The best mind we have is Edward Whitten, who would understand me.
Would you have a link to a good introduction to him? I remember Robert Persig's delight and relief at discovering James Sidis, who had been banished for one of his discoveries about American history.
I have found that most people prefer to promote their own ideas, just as they never trade in their own malformed children for healthier adoptees. If I wanted a partner/translator/promoter, I wouldn't worry if they took the lion's share of the money, as long as I had enough to continue work, and the "customers" were not being gouged too unfairly. A promoter has more need of money to synergize with their work, while it just distracts the thinkers.
The majority of the scientific discoveries of the 18th century were later recognized in the notebooks of one member of the Royal Society from the 17th. People seldom understood his presentations, and he would cover his ears and run away if another speaker made an error, but it would have really paid off if someone had taken the time to understand all he wrote.
