The Mediocrity Machine
The Patented Mediocrity Machine is my brain coming up with new ideas, when I am bored.
I have two kinds of ideas:
The truly original ideas that do not come often (and will not write on this blog)
and
Mediocre but still useful ideas that are often overlooked, and I have tons of them.
I am posting my mediocre ideas because the standard of ideas in the MBA and lawyer infested pharma sector is so much worser. It is also an easy way to put ideas in the public domain in a manner that bypasses journals and a lot of innovation killing bullshit. Ideally I would like to make money from some of my ideas and I would have preferred to go via traditional channels. But in a world based on whom you know, and which lab you did your Ph.D in (you know.. the opposite of meritocracy) it is hard. It certainly does not help that even with a patent, a larger company can outlawyer you.
So this is my response…
