I eagerly submitted my (admittedly brilliant) idea secure in the knowledge that this great company would recognize the necessity for long term change management and implementation. The 5 top choices where due to be released in Feb 09. It was then pushed out till March. And then… nothing. I sadly gave up the experience to a rather gifted and original thinking scammer.

And then last week – with no bells and whistles (not surprisingly) the results where in. I won’t bother with relaying their choices (see them here) as they are to disappointing to repeat. Let me quickly say something; every cause deserves its recognition, funding and support as we all know there is a lot wrong with our world – but really!

Where is the vision? Where is the bigger picture understanding? Where is the original ‘up yours’ Google ethos? Was the entire exercise merely a way to donate an large amount of money to existing charities? If Google REALLY wanted to create impact that 10 million could have gone a long way. Small projects dotted here and there all over the globe will achieve nothing!

If they would – all the existing projects would have already acheived their goals

They haven’t

We have to work with the cause and not the symptom

So here is my take: I am beginning to think in the world power/Illuminati/ secret order theories because – there is no other explanation! If a company like Google can’t find the balls to tackle our issues then I can’t think of other companies that will. There is obviously a vested interest in maintaining poverty, ignorance and devastation.

I’m about to get into a serious scathing session here so I’d better stop because guaranteed there is a Google Geek monitoring me right now and accessing all my purchase choices, political affiliations, social habits and sleeping schedules. Bloody hell.

Bring back Aristotle, Socrates, Michael Angelo, Einstein – where have all the great thinkers gone?
