I would like to start an intentional community for inventors, or actually one which would be the ideal environment for inventors as well as regular people.
Inventors (and regular people) need individual decision power and time to invent. Many inventors aren't motivated by the desire to make money. If they do want money, it is usually just because they want the time to invent, which money would provide.
An intention community can provide a sharing extremely collaborative environment, which would allow inventors to accomplish their dreams.
A typical inventor in America might make about $4000 a month or so, from which about $4000 a month is spent on basic survival expenses, leaving little or nothing left over for inventing.
In a typical intentional community in America, the average person makes the community perhaps $1000 a month or so (due to businesses which make very low income per hour of labor, which is due to lack of inventors). From that, pathetic income, these people have about $100 left over, free and clear, which could be used for inventing.
I'm not talking about making a typical intentional community. I'm talking a community with modern tools and machines, which will boost income potential. Let's say we have a community where each person brings in an average of $2000 a month. From that, $1000 a month can be spent on tools, machines, and R&D.
Here's the difference. See, every $1000 extra, benefits you, because most of the stuff purchased with it, is stuff which is available for you to use. Say for example, that Joe, Jim, and Fred get together and buy a Electron Scanning Microscope. Guess who gets to use it. You do! Say Frank, George, Bob and Sue get together and buy a CNC Milling Machine. Guess who gets to use it. You do! If you don't know how, no problem, Frank or George or someone will help you.
You want toys? Well, a few people made some go-carts, and guess who gets to use them. You do. Someone else bought a pool table, a big screen TV, etc. All available for you to use.
What I'm talking about is a community where you get to choose what your portion of the money is used for, but what ever it is used for becomes shared property, available to all. If there's 100 people in the community, they'll all be buying things for you to use. Like getting $100,000 a month worth of stuff, and not needed to think about what to spend it on ;)
This will be a shared income style community, with a radical new style of decision making, which allows individual freedom. There will be some time, which you will have required tasks, to keep the community going, but there'll be plenty of time left over for inventing or whatever your inspired to do. Perhaps 10 to 20 hours a week of required tasks.
There are some mild problems, but those are easily worked out. We are after all, problem solvers.
So, anyone interested?

Re: Inventor's Paradise
Mon, December 12, 2005 - 10:43 AM"Many inventors aren't motivated by the desire to make money"?! Very few (if any) of my clients fall into that many pile. But your inventive collective idea is interesting, not unlike a writers' collective (which REALLY don't make any money). More likely, why wouldn't the inventor save $100 of his/her own money monthly and buy some of his own equipment, and just use the big expensive machinery at work when he needed to?
