In running an online think tank I have noticed that many people come and go who are only interested in attacking ideas or individuals in a combative way. This happens on Blogs, Internet Forums and many other online communication communities. Why does this happen? Recently in an online think tank such a combative chap came to criticize many ideas. One of the ideas was a stationary bicycle, which could also charge the spacecraft, ISS or Lunar Colony battery systems. He indicated that this was an ridiculous idea and stated; If this truly is a "think tank", then you must expect some reality to permeate it. Otherwise it's just a collection of delusions. Reality is reality, and all the happy thoughts in the world won't change it. Of course the idea originator had something to say about that comment indeed; First, I can back up every single one of my ideas, concepts and designs. Two, Your reality is not the reality, but rather a perception based viewpoint you give out before considering all the possibilities. Three, there is also a created reality and reality is a moving target. Four, the naysayers said the same thing about the first propeller powered balloons. Five, the Wright Brothers were bicycle mechanics so it is tradition. So, all of your points have been defeated you have failed to shoot down this idea and wasted both our times. That is not thinking. You have learned a valuable lesson, one I should not have to give to you considering your demeaning comment. You are not owed an explanation when you attack with baseless arguments and are too self-ashamed to use your true identity. Not to mention you are annoying and what you are doing is actually illegal. http://worldthinktank.net/wttbbs/index.php?showtopic=1680 So, use your real name and that might get us closer to a reality of your intentions. The Electric Generation Stationary fold-up bike concept for Space Flight Stands; it is a good idea and I would put one in my own spaceship, SpaceHab Capsule, Orbiting lab or small lunar or Mars colony, because it makes sense. Additionally I think Ill make one and put it in my motor home too. Okay you want redemption? I tell you what post two original ideas in any category here on this website. One to indicate you are actually a thinker and two as an apology for this comment: Reality rears its ugly head again, spewing red-hot truth to vaporize the delusions of fools. For calling me a fool. Obviously I can take it and back up every word. But some folks might feel slighted by such comments and you would have hurt their motivation to participate. I speak for them. Think on this. |
