You accidentally discover an invention that can immediately help millions of people; but only if you act immediately. On the other hand, if you just wait three months, you can secure a patent and get rich. Which do you choose and why?
If I found an invention like this helping my fellow man would be high on my priority list; however would it be higher than making myself rich…? I think it would depend on what kind of invention this was, if it was a medical invention like something that could cure cancer or HIV yes I would introduce it to the public. However if it was something less necessary like a book page turner, I would wait for the patent and make millions and millions of dollars. What would I do with these millions of dollars; I would use the money to finance scientists to create an invention that would be as helpful as the medical cure. Therefore which ever choice I choose it will end up in a way where I help the human raceJ. I think if I actually came across an invention like either I have stated I would take time to think about how this would help mankind and keep us prospering. Once again if it would significantly alter the path of the human race, yes I would release it. However if it was something unimportant like the page-turner I would wait for the patent and make millions of dollars, but only because it would not change the path of humans whether I released it freely or not.
