I care about the poor. I think they're capable of amazing things &amp; deserve a chance to prove it. I think we're missing out on a billion brilliant scientists, engineers, &amp; other problem-solvers by turning our backs on their suffering. It's time to stop playing dramatic video games that let us pretend to be heroes &amp; start saving real lives. I invented hundreds of products that I put on social media to help tech companies build services that they could sell for profit &amp; use the money to help the poor. I can promise you this: you do not want to know what they did to me instead. <a href="http://twitter.com/remixerator"><a href="http://twitter.com/remixerator" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://twitter.com/remixerator</a></a> <a href="https://medium.com/@insighterator/"><a href="https://medium.com/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://medium.com/</a>@insighterator/</a> Tech companies, the government, celebrities, &amp; other rich &amp; powerful people used their power to molest &amp; abuse me when they found out I existed, instead of investing in my time to build my inventions, so I could make money to save the poor.  They stole my inventions &amp; didn't use the profits to end poverty. I offered them my help in ending poverty &amp; they used it to make profits &amp; score compliments for themselves. They think you're stupid &amp; evil &amp; that you don't care about the poor - that you'll be happy I was abused for being smarter than them. They think you like easy more than you like hard work to help the poor, and that you'd rather live an easy life, content to watch others suffer, than lift a finger to help good people who have never had enough food or medicine, let alone a real shot at success. I think you're smart &amp; good, that you would be nauseated by their actions rather than impressed, &amp; that you would help the poor if the goal was finite &amp; therefore solvable. Luckily, it is - it would only take $654,000,000,000 to end poverty. If every person with food &amp; water contributed $100, every poor person would have food &amp; water. This amount involves food, water, medicine, &amp; a smartphone for every one of the 1 billion poorest people who have been abandoned by the tech companies, governments, celebrities, &amp; other rich &amp; powerful people. $100/person for 5 LifeStraws to give clean water for 5 years <a href="https://www.lifestraw.com/products/lifestraw" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.lifestraw.com/products/lifestraw</a> $4/person for a smart phone <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/02/18/467220085/-world-s-cheapest-smartphone-goes-on-sale-for-4-in-india" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/02/18/467220085/-world-s-cheapest-smartphone-goes-on-sale-for-4-in-india</a> $450/person for a year of food $50/person for seeds to grow their own harvest $50/person for vaccines 1 billion people ($654 per person), even though the number is probably less than a billion, more like 800 million, let's round up to be safe. This will buy clean water for 5 years, a smart phone, vaccines, and food $654 billion to end poverty - once they're not starving anymore, we'll have 1 billion more employees - if companies collaborate to provide free wi-fi &amp; if we all work to build markets to hire these people to build new projects like cheap housing, clean electricity generators, infrastructure, web tools, medicine, &amp; robots to do manual labor, as well as conducting scientific research to solve future problems &amp; make existing solutions more efficient. If you're one of the celebrities, bloggers, tech employees, government officials, or another powerful or rich person who abused me, here's your big chance to redeem yourself. I'm offering redemption at a small price - if you committed one of the following sins, here is the pricing scheme for redemption. If you pay this to the poor for each of your sins, you should forgive yourself &amp; society should move on from the past. The following amounts are in US dollars, equivalent currency, or valuable labor, and are assessed per incident. To all the "clever devils" out there who think it's clever to be evil instead of the truth, which is that it's pathetically easy, if you: - molested me or anyone else: $1 million dollars - tried to infect me or anyone else with anything: $1 million dollars - spied on me or any of my private information without my consent or did the same to anyone else: $10,000 - stole any of my work (including insights, strategies, &amp; inventions) &amp; failed to implement it in a profitable way and/or use it to help the poor, which is the whole point of why I shared my work at all instead of keeping it all in my head - severely abused or terrorized me or anyone else in any way: $10,000 - tried to get me to kill myself so no one would find out about any of the above: $every last penny you have, and if you're lucky &amp; if you made any real friends in your life, someone will take pity on you &amp; give you some clothes &amp; shoes to go panhandle in, because if you did this, you absolutely should be a beggar &amp; you should have to start from scratch. For all the morally neutral people, let's also assign a cost to more minor &amp; more understandable sins, so we can move on as a society. - if you're an asshole: $100 every time you were an asshole - if you're a minor weirdo: $100 every time you leered at someone or did something equally weird at work or school or the gym where your victims were forced to interact with you - if you're a troll: $100 for every post including hate speech - if you disrespected a good person who didn't deserve it: $100 per incident - if you lied about someone who didn't deserve it to get something you didn't deserve: $100 per incident - if you were a drunk asshole: $100 per incident - if you did something extremely annoying like listen to music without headphones on the metro or smugly corrected someone's use of language on social media or even smiled smugly (how could you, do you even have a soul): $100 per incident - if you made bad music like that one Sushi song from Post Malone, I can't even deal with you right now, please go to your room &amp; think about what you did: $100 per incident - if you were mean to a guy who asked you out just to feel good &amp; not because he did anything wrong, let's be honest, this is terrible &amp; hurts society: $100 per incident - if you were mean to a rival just because they had a quality you didn't, the move there was self-improvement: $100 per incident - blamed your farts on the dog or blamed an equivalent crime on an innocent being: $100 For all the angels out there who do crazy minor things: - if you tried to guilt someone into charity for the poor, how could you: $10 - if you snapped at an annoying person in annoyance &amp; then felt a wave of guilt because you're a god damn saint: $5 - if you swore &amp; regretted it because you're an angel: $5 - if you told a bad joke: $5, you absolute angel - if you didn't give money to a homeless person because you didn't have cash on you &amp; you felt awful about it &amp; wanted to die: $5, you saint, are you even real? - if someone got jealous of you because you're wonderful &amp; suffered at your beauty &amp; tried to hurt you: $5, just because you refuse to let your history of being abused by jealous people make you a bad person - if you made something wonderful with all of your love &amp; it made a profit: $5 to show the world that not every successful person is evil For accountability, I'm applying this same pricing scheme to myself. I was a true asshole maybe a grand total of 10 times in my life, and so I will pay $1000 to start with. Then I'll add another $500 because I tried to guilt people into charity during my life quite a few times. Then I'll add another $500 for all the other minor things I did. If you think this is a fair pricing schema, feel free to share this with other people. If you think it's totally unfair, tell me why in the comments and I will correct it. Since the limit for GoFundMe is a billion dollars - I'll make more campaigns to get this up to $654 billion if this succeeds, unless they want to increase their limit. <a href="https://medium.com/@insighterator/the-cost-of-a-sin-a150cabecafc"><a href="https://medium.com/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://medium.com/</a>@insighterator/the-cost-of-a-sin-a150cabecafc</a>
