Hi Brain… I was told that you the go-to guy with advice.

I have a very interesting one, far too much to type but in a nutshell, I invented an entertainment device and accidentally unlocked a bunch of world firsts and an entirely undiscoveted field of scientific study.

The device is also the world only working demonstration of principals that have only ever been thought to be philosophy…

That means once my invention makes it
those things will no longer be philosophy and it will change the way we understand the world

I did this in a few months but the with the device I went from idea to working proof of concept in 48 hours… I did it with Zero budget (Only what was in front of me), from my apartment in South Africa

My closest competitor is Sony and Microsoft and Sony spends 20 Billion over a decade to produce a new device, And currently they have nothing close to what I have

If I gave them another decade they probably wouldnt come close. Lol

I found an American investor who hasnt proven to be willing to invest anything meaningful

The issue I have is this is a pandoras box… Once you see it you cant unsee it and once people cotton on I will become the most ripped off man in history

I can accept my losses past the fact of my machine, but I just cant gain any traction.

Investment infrastructure is non-existent in South Africa, we are also across a barrel with racial laws, and when I approach anyone international they immediately write me off as a Nigerian Prince Scammer.

All the major players exist behind what I call the Digital Iron Curtain :sweat_smile: but its true

Im holding things that could earn Nobel prizes but nobody will even have the conversation with me

And tbh its a conversation I wouldnt be able to have without at least $200 Million on the table.

What the heck do I do here man

The world has a lot to gain from this and it will take me out of being broke in a semi 3rd World Country

I need an urgent assist if you have the time
