I've never had a collective thought ever. Sounds like telepathy.

I haven't gotten much help asking for collaboration in the past 5 yrs either.

All the potential internet collaborators that pop up quickly with lots of talk seem to dissipate into
just hot air when it comes to scheduling activities...

I think crowd funding is great, and it happens for short term goals and deliverables, and then you're back
to toiling alone mostly to generate advances to tech or science. Teams that work together seem to need
job/money glue to hold together. So the plan needs to be to get to a money level where you can hire
engineers and scientists if you have a big involved research goal. I'm going to get there
by crowd-funded lab gear. It will be open. Someone else can be making it four or ten years from now.
