 We need to start a decentralized health fund so we can start funding research that actually matters 

Not what the centralized pharmaceutical peddlers want to be studied 

We need more research on sunlight, grounding, mitochondrial function, EMFs and other controversial topics…

@jack If I build it, you in? 
 Crowdhealth 
 Yes crowdhealth is fantastic (I’m a customer and affiliate) but we need an actual pool of money to fund research 
 A soft fork of crowdhealth, then? 
 Perhaps 🤝 
 Same with quantum physics. At Gravimatrix we have opensourced gravity control (aka "anti-gravity") but have no funds to continue the research towards field propulsion (the most obvious practical application.) Whose consequences for our civilization would be immeasurable. 

"Research that actually matters" (meaning contradicting mainstream narratives/interests) is gaining relevance today more than ever, but there is a huge gap between the people with the money, and the generations/kinds of people that are actually capable of doing true innovative research. The former live by old paradigms, they have the desire to change the world, but they still live in the old world. The latter know how to change the world, but they live in a new world of revolutionary ideas, having broken with the old paradigms, the old world. There is a disconnection, no communication between both camps. 
 @jack is one particular exception. However he is interested in social media research, and maybe not in other fields like health or space tech, like we are. 

We need to find a way to reach out to wealthy people living in the old world, who may want to advance Mankind by supporting true innovative projects of people living in our new world of new ideas. 

So let's dream for a minute, let's imagine that someone funds our Gravimatrix project to go mine asteroids at the Asteroid Belt. The resulting astronomical profits would allow us to fund all other opensource decentralized projects, like yours, for example, and then with it we could achieve, who knows?, maybe longer lifespans? A golden age of science! Everything is possible! 

Everything is possible, we only need more Connection.  
 Well what if I told you the most important research about health is seated in quantum physics aka quantum biology 

We should chat, will send DM 
 What do you think about going broader to decentralized chem? The oil moguls back in the day sold hydrocarbons into every industry (incl. health), but at the end of the day they were just chemicals owned by an oligarchy. A decentralized green chemistry would revolutionize research in a lot of industries and open science could transform knowledge ownership. Physics underpins chemistry, it can bridge to quantum too. I wrote a quick take on decentralized green chemistry the other day... https://habla.news/a/naddr1qqxnzdesxqeryde3xvengdpeqgsrvx5qz6t663a68t54q66vgyllge6mclwvddlef5wjm3u96a3035qrqsqqqa28nlnn6t 
 All science needs to be Decentralized!
