[21/09, 5:31 am] Abhishek Choudhary: Ok… So what makes anything expensive?
We had the commodity vs niche discussion a few days back.
In anything to do with science and tech it’s the parents that become the clog in the system to universal access.
At the same time, parents are not evil - we need to amortize our investment and risks taken.
What we really need are people owned research
Now how is that possible? There costs, and skills, and a myriad other things.
True… But save a few, how many billionaires are researchers and inventors themselves?
The workers are from among the people!
As for infrastructure, I will share my views in the next message [21/09, 5:34 am] Abhishek Choudhary: Oh… Spell checker is evil…
Nothing wrong with parents…
Patents!!!!
Now I know why the lawyer didn’t respond… Who would reply to whether he’s a parent attorney🥴 [21/09, 5:44 am] Abhishek Choudhary: Enterprises are not evil… Cannot be
Their ownership pattern and control systems are! At times…
We need capital… But that capital has to be… Of/for/by the people
And no… Government owned machinery is not going to be it’s alter ego…
The philosophy behind stock exchanges is such… But bringing about a Red Herring where we propose majority people ownership is not feasible under the rules… And rallying so many people together is not an easy job
Again, when and if at all, such corporates are formed they will face the eponymous need for a benevolent dictator
Any popular person can be one…
But this person should be driven towards that goal - of inclusive access.
History shows us such roads have been dug up with Machiavellian pot holes. [21/09, 5:47 am] Abhishek Choudhary: Then, whenever that then has a critical mass, research in true interest of inclusive access can be seeded
Thereafter, the system has to sustain till a point of plateau. Any failures before that will result in a slide back [21/09, 5:50 am] Abhishek Choudhary: Here are the numbers…
1.5 billion people… If 10 inr face value shares are restricted to maximum 100 units per natural citizen… With 30% subscription we get a capital of 500 billion inr
That’s 7 billion USD!
Now tell us how can billion USD be used to bring about inclusive accessible healthcare [21/09, 5:52 am] Abhishek Choudhary: Checking the math
10 x 100 units = 1000 subscription limit
1.5 bil x 1000 = 1500 bil
30% of that is 500 bil
At today’s exchange rate … 6.26 billion USD [21/09, 6:17 am] Abhishek Choudhary: Now various legislation may play spoilsport…
I not suggesting breaking any law!
But the dynamics don’t work out.
We will not have such a capital realized… Subscriptions will not happen…
An alternate pathway is needed…
Let say what would we use such a huge fund for…
Capex part…
Setup research / teaching institutions that cover all aspects needed to maintain health from fetal to petal position (my version of womb to tomb!)
Logistics infrastructure - for geo locating and transferring both matter and information
Manufacturing units
Cognitive tools (IT, AI, IoT, HPC etc)
Opex parts…
Worker sustenance (doctor, researcher, pharma, para, and every other trade needed… All of them need to run their kitchens)
Materials / Matter resources
Energy sources
Communication and transportation [21/09, 6:23 am] Abhishek Choudhary: Now… How can this 4x4 (capex opex) model be achieved without mass capital
Teaching and research institutions exist… PIs need to drive inclusive healthcare projects - and choose non predatory open access publications channels
Logistics needs some capital (can’t help that! Though I have been working on a plot called The Oil Revolutionaries - another form of Tor in the post singularity world)
Information exchange, though not free, is still quite accessible
Manufacturing units… Need to move towards table top manufacturing and be run by micro entrepreneurs
Cognitive tools need to remain in open domain (the technological Singularity must not be owned by Big Tech) [21/09, 6:29 am] Abhishek Choudhary: Now for the opex…
Won’t doctors / other HCW consulting on this network not need sustenance? Let’s debate how HIT can help with that
Material resources have reached a point of extra terrestrial sources… We need people owned space exploration… Meanwhile, not HIT but other cognitive tools can help us leverage what we have among us… We can also have symbiotic relationships with restrictive / imperialistic capital manufacturers to begin with
Energy and knowledge are the currencies of the future times… We need answers for these
Communication efforts (aka news and media / advertising) need to be crowdsourced [21/09, 6:30 am] Abhishek Choudhary: Next what…
Clinical trials…
Well by definition it’s a people’s healthcare network… Will it be as expensive to carry out clinical trials there?
How can HIT help? Let’s debate [21/09, 6:31 am] Abhishek Choudhary: Answered with my PoV above
