Fortunately, we don't need society's support, backing nor understanding...
not even modern enlightened society's. Having Aubrey (and others)speak in
front of visionaries like Steve Case, John Scully and Robert Metcalfe opens
up the possibilities of getting one or more people with financial clout and
intellectual leverage to bring funding (and even legitimacy) to our efforts.
A little seed funding alone will do it. Once we have a proof of concept, it
will be a natural progression to human applications.

Stay on tour Aubrey.
