Sort of, and it might take some time. The short of it is that I’m less enthusiastic about impact purchase.
I want some sort of funding system that is flexible, and I think the best way to do this is to sponsor people and not project. If someone has though their past work shown competence and good judgement, I think they should be given a salary and freedom to do what they think is best.
I though the way to active this was impact purchase, but as someone pointed out in a comment, this makes for a very economical uncertain situation for the people living this way, which causes stress and short-sightedness which is not the best.
When I wrote this post, I assumed that I needed to have a plan to get a grant in the current system. But after talking to one of the fund manager of Long Term Future Fund, I found out that it is possible to get a grant by simply producing a track record and some vague plan to do more of the same. I’ve decided to try this out for my self. I’m waiting for an answer from Long Term Future Fund, and plan to write some update after I know how that goes.
If I get the grant this would prove that is is at least possible to get funding with out a clear plan. If I get rejected the concussions I take from that depends on what feedback I get with my rejection. Either way I decided to wait and see how the grant applications goes, before writing the follow up.
