Quote:Danno says: "if it sounds too good to be true then it surely is" in the correct context that is equivalent to saying "our system is so full of corruption and greed that you can't trust anyone".I didn't say nor imply any of what you have to say here. Besides, my reply was to Black Diamond's question regarding my topic. Don't take my words and interpret them to suit your twisted logic. But if you must, provide examples to prove YOUR point of view.
The idea that the prospect of monetary gain is the spark that ignites innovation is a huge fallacy. Innovation is not a function of monetary gain. Incentive in not a function of monetary gain. Benevolence is not a function of monetary gain. Most of the great innovators of human history did so for reasons other than monetary gain.
