Greetings Friends.

Imagine, a place, where open minded, unbiased, intelligent conversation can take place. Where ideas may breed without fear of ridicule, nay sayers or trolls.

Imagine an environment, full of like minds. People that are Open Minded, Intelligent, Aware, Gifted, Talented, Successful, Motivated and Determined.

A place of higher evolved beings, where we make no use of negative comments such as, that is not true, and "you cant do that" or, your theory is not true.

A place where we can discuss, brainstorm, and not be afraid of being wrong. Not being afraid of being kindly corrected, or kindly proven wrong.

An atmosphere, of refreshed motivation. Where we will support your ideas, goals and provide insight and resources to make your dreams achievable.

This place will be born. The brightest or the bright, the open minded, the most motivated, the most harmonious minds can develop, and partake in intelligent, worthwhile, useful conversation.

A place where No's and Cant's are shunned. And Yes's and Can's are praised, no matter how unbelievable or complicated they may seem to uninformed Psycho Skeptics and naysayers.

My fellow positive thinkers, my enlightened friends, my prodigy children, my indigo children, come with me. Let us establish our place and light our Torch and never shall we extinguish the Flame that will burn so Brightly!

A Think Tank, a place where resources come together, professionals meet, business men ready for business, inventors ready for inventing, visionaries ready to actualize their visions..

We invite you to be the first to join our online community. You know who you are. Its time we come together now, and bring our kind to the light.

Skeptics have their homes, scientists have their homes, now the Prodigy Children shall have theirs!

Show your support by replying with Positive, Productive, Thoughts, statements, questions and suggestions.

Chat room and group membership page will be up as long as we all work together to actualize this concept. We need your support.

Kind regards, James

so where is 'heaven' then?

thats a tall order, not because it cant be done, but because there are people who would purposely sabatoge this project just because they can, welcome to the human race

People like you BSFilter?

I asked people to comment positively, when I see enough support and like minds, we shall begin. This is just an Idea. An Idea is stronger then the Sword.

If ther is no support here, I shall try and try again until I build our community and then we shall laugh at the naysayers.

Theoryofrelativity, we need to create our "heaven" here first by absorbing in the ideas, creating ideas, solutions, and finally the official group. Kthanx.

You read my intentions wrong, sign me up, im just saying its going to be very hard, because like I said before, it will be intentionally sabatoged (not by me)

A place of higher evolved beings, where we make no use of negative comments such as, that is not true, and "you cant do that" or, your theory is not true.


Hmmm......so no skeptics allowed in Galt's Gulch huh? I thought the "negative" questions were some of the things that prompt/cultivate intellectual growth?

What's wrong with saying something is wrong? Naysaying is often healthy. If it didn't happen, we would all have no choice but to blindly agree with what is put forth. I think you (and your so-called "higher evolved beings") are just being pompous and elitist, and, quite frankly, ignorant and naive.

"You read my intentions wrong, sign me up, im just saying its going to be very hard, because like I said before, it will be intentionally sabatoged (not by me)"

Clearly state your intentions Please.

Now, reread my post. I said its fine to say no, and to reject theories.

But what were not interested in, is uneccesary negative statements, and even statements such as cants, donts and No's, are on the whole, not looked upon.

However when needed, obviously if a theory or question deserves the No answer, we will accept.

Look Guys, Im sure you can complain and say it will be hard. Yes, it may well be.

However, using Positive Thinking, we ignore this, and carry on.

Thus, a determined group of atleast 5 intellectual persons, with strong values, talents, will be sufficient to begin the orgonization.

The main goal, is to unite, persons who believe in Positive Thinking, Energy, Metaphysical Concepts, Advanced Concept Ideas, Advanced Technology, Software Engineering, Nanotechnology etc.

With a flavor of harmonious, always positive, always motivated discussion, answers, etc.

With this mind set, negative answers are tolerated, even appreciated.

Because we quickly learn from the mistake. We learn a way Not to do something.

What this teaches us is to respect and value mistakes, failures, and wrong answers.

Yet at the same time, we learn to not let negativity, or wrong answers stop us in any way.

This is using Positive Thinking.

Ok you guys get it? Clearly state your opinions and if you would like to join. Ther is no place like this anywhere.

If you have a dream, an invention, or a goal, or for any business, this is the group. Were here to do usefull things. Not chat aimlessly, and only comment on news articles.

This is for the pros, the designers, the rich people, the writers, you name it.

Enviromentalists, Activists, Volenteers.

This is a THINK TANK. We will create ideas, we will invent solutions, we will create the product, the marketing, we will go after our dreams.

We will motivate you, and help you for your personal goals, as well as our collective goals.

Not for profit, Not for fame, Just Because..

Because Im tired of things being Inefficiant. Im tired of our society.

This is a place where the Future can Grow, Can Actualize. Those who doubt us now may doubt until the cows come home.

But nobody will stop me, Nobody can nobody will.

This isnt for everybody. This isnt for the teenager who just plays video games. This isnt for the Rich guy, who thinks hes generous because he gives gifts to his friends and family.

This isnt for warmongers, fearmongers, and naysayers. This isnt for Skeptics, Psycho Skeptics, or for Selfish people.

This isnt a place to chit chat aimlessly, or comment on a post.

This is a place, for the dreamers. For people who think about how inefficient and unfair society is.

This is a place for matterfull conversation. This is a place where your desires may actualize and crystalize into the physical plane. ....If... You so choose.

I have chosen that a long time ago, and I have tried many times. I have yahoo groups with 300+ members.

You must get the picture by now. If you agree or are interested, state your positive comments.

If ther negative, please keep them to yourselves, if you still choose to post negative comments, feel free to know that they do not effect me in any way.

And they only prove how unevolved spiritually you are.

what happens to the ideas generated by this think tank? who owns them?

If you're fishing for Grouper, the home of the lake Trout is probably not going to be a productive place to cast about for bites. ;)

Any matter of possibilities exist. In a efficient, usefull, fair system. Rest assured, ideas/solutions that are deemed extremely valuable the writer will have full ownership of the idea. And full credits to it.

However, there will be lots of brainstorming, lots of discussion.

We know people want to be credited, and we also believe in sharing the data, and or profits derived from it.

Rest assured, everyone involved will be completly satisfied with the way that will eventually pan out. Ther will be no cheating, no stealing, none of that.

It is not needed. That is the Old system. The corporate system.

We give credit where credit is due. Everything will be harmonious, even if we dont know how it will work at this time, you can count on the High Standards and Ethics of our group that we will "Give credit where credit is due".

...ideas/solutions that are deemed extremely valuable the writer will have full ownership of the idea. And full credits to it.

However, ...we also believe in sharing the data, and or profits derived from it.

Which is it? Full ownership, or commie notions of unearned wealth-redistribution to the inept, unproductive, untalented, or just plain lazy, blood-sucking, under-achieving class?

Fair warning: Mine is a Right-to-Carry state.

"Feeling lucky? Well, are you, punk?" :roll:

(No self-accuated, self-aggrandizing community disfunctionals were actually harmed in the making of this post.)

You must get the picture by now. If you agree or are interested, state your positive comments.


For someone who claims to want to belong to a group of elite thinkers, your post doesn't really do a very good job of selling the idea..... not only that, but you haven't said anything particularly brilliant yet-- I mean, I'm expecting the leader of our new utopia (I guess we'll call it "Mavrix's Gulch") to be charismatic, prolific, and interesting. All I see at this point is a bunch of whining, few mispelled words here and there, and some sort of wacky insult about people that aren't "spiritually evolved". I guess this is to say that I am not interested.

I really wouldnt want You in my group anyways.

What do you want me to say? Im not writing the best ideas or making a big story, I made more then enough detail. Those who would like to join so be it.

It will be a little chat room or a forum maybe or a blog or all three.

I might have to start inviting people who i think would like the group.

Frankly i thought people would be alot more interested.

thats fine, the group already has enough very modern minds.

Were going to have our motivational blog up, our ebooks, articles, solutions, products, up and online this month.

Were doing something, working on new advanced concept software. Thinking Software that makes you smarter.

We will also have a Chat Room ok? Right now it consists of our webdesigners, coders, writers etc, so we are in the works of orgonizing everything.

We are looking for the people that Know they will be millionairs. Or people who are already. Were looking for Alpha Males, not Beta Males.

Alpha Females as well. This is just the beginning and crude attempts at orgonizing a structured community outside the founders.

Im not spamming products or groups, That would be Lame.

What im doing is just creating a team of like minded individuals.

And if you mind isnt like our minds (3 members) you dont get in.

Because all us three have proven ourselves to eachother. And backed it up with experiments, inventions,articles, ebooks etc.

You know when two or more genius get together? Thats what our group is.

Far as im concerned, this post is not about What the group is, or what "I" can do or am trieng to do.

Its what "We can do"

Its the concept idea Hello?! Post your ideas/comments not counter-productive riddick.

Look you want to do that, do that on All the other Threads, Because thers Always a Smart Ass who has to say something stupid or try to be smarter or prove someone wrong.

I know I know
All super genius cults have horrible spelling

Oh judging my intelligence on my poor spelling? Hmm..

Great Analysis ;)

Constructive Criticism. It is very sad to see that a lot of people are unable to understand this simple thing. I have been in a lot of online communities since about 4 years now (yes, when I was just 10) and I have seen a lot of members who just don't know how to criticize in a constructive way. I have also seen members who are criticize in such a constructive way that it actually makes the recipient feel happy upon receiving it.

To see a perfect example of sound social people, who are very good at constructive criticism, check out the great deviantART (http://www.deviantart.com) community. You will find lot's of good people over there who simply comment on other people's art and if they want to point out something they make it a point to point it out in such a way that it is constructive and actually helps out and encourages the other guy.

My approach is something like this:- I tend to check out both the good points and the points which require improvement or modification. I make it a point to mention the good points first, and after that I mention the latter in a very constructive way.

An example:

A user posts a topic in which he posts a simple web script he made and asks for your comments. The script has some serious flaws but has some good points too.

Now a decent person would say something like this:

"Nice job. I really like the xyz and abc parts of the script. I see you've put in a lot of effort into these and they're very good. I would also like to point out some flaws in the script:-

1. xyz
2. abc

If you want any further help please do not hesitate to ask! :)"

And a goon would say something like this:

"Lmao, that script sucks some major ass IMHO. There are so many flaws in the script dude you didn't even bother to fix them, kthx die n00b. Oh yeah u can't even spell "script" right."

See the difference? Which person do you think is more mature and better?

So the bottom-line is to learn constructive criticism. Learn how to respond to it. Learn how to do it.

I was seriously thinking about writing some kind of "Internet Communities Behavior Guidelines" or something similar. Spending all these years around at online communities has certainly taught me a lot of things, and as a senior member at most of those communities I would like newer people to learn the skills and qualities in successful seniors.

Syed Sameer - A 14-year-old kicking some intelligent ass

Syedsameer, that sounds correct.

Thanks for the input. Discussion like that is what this group is about. Constructive Criticism is like Positive Thinking. Its improving something, relaying information, suggestions, comments, dislikes in a kind and productive manner.

Writing a Internet Communities Behavior Guideline is a pretty good idea. After the initial, standardized rules are orgonized, you could promote it to other forums encouraging more productive conversation.

The net is just about ready to go from, crazy, crack pot, machoism, to a more intelligent, calm and realistic approach.

Anyone wanting to join this discussion group can do so here. ProdigyChild (http://groups.google.ca/group/ProdigyChild)

hope yer reading this phlo and co!!.....you are SO immature and inept at proper debate you make immature seem mature

deviantART is filled with whining emos who haven't a clue about relationships, but that has nothing to do with this topic so scratch that. (Not that all of them are such, but many are)

Does this thinktank have any funding? What will be done with the ideas brought up? Are you aware of the "groupthink" effect?

I wasnt judging your intelligence based on your spelling, I was judging your credibility

I wasnt judging your intelligence based on your spelling, I was judging your credibility

What the heck does that have to do with my spelling?

Not every genius has spent the time to learn spelling, people have different reasons.

Besides the point, my credibility has Nothing to do with this concept/group.

This is ALL Counter-Productive, well what your saying atleast. And thus we dont want people like you. We dont want stupid BS and mockery of people who cant spell.

We dont talk **** we do ****.

Man, don't get angry because he was critiscing your idea, spelling and grammar.

What do you do?

From his/her Google Group posting....

The groups founders are my good friend swaydam and myself. We are very spiritual, aware, mentally capable. We will be offering our In-Sight,
Know-ledge, Help, Systems, Books and guides. We will also have a chat room where we can all discuss our projects.
Sounds a bit like a cult to me.... :D

(Here, have a pamphlet!)

Strangely, I got offered a pamphlet today by some Jehovas witness (or something)

Why, Mavrix, do you feel the need to spell knowledge and insight with hyphens?

Breaking the word to its primary descriptions. Brings deeper mean-ing to the words and aware-ness.

Yeah.. Its a new online cult. Once you sign up we send you our special poisonous cocktails.

Mavrix, scrolling briefly through this thread and reading your posts, you are very defensive and unecessarily so too. How can you start a thread promoting free yet unhindered exchange of ideas, when only views expressed in a manner you deem acceptable be permissable. This is not a dictatorship you know.

"Not every genius has spent the time to learn spelling, people have different reasons."

uh...

And the reason I said that is that most people who cannot spell properly are children, which would kind of ruin your credibility when talking about all the advanced things you are. Am I wrong?

Yes you are wrong. Your assuming that a bad speller has no credibility, and dont know about advanced technology. You are clearly wrong.

And this is a democrocy of like minded individuals. Were not a skeptics group, or your local forum BSers.

This is about positive productivity, not thought control.

Judging by most of your resistive comments I can see clearly that some of you are not interested, and likewise I am not interested in you.

Goodbye then. Next time, pay for advertising space, or make a small donation to SciForums.

Sorry Marvix, I was not aware that people that are educated enough to understand particle physics and have the ability to create a utopia of like minded individuals are not educated enough to spell correctly. Horrible assumption on my part. ;-)

Wow, I had to come out of my little SciForums vacation to respond to this one.

Also, before I start, I'd like to point out that about a month ago I posted a very similar idea to this (check the older pages), although, I admit, it was a little bit less idealistic, elististic, and detailed (albeit more realistic, in my opinion)

Anyway, Marvix, I just have a couple questions regarding your think tank. First, who will be funding this whole project? Will you be an actual entity? Non-profit organization? Social club? Next, will recruiting be done solely by interviews with you and your inner circle? And how do you know that you yourself are up to the task of identifying gifted individuals? What will you do when you attract someone who is, indeed, more fit for your position than you are?

These are just some preliminary questions I have about the think tank, so I'll be back when your back, I suppose.

To SciForums...I'll be back.

Come all you crackpots. Do you believe in Leprechauns & Bermuda Triangle phenomena? Tell us about your beliefs. We will not put you down. We will help you search for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.A place where No's and Cant's are shunned. And Yes's and Can's are praised, no matter how unbelievable or complicated they may seem to uninformed Psycho Skeptics and naysayers.Oops, I forgot to mention that we do not even tolerate informed not-psycho skeptics, as the following makes clear.This isnt for Skeptics, Psycho Skeptics, or for Selfish people.Perhaps selfish is a warning for Ayn Rand objectivists to also stay away, although outlawing skeptics would be sufficient to exclude those who like Ayn Rand concepts.

I wonder if logic might be outlawed at this wonderful forum. It does often rear its ugly head with cogent reasons for disbelief in various concepts.

If I knew where it was, I think I would find some of the discussions fascinating. I wonder if I could resist making a facetious comment or two.

And by the way, how do you know your a genius?

What's wrong with saying something is wrong? Naysaying is often healthy. If it didn't happen, we would all have no choice but to blindly agree with what is put forth. I think you (and your so-called "higher evolved beings") are just being pompous and elitist, and, quite frankly, ignorant and naive.


Hot damn, my thoughts exactly. This "special" group seems like the kind of people who like to discuss their IQ and their amazing scores in Soduku. Sounds like a group of elitist pricks. I'd prefer a relaxed group of ranged intelligence that can still argue, learn, discuss, get angry, and be humerously insultive. None of this heavenly and perfect nonsense.

Your guys arguments are not strong.

I believe i said the reason for the the group is like all think tanks, to create better ideas to help humanity. Not help ourselves.

This isnt an elitist group, this is a Like-Minded group.

You dont need to be super intelligent, i said, activists, enviromentalists, basicly anyone who wants to make a positive change to the world. and not for yourselves.

"First, who will be funding this whole project? Will you be an actual entity? Non-profit organization? Social club? Next, will recruiting be done solely by interviews with you and your inner circle? And how do you know that you yourself are up to the task of identifying gifted individuals? What will you do when you attract someone who is, indeed, more fit for your position than you are?"

The founder, will always have to begin funding. This dream is for a non profit, humanitarian, futurist, enviromental innovative group.

What i create with this group, is like no other so at this time, i do not wish to explain, or try to prove to you people what it is. But basicly, its pro active.

very advanced, modern, efficient charity, and doing things and making money that helps the Earth.

I can choose who goes in, not based on IQ, not based on anything, except wether your goals are aligned with the goal of this group, and thus (my goals)

You guys, Clearly see my point.

Only one or two of you, have asked neutral or positive comments. All others, trolling, mocking, negativity.

I told you clearly, its a group of positive like minded people.

Now all you trash talkers, have taken this, Molded it into your own twisted thoughts, and replied with egotistical rude comments.

Its not an elitist group, its a place where you can talk to smart, pro active people, instead of trolls, and posters, who just post because they think they know what they speak of.

I put out the request. It wasnt liked much. Thus it means most are not interested, or disagree.

And all that means is that ill let you keep doing what your doing, and ill keep doing what im doing.


Ta

Think tanks are all fine and dandy but increasingly forums such as this and to a larger extent the entire internet itself have become the ultimate think tank(s). Plus they are open to all (including their likes and dislikes) not just a small group (with a more limited set of likes and dislikes).

Not to say think tanks are not still useful (DARPA) just that in general they have "evolved" since the days of the Manhattan Project.

what happens to the ideas that are generated by this think tank
are they researched and developed?
who is funding this think tank?
and more importantly where is it?

its supposed to be online. it needs to officially exist before we need to find answers to things like your asking.

I get it now.
A nonprofit organization for people that want to make millions of dollars.
An organization comprised of the brightest people, but not intelligent people.
And a scheme that is already in motion, but no need for a plan until later.

I guess all that's needed is some funding to actually put this entity into motion. I'm with you!
Funding should be no problemo. All we do is just get enough people together, and ask each one of them to submit a donation. We will then offer them a percentage of the potential profit from the nonprofit million dollar idea if they can get as many of their friends to join as possible (a higher percentage paid for the more people they can get to join).
Well-- actually, I guess we wouldn't be able to let just any ol' person into the Think Tank---- we need the right kind of people....... highly motivated "Yes I can!" type people that really want to make a difference (with the environment).
