    Who decides and how is a decision made? Is it influence by rational arguments or is it a choke-hold maneuver that even his (RMSs) dearest of friends cant escape?

    [09:13] schestowitz

    The rational argument by IBM, and their fellow mutually interested global giant corporations, is YOU DO AS WE SAY, OR NO MONEY COMING TO YOU.

    [09:13] schestowitz

    This is what every democracy in the planet has been reduced to, every democratic process that tolerated money/funding to be part of the decision making process.

[23:04] schestowitz This particular aspect has long fascinated me. Does this related to tech funding and tech research or something else? Just trying to assess how it fits in within our focus. Also, are there patent aspects like "commercialisation" and patent sales?
