That is lovely. I too would like to find a place to logout for a long while.
You missed my point. I didn’t mean to suggest a logout for anyone.
Being connected to reality and life is hard work.
Many people distrust science and engineering because they don’t appreciate how every sophisticated technology and abstract facts are connected to observations from the human senses back when we studied natural philosophy. This is the chain of observations spanning thousands of years and generations. Eventually, that body of knowledge was called science. Every technical fact we know can be traced back through this chain of human observations. Along the way, we build tools to extend our senses. Now, we can “see” and measure electron positions and gravity waves. It is not magic and belief. It is the chain of hard work by many people.
Similarly, connecting our individual emotions and values to society, to the world, and to the universe is hard work. It takes us beyond our animal instincts. In Zen, this effort is the work to achieve enlightenment.

Build an institute to teach an appreciation of natural philosophy and Zen.
(I need to think more about generalizing alternative development to spiritual connections.)
Many people have lost (or lack) a connection to both approaches to reality.

I would like to fund in three areas.
Quantum computer design. It is the next revolution in the computing world.
Building programmable network routers that are sufficiently quick to handle network packets at line speeds. In the meantime, router functions can be updated as easily and economically as software updates. This will solve the problem of Internet ossification. The deployment of new Internet technologies such as IPv6 will thus become easy.
Home robots design. This may include cleaning, cooking, and babysitting robots. They can free housewives from day to day housework. As a result, more women will be able to contribute to the advance of computer networks

Subject: Re: [NNagain] if you had a billion dollars
thx for your thoughts! I have a fear that the other 175 other people
here that have not posted yet have all our emails are going directly
into their spam bin, so I wanted with this post to encourage people to
lean back, relax (smoke one if you got 'em! Put on some great record
on the stereo too), and propose spending an arbitrary billion $ on
something they think would be good for the computing and internet
world.
It is otherwise such an inoptimistic world nowadays. I was delighted
to see the whole earth catalog back online:

I wouldn't:
o) Buy an island in Hawaii
o) Buy a house that's more than 2000 sq ft
o) Buy a boat
o) Have 11 kids with multiple women
o) Fund anti aging research
o) Try to build rockets to mars, unless the project hired minorities to
do so

What would *you* do with a billion dollars?
