Innovation can be centrally planed if you mean government promoted or discouraged. Our patent system and improvements on it improve incentives to create and conversley disincentives and corruptions discourage it and shutdown job creation and human advancement

Dont forget the best defence is a good offence balanced powers are the key to lasting peace where dictators are involved. Do you think hitler would have invaded poland looking at 1200 nucular weapons or a conventional force like our iraq campaign I think not

No without my invention of the icbm we would not have developed the icbm and any of my other inventions like the space program we would be at 1953 invention level when my grandfather died

Blair your opinion is a product of the continuing evolution of the accumulating pile of balognia concerning actual invention conception. Advaances in surgury are from me. Nothing goes back to the 17th century except rock sharpened pointed wooden stick throwing spears and the intentionally dug den or cave. The first machine gun the gattling gun and produced at the port huron engine and thrasher company by Isiah Robets along with all union army munitions and weapons including repeating small arms was invented by my greatgrandfather in 1864 to save washington DC from being taken from the confederates It was also likely involved in retaking the alimo from the confederates Thomas Edison invented nothing he was a thief

Fire was 1803 at flint michigan by George Roberts who also invented farming in 1819 with the invention of drag cultivators I invented the peaceful use of nucular power with the powerplant invention as a small child.

Your perception of where those garage guys ideas startout at is a bit off. When you talk of all these iconic thieves remember the list is very short of where they got there IP from and have never paid for me and three grandfathers for. Actually the government conspiracy to defraud these great men is long and heiniosly and deadly corupt. I an still crawling before government regulators to have my ideas stolen through the patent system with only recent justice regressions not improvements called patent reform. and as a result 1400 plus new inventions dont exist to create new jobs and human advancement in all fields.

government sponsored R+D expendaures have been a nearly total waste of money whenever my select conceptions arent used . They have never given the master inventor control of anything reguarding this program . Without the top breakthrough conceptions and experiments being invested in the odds of financial sucess are nearly nonexistant therefor investment should be non existant. Tou cant just throw money at an idea indefinately with out any progress and you wont get any good valuable ideas or innovations without masterinventor involvement and ownership of intrest.

The wright brothers and Edison nor Fulton or Watt invented nothing they stole glory and money for my grandfathers inventions

I would disagree with that nothing of significence would exist without myself back to my birth in 1953. And nothing in the past without my 3 grandfathers to 1803.

Ive been working with the concept that ive created everything in significant conception since 1953. I think I did the battle tank or major improvement with kozloski of tyco fame at his hoby shop along with everything elso he claims in early 1960s. The automabile was invented by Delbert Roberts in 1883 the desoto in port huron mi. That should be only 4 men have improved on what there father invented. the Railroad was invented in 1810 in port huron mi by George Roberts Delberts grandfather
