If I did discover an new invention that could help millions of people, I would choose to act immediately, rather than wait three months and get rich. This is because new inventions and technologies help civilizations to develop, in history and still today. One new invention can help the people become more efficient, and it can even be a matter of life and death, such as with the inventions of new medicines. Inventions lead to even more inventions and technologies that will continue to help the people, and it doesn't really matter that one person gets rich from the invention, just that it helps the people. For example, the invention of steel in Europe allowed the people to build stronger and more sturdy swords and armor, and therefore they had an advantage to other civilizations throughout the world. This invention really helped them in conquering the New World because the people there did not have this technology. It does not matter exactly who the inventor of steel was, but the invention helped the people develop and expand. For these reasons, if I made a new invention, I would want to share it with the people right away so they could benefit from it.

ReplyDeletei would disagree because it doesn't say people will die right away
so nobody's dying and you're rich
