Review of The Dropout Series

Knowing the prototype works but require real world testing before building final process or product & then floating out in the retail & trading;

VS.

Knowing prototype doesn’t work but pestered for real world testing & wherein the prototype didn’t work either way, yet been floated in the retail & trading.

Theranos case belongs to latter. A scene where the non-workable prototype Edison device is tested on Cancer patients drew the line for me. In one of my IP blogs, I’ve written about why every Invention should be made to require segregated details of the specific contributions made by each inventor, to, why the Non-Disclosures which could be easily recognized as voidable, void, void-ab-initio, such concerns should be addressed.

Herein, no prototype was working, yet, that prototype, first as a final product/process, and then, passed off other workable products as their own, was floated in the retail & trade; and as everyone was bound by the Non Disclosures, which even took the life of a Biochemist Gibbons, & other involved qualified middle class slaves; such acts were flabbergasting. But here the absolute fault isn’t even of people alike Holmes. The likes of forbes under 10, 20, 30, that inflate pretentious ballons, to slogans alike live fast die young or fake it till you make it; else would be considered amongst as Losers, be also condemned. Or further, individuals alike on-screen Balwani, who pester youngsters to cross all boundaries merely for others to respect you at all cost.

Not all systems are transparent indeed. So goes for India, wherein since 1947, post 800 years of proselytism & loot; furthermore, the loot & proselytism continued.

The only concern in the series is, that so many inventors, scientists, reviewers; who weren’t bound by the NDA, yet, none noticed or tested, as how the impossible of testing with few drops of blood, N numbers of tests, became even possible? Harry Potter’s Magic?

The on-screen characters were synced so much in their roles that after a point one could not have differentiated between the real Elizabeth & Seyfried. Those Eyes, especially.

The Dropout is worth a watch that differentiates between invention and innovation.
