but, last night while i dreamed, two big things came out with me, one was lost. i dreamt of being a satiric one woman show, where the comedy is the biting truth I see. doing that in the south, nawlins maybe or in a dark countryside speakeasy. I wonder if they still have those as when i was in central - montgomery/tuskegee, alabama in the late 80s.
then much later into sleep, most recent, I had some business idea, and for the life of me, i cant remember it at all. but in the dream i went on to construct what would be necessary to make the idea come to life, and that is what i wake up with. some kind of idea nation. a place where unemployed males could consign themselves to do any number of changing tasks, working on projects, being the labor, hand and feet, brains for one innovation or another. a place where they come to make their ideas into manifestation, and they do it for each other, and the conveners of such a place. a place where you can build and write apps, test, and implement them, and also be a salvage yard of old, unused, and garbage machinery and cars for those who are still so inclined. see...my vehicle is what spurred this. a man was brought to see my vehicle yesterday, and he is the kind of male i detest engaging or even responding to. You see I have an internal radar for misogyny and obnoxious male over masculinity...and i sense it, i see it perhaps as energy, and vibration. people like that speak in very condescending forms, ask stupid questions because they think you are stupid, and overall try to undercut and undermine your position by elevating theirs by importance and heaviness. sometimes the contradictions in their comments to reality cues you in to their bullshit. but turns out this guy own one garage that does "everything" from engine, to drivetrain, to tires, to bodywork, to painting, and lord knows what else, if his "everything" is everything. well. he also purchases vehicles for customers because the person who brought him , bought a vehicle from him, he importing it for her. anyway, this man tried to tell us, of all his labors and worries should he take the car...the value, the discovery of unexpected problems, the bumper which he shakes...all reinforcing things I had told him bu that is the thing people do to try and cut you down and i dont even want to be bothered. If you gotta go through that, this aint the car for you. this vehicle is for one who is a collector, one who values old reliables, of a certain specific code of beauty and level of maintenance. the vehicle is meticulous, low mileage. and yet, the negro never had one good thing to say, not of the mileage, not of the condition of the interior or exterior. i hope he never comes back
but it got me thinking. I wish i could take my car to a garage like that. I have no idea why or how that place never was shown to me, supposedly he is in my neighborhood...but to take my vehicle to such a garage and tell them to rebuild it from drive frame up and out. everything rebuilt, recycled, refurbished and reapplied, when possible. and pay whatever that is.
so that is where i got the idea of that place. IdeaNation. a place that is my idea and creation, that i take the myriad ideas i conjure up to, and have the manpower to convert to reality. and them doing that for themselves. I am convinced it is a worthwhile model.
I had a friend tell me how it is I allow all these men and young boys in the neighborhood to be so idle, why I dont set up something for their productivity. well. this is such a thing.
but i think of me. I have so many ideas and neither a drop of money, no backing or support, nor the resources to make the products , problem solving happen.
this place could be a clean up site/ a recycling bay, for everything. and see what is made and explore to be made with the raw inputs.
but you see the thing is, these men and young males will be there working on these projects, not just as labor but as owners, they will own and benefit from their work and productions. you make a car from scrap, it is yours.. just written and cataloged under a roster of productivity of the Foundation...
anyway, I am getting into unnecessary detail.
Learie Hercules, does this make any sense to you.
I know i write about mechanics, but there is also technology, but what i see is that the males are into a range of things not just technology. there are a whole bunch of men who are still into doing the old hand work of building, ironworks, woodworking, mechanics, etc.
also, a big part of this IdeaNation is to create enabling for the innovator. To build walls around their work, ideas, their process and productivity, to keep the negativity and retardation away from them. to create a bubble so to speak where they can move forward freely.
I think how almost a year ago I tried to partner with Ashesi University, look it does not even tag up, i think the wife of the creator must be managing social media because the level blockage and guard as well as nonresponses to my submissions... and yes specific things here on fb make me to think it is a personal dynamic...
The means by which this can work would be an endowment, corporate gifts in the millions that are neither small, nor one-offs, but annually, and not something we must go cap in hand for but an annual line item that is never questioned, parsed or stopped.
I think i am on to a model: revised, renewed, returned, expanded.
One of the collective. One of the eschewing of money. We are going to get to a time when money becomes obsolete. And we will be forced to navigate, purchase and agree on the value of things to exchange, work together and build. It is what Roderick means when he says I am here to teach a new approach, a new way of life..
The question i have is how long will it take to get into that mode. How long will we have to wait for the human beings to take this forward. current ones being so unbelievably crass, obnoxious and selfish about money, means, resources. this gloating attitude of I have and you dont and your not having makes me that much elevated. ..that specie...is holding this back. but the contradiction is that the need, the raw inputs and the unemployed males and labor all exist already, now , and languishing.
i will pick this up again, soon, I am sure

You know too...writing about this this morning, made me realize what 'legacy' is and is not. i ask myself what is the benefit of a free education, so called, when it does not make you independent of systems, limitations, gates and guards? what is the benefit of that education when we have almost all those people unemployed in a system? what have you really done if you have not built an enabling environment for entrepreneurship, productivity, future creation, etc. etc...or dismantled all the structures that keep a population and a nation retarded? where is the innovation of education? when in that free education the material is the same as was thought as fifty years ago, well, one tweak, it has less material.? I shant go on. if you keep building old structures and means you arent doing us any favors. none.
