An idea worth spreading

"They say dreaming is dead, no one does it anymore. It's not dead it's just that it's been forgotten, removed from our language. Nobody teaches it so nobody knows it exists. And the dreamer is banished to obscurity. Well, I'm trying to change all that, and I hope you are too. By dreaming, every day. Dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds. Our planet is facing the greatest problems it's ever faced, ever. So whatever you do, don't be bored. This is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting. (...) Hey, are you a dreamer?" - Waking Life

Talk to me about

Anything you dream on and they say it's impossible.

People don't know that I'm good at

Find why something won't happen now or didn't happened yet.

My TED Story

I just love the way knowledge and information flows. I just love to see things happening. For some years I've heard about TED talks and always get really impressed each time I watch a new talk. Actually, I'm dreaming about a TEDxUFV (at in Brazil).

  A comment on Conversation: What is the most important thing you've learned on your own?

  Mar 5 2013: "Learning by my own" is the most important thing I've learn by my own. When you learn that, you can learn anything else.

  I appreciated your reply here. It's really interesting that you made this 25 years ago, since it still actualized in some kind.
  
  Do you have any more material that you could spread in here, please? I would be grateful.

  A comment on Conversation: Do right and wrong exist?

  Feb 21 2013: Something can be right or wrong only in an instant time. What is wrong can be right and what is right can be wrong just a few seconds later, when something unsuspected just occurred to change everything
  
  How can you tell that some action or re-action is right or wrong when you didn't see what will happen later? I mean, what about the total consequence of all this? What if someone who did something that you thing that is wrong, but it is actually right and you didn't have the long term vision to reveal it up to yourself? And vice versa.
  
  If only God knows what is wrong and what is right it is because he domain the whole spacetime and knows it. But how can you tell something that only God knows?
  
  There is no objective wrong and right since it's a concept based on the human mind and our capacity to streamline in short-terms.

• A reply on Conversation: How to approach science to market in underdeveloped countries?

  Feb 18 2013: By communicate I mean: to realize the real needs of the market, to find out what society needs, what are the demands.
  
  Much of the technology being made in the Universities aren't really what the market nor the society need. Commonly we need to work on something we call "technology push", where the technology that was made by pure science needs to be re-shaped and re-oriented to fit the market somewhere/somehow.
  
  In the other part there is what we call "market push", where the market tell us what the society needs and science works on it.

• A reply on Conversation: A forum for people to drop their business ideas that others, seeking to start businesses can then develop

  Feb 18 2013: Hey Javier,
  
  Could you share with us the name or your platform? Is anything online yet?
  
  By the way, where in Latin America you want to launch it? I'm from Brazil and I also got interest on it.
  
  Thank you and good luck on it!

  Feb 18 2013: What if it is not protected? People have good ideias everytime but if it is only an ideia, it won't go anywhere.
  
  Sometimes you just don't won't to do it or you just don't have the opportunities, the time or the right tools. What if someone who have it, grab the ideia and make it happen?
  
  What is worst anyway: a protected good ideia that none is working at or an unprotected good ideia that someone stole and made it happen?
  
  Ideas are to make happen, not to have protect. They must be spread.

  Feb 16 2013: Carolin,
  
  There are some people applying for this kind of ideia in the open innovation field. The most complete one I've found is InnoCentive, but it still working more in the "market's challenges" sites.
  https://www.innocentive.com/
  Or as you will see, it is more likely a "market pull" than an "idea push".
  
  There is a new ideia that I really loved and its really simillar with what you thought about, but unfortunelly its a brazilian project only and the website is in portuguese. Anyway you can still check this at http://synapseshub.com/
  This is one case that is more likely an "idea push" case, where ideas can connect and make things happen.
