- In what is the advantage of an internet-platform for publications?
- Perhaps, you may to save your own time? Do you reduce the period of negotiations and correspondence? Do you get in the accelerated mode a new life experience?
- Do you need this experience and in this volume? And what will be with results of your literary creativity?
- Who should answer these questions?
- Why I am convinced - intuitively? - that the total annual revenues from sale of all paper and electronic books is a quite noticeable and is giving a considerable amounts of money?

23. The Sketch about a Timekeeping
- What size of the grant?
- 1000000.
- How many minutes need to be fulfilled?
- 840. That is, 14 hours - 60 minutes in each.
- It's a lot, but we will make "packages" - 2 hours each. We will try to do the all within 7 days.
- So ... 1000000 ... 840 ... And how many ideas?
- Internet filters work in online. On average, 1 idea comes in a 10 minutes period.
- But the themes of the ideas, the levels, quality of the ideas - are the different ...
- That's why they gave you 840 minutes. For 840 minutes you will receive 84 ideas. Of these, 10 percent, that is 8.4-well, rounded, - 10 ideas - more or less of a normal level and quality.
- And a literary and intellectual factories? A personal intellectual slaves?
- In these options there are elements of doubt, some risk. Why do we need to be the dubious? These are options for the fussy. The intelligent Internet crowdsourcing is a thing socially accepted and endorsed.
- You're right!
- The ideas need to be been effective presented ... At rather high level of abstraction.
- You are right. An idea is the abstraction. An idea isn't attached to any personality.
- The quantity us is small. But - and grants there isn't a lot of.
- The budget is not a rubber.
- In general, " hurry slowly." A slow, brooding way of a speaking. All sorts of emotional "seasoning". "Civilization" - "outstanding achievements" - "we" - "startups" - "discourses" - "modeling of the future". Well, in the same spirit. It is not a dogma. Of course, creativity is welcome.
- It isn't necessary to hurry with the presentation of ideas. You're "pull a thought", and ideas from the Internet are "dropping". All sorts of schoolboys, students, intellectual volunteers, suddenly left without work, restless pensioners. Also it isn't forbidden to others. You "abstract" the ideas, - you clean the ideas, as far as possible, from authorship. Also you insert the ideas into a weaves of words.
- And 1000000 in our pockets!
- Yes!
- You are a genius!
- The burlak - the barge hauler - of industrialization!
- Nevertheless not everything is so simple ...
- Well, it is clear ... Not yesterday were born ...
- Turn on the toggle-switch!
- We begin the intellectual movement!

24. The Monologue about the Petya's Father is Good at Arithmetic
The schnauzer is walking along a street to the radio station and thinking.
"What is a strange tradition? No matter who from our trained community came to the radio station, no of them is possible to say anything a differ. They speak about the same thing: motorists are careless people. We need to train them more.'
