Not Impossible Foundation

The name says it all... a very interesting, inspirational concept.

Text from the video page below...

The name kinda says it.
We are about doing things that people never considered possible.

I guess that is what makes us different. We think that most of the things that people really need are possible. We just have to look at it from an unencumbered, non-hierarchical, apolitical, and most importantly an UNPROFITABLE point of view.

1st Rule of Not Impossible is: Talk about Not Impossible. The more people we tell about what we are doing, the more people step forward and offer their help, services, money, food, connections, etc. We say bring it.

2nd Rule of Not Impossible: We take on causes not problems. It might sounds grandiose (but so does our name so what the hell) but we want to take on causes that people have considered impossible, or just haven’t figured out yet .

3rd Rule of Not Impossible: Everybody owns what we create. Open source baby. The collective good and the collective profit. Its like the 60’s but with internet and cell phones. No one person or entity can take what we create for their sole profit.

4th Rule of Not Impossible: Document everything. This is a huge thing for us. Creating things that were thought to be Impossible is amazing, but documenting the “behind-the-scenes” process allows everyone to see how we got there and that is what will feed the beast and give rise to other people creating other “not impossible” inventions/solutions.

5th Rule of Not Impossible: Be unprofitable.

6th Rule of Not Impossible: Believe. Believe that everything is possible.
