed, corruption, false hopes, to name a few) Perhaps "NOT learning from history" might be a good thing, if it culminates in Capitalism being lost, and discovering a new and better system, whatever that may be.
      As it does not exist yet, it's going to take more than history or the past to invent it, it will have to come from a higher dimension capable of introducing a future financial system. As did Descartes Angel who said to him: "The conquest of nature is to be achieved through measure and number." The result: He developed a system for using letters as mathematical variables; and discovered how to plot points on a plane called the Cartesian plane. It works, bottom line.

    One lesson I got from this s that the entrepreneurial mind thinks differently than the employee mind thinks. Employee minds look at corporations and thinks “maybe someday I could sworn there and hold a job there.” The entrepreneurial mind looks at a corporation and thinks “how can I use the machinery of that corporation to expand my business.” The machinery of a corporation doesn’t mean just the assembly line machinery used to make a product, it also includes resources, land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship, and leadership.
