Increasingly funding is being directed at more diverse areas.
For example, 21 million dollars was awarded to the Fine-Arts department at Concordia, and others, to study, among other topics, wearable computers.
Similar sources of funding require excellence in both technical (new inventions and new mathematical theories) AND contextual (the broader intellectual landscape) areas.
Examples of previously un-tapped funding organizations that we should approach include FDL (an organization that funds contemporary practices at the crossroads of art, science and technology) and the George Soros Foundation. These funding orgainzations will appreciate our work because it combines the technological innovation and mathematical rigour of our new inventions with a social awareness and a deep concern for the greater humanistic purposes.
For example, here's an excerpt from the material on the Soros Foundation:
Do not think for a moment that your status as a relatively law abiding and loyal citizen will save you from the long arm of the government. George Soros recounts just how little being a law abiding and loyal citizen can do for you when it's too late. He explains in his latest book how, when he was thirteen, he was tasked with delivering notices to the Jewish community of Budapest, Hungary ordering them to appear at the Rabbinical Seminary with food and clothing the following day. On the advice of his father he informed those he delivered the notice to that they would be deported when they showed up. One man told him "They can't do that to me. I've always been a law-abiding citizen." The following day he was sent to a concentration camp.
