I have posted from time to time of inventions or ideas that I find interesting, new innovations, technologies, and more.  I often make the comment that it is entrepreneur-ism at work, or that I hope they make a bunch of money, etc.  Many may consider me a “greedy capitalist” at times for my hope of f0r-profit enterprising versus strictly altruistic giving of one’s talents.  My reasons, once pondered and understood, are often much more ‘giving’ than many may give credit to.

The free market plays important roles ethically and morally as well as economically and for advancement or progression.  It can be a gauge of one’s effectiveness, of one’s desirability.  As a dipstick, profit can be most valuable, telling you what society wants or doesn’t want, what a market needs or doesn’t need, and even simply your own inability or ability as an entrepreneur.  This is not necessarily a bad thing, simply an indicator, even to let you know you still have something to learn.  These indicators are not only valid in seeing viable financial success but actual desired assistance.  The marketplace need is a cry for help, a wanting for something better.  It may not always be so dramatic such as finally gaining back the two feet of floor space by going for a flat panel TV over your ancient tube set, but the cry still exists.  Oftentimes people decide there must be a trade between satisfying the cry for help and making money when, in reality, they work best when together.  Many treat the desire to make money as a desire to exploit, abuse, and hurt those around them when they are polar opposites.  If I am not satisfying the need, no one will be willing to pay money for it in the free market.  If people are paying for it freely, they must want it and it satisfies the cry.  One can align areas of passion and satisfaction with financial success.

This leads us to the next powerful point.  Read the rest of this entry »
