X-Message-Number: 6561 Date: 19 Jul 96 16:49:39 EDT From: Paul Wakfer <> Subject: Prometheus: A Hypothetical Question It has not been made clear enough that at this point in time the Prometheus Project is essentially a pledge campaign asking a strictly hypothetical question: 1) *If* $1M/yr in pledges for 10 years is collected, and 2) *if* satisfactory scientific and business plans are developed, and 3) *if* the researchers and their projects are satisfactory to the you, and 4) *if* a corporation is formed to employ these scientists to execute these projects which issues a prospectus and share offering for that purpose, 4) *then* how much would you be willing to contribute, beginning in 1998, to share purchases of equal amounts for up to 10 years, in that corporation. No money is being requested and no investments are being solicited. If this campaign is not successful no corporation to execute the project will ever be formed. The reason why I believe that the Prometheus Project pledge campaign will be successful is that you are *not* being asked, "how much are you willing to invest in a high-risk, bio-tech R&D startup", even though any corporation which executes the Prometheus Project plan will be all of that. No, you are being asked, "how much of your present life are you willing to commit towards a very good chance at an enormously lengthened future life", and *that* is a vastly different question. -- Paul -- !!!!!
