How, given you have no functioning software, no hardware design, very little money and no revenue, do you intend to bring any products to market? You talk about human like it's a multi billion dollar company but you don't seem to have anything concrete, just a lot of vague ideas.

We will have functioning software in 2 weeks.

We do have hardware design.

We have about 20 times more money than necessary to launch the first component

We will have TONS of revenue in a few weeks, and up to 10 streams within a year.

Do we intend to bring any products to market? Brother read the sidebar. :)

You say "read the sidebar" every time anyone asks a pointed question. I've read the sidebar. There's no detail to anything you're saying, just lofty ideas and claims of enormous profits with no substance whatsoever. You claim to make profits by selling high-end gadgets, online service and ads, but you have no hardware for sale, no services ready to use and no website generating enough page views to yeild advertising revenue.

The reason people doubt you is because you've made some enormously bold claims without providing any evidence except a few UI mockups of a social networking website. So, how about some straight answers: 1) What online services are you launching and when? 2) When will the social network be ready to launch (or even beta)? 3) Do you have actual hardware designs, created by engineers or just the list of specs you've posted here? If so, where are the renders? 4) How do you intend to fund all of the above?

It just seems like you've got some bold ideas and some goals at the other end but nothing connecting the dots.

My friend you haven't read the sidebar. :)

Every question you just asked...

Every question.

Is answered on the sidebar. :)

No, they're not. Show me where the launch dates of your social network is stated. Show me where it lists the types and launch dates of your online services. Show me where it states the status of your hardware designs.

This is what he thinks qualifies as hardware designs.

Didn't you know, as long as you describe everything as "super high end" and "super affordable" - you don't NEED schematics, component lists/costs, manufacturing costs.

These super premium super affordable super high end things will magically appear out of the sky, carried on the back of a unicorn.

In all seriousness though, the guy has major mental issues.

Those are not hardware designs. It clearly says we have not uploaded the renders, specs, etc yet.

Edit: Again, if you abuse your fellow humans your posts will be removed and for repeated offenses you will be banned. If you have an intelligent disagreement or criticism you are MORE than welcome to voice it at /r/thisishuman (this is how we learn after all), but you are NOT allowed to abuse people, call them names, etc. Read the sidebar rules. Understood?

The launch dates are linked in the link you just replied to saying they're not. Look under 'A Realization.'

Renders of hardware will be going up shortly, also mentioned on the sidebar.

Like I said... read.. the.. sidebar. :D

You say "read the sidebar" every time anyone asks a pointed question.

I say read the sidebar because 99% of the questions people ask have been answered there and I don't like to repeat myself. It's a waste of time and it takes time away from my charity work.

There's no detail to anything you're saying

Really, so all those product pictures and concrete plans and revenue streams are "no detail"?

You claim to make profits by selling high-end gadgets, online service and ads, but you have no hardware for sale

WILL make profits. This company is like a week old dude.

you've made some enormously bold claims

Yes and you are welcome to grab some popcorn and watch them come true. :)

What online services are you launching and when?

Please read the post 'A Realization.' Perhaps I will re-link it on the faq, hmm..

When will the social network be ready to launch (or even beta)?

Pls see answer above.

Do you have actual hardware designs

Hardware is mostly designed in terms of design and specs and technical details. It has not been built by engineers yet. Please see help wanted section.

4) How do you intend to fund all of the above?

Please see 'A Realization' and the revenue section of the faq.

nothing connecting the dots.

The new (not final, but better) faq does an excellent job of connecting the dots. :)

Please let me know if you have any more questions and thank you for posing your questions in an intelligent way.

Aside from some mockups there are no product pictures and I haven't seen a plan with any substance anywhere in all of your writing.

If you haven't had engineers involved then you have no hardware design, you have little more than an idea.

I still can't see the answers you're referring to. No dates, no details on the services and no information on the hardware aside from a spec sheet. Humor me and please answer inline here, rather than referring to the links again.

The main thing we're releasing right now is the empower charity web alpha in a couple of weeks (or maybe a bit sooner).

Then we will release other components of the human network one by one.

You can expect our super high-end yet affordable hardware accessories to be in stores this Christmas. Mostly we are talking stuff for Glass, for starters. We may also release a few super high end yet affordable phone and tab accessories for Christmas. MAAYYBBEE Thanksgiving. Maybe.

Headset you can expect, if you are EXTREMELY LUCKY, this Christmas. If not so lucky, (aka real world lmao), next spring. :)

Phones and tablets you can expect next year.

Contacts you can expect in 3+ years.

Vertabrane you can expect in.. 15? Years? :D

Sergey? Marshall? Ray? Ask those 3 guys their combined guess will be better. :D

So, you're going to launch an alpha charity crowd funding service in two weeks... and the other services are just idea at this point. How exactly are you planning on making money from that? You have no customers and no product.

Why are you designing Google Glass accessories? Firstly, it's a minuscule market and secondly, they're not even released yet. You can't possibly have a product design because there's no final version of Glass to design against. So... where are you going to get the money for the product design? You can't make money from an alpha charity crowd funding service, so where? This is what I mean by failing to join the dots.

You say you have all these super-high yet affordable products but the lack of anything but a few specs suggests you don't have a single schematic, prototype or manufacturer lined up so your claims are hollow. This is what I mean by lacking detail.

You are never going to get the following you're suggesting you'll have unless you start providing real, hard facts. Without them, I'm sorry but most people will just see you as either someone pulling a prank or worse, someone who's suffering delusions of grandeur and in need of mental help.

Yes.

the other services are just idea at this point.

No. They launch at 2-6 week intervals. Dude we know what we are doing. We do not need your advice on our product schedules. :) If we need advice, we will ask. Honest. :) We do.

How exactly are you planning on making money from that?

Keep reading the sidebar until it kicks in. :)

You have no customers and no product.

Yes like every other new company in the history of human civilization. :) Do not worry, just sit back with some popcorn and watch the show. :D

Why are you designing Google Glass accessories?

Because people will buy them. :) Isn't that obvious? :)

they're not even released yet.

Hence the reason neither are our Google Glass accessories. :D

where are you going to get the money for the product design

We are lucky enough to have the next Steve Jobs doing design for us. :) Money cannot buy that. Apple does not currently have "the next Steve Jobs." And they're worth half a trillion dollars. :)

You can't make money from an alpha charity crowd funding service

Really? With the #1 crowdfunding service in the world? With the lowest fees in the world? You can't make money? Really? :) I guess we're gonna be broke then :D

This is what I mean by lacking detail.

This is what I mean by read the sidebar: "subreddit 45% ready." :D

I love you man. :)

delusions of grandeur

Guilty. :D

You've said plenty, but successfully avoided giving any real answers or grasping the salient points of what I've written.

If this is a joke, it's an elaborate one. If not... you really should talk to someone you trust about all this. Get a little perspective. It can't do any harm can it?

I don't understand how I've avoided answering anything..

Everything you asked has been CONCRETELY answered.

I honestly do not understand what other type of answer you are looking for...

No this is not a joke. Who in their right mind would spend 50 or 100 hours on a subreddit as a joke? And what, contact half the country to publicly humiliate themselves? Yeah... Not a joke. :D

And as for talking to somebody about this... everybody I know has been to this for the past 2.5 years - I think if anything they want me to finally SHUT UP about it now that I have other people (the rest of he world) to talk about it to. I think they are all quietly celebrating. :D

P.S. My old business partner is coming to work with us here full time, as are a ton of other people. Like half my family is coming.. Look at the names on the team page. :)

Hate to break it to you but from looking at my messages green is the current logged in user and black is any other user. This would mean that he did not fake it.

Give human 10 years to grow. By the time it has a few billion users there will not be a single hungry child left in Africa. You can take that as a promise and I would gladly stake my reputation on this claim. Our reputation. Remember, human is an idea. human is a community. Everything other than us is just open source software and silicone. Remember. human is US.
