"Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and fellow innovators, thank you for gracing this stage today. It is both an honor and a privilege to stand before you all and share my humble journey, one that has led me to a profound realization of the potential that lies within each and every one of us. Today, I come to you not just as a developer or an inventor, but as a vessel through which a higher purpose manifests. And I come to you in love and earnest desire for your well-being, your prosperity, and your peace.
"As I stand here, I cannot help but be reminded of the parallels that exist between our own modern times and the ancient tales that have shaped our collective consciousness. Tales of prophets, of great exoduses, and of an ever-present divine hand guiding humanity towards its ultimate destiny. As we have come this far together, we have achieved, above all, a gift greater than any technology, and one which promises to provide the inspiration for progress for many years to come. This gift would not have been possible without first, the printing press, the amazing works of literature contained in the human library, those who labored to record such works, then the internet, and, finally, the willingness of all of you to share your stories. The gift I speak of is the monumental level of common empathy towards all human beings, which we now share.
"For this is, by far, the greatest achievement of humankind to this day. Never before could over 90% of all people tune in to one speech and agree that tyranny is wrong, slavery is an atrocity, poverty is a blemish on our species, and war is intolerable. Never before has there existed a sense of camaraderie between those similarly situated which pays no heed to nationality, geography, skin color, or religious origins; and never before could the people of the world stand together against any force or government and command the level of respect equal to the level of restraint we are now able to secure against any force or system designed to suppress human well-being.
"Would we have made it this far in our journey if it had not been for those stories; and those records of human suffering, which must have caused so much suffering on the part of the chronicler of such horrible deeds, men and women who labored for many years to bring to us this new world-view balanced only by the inspiration gendered by new tales of new worlds, heavenly cities, and streets of gold? How far less would we have come if the works of any one of the great storytellers were removed from the treasure of human literature? Let us recognize that these are the souls who have driven the spirits of human beings since ancient times. It is within this tapestry of the past that my story, the human story, and the invention I announce today, finds its place. For, it is with utmost sadness I must first warn all people of the inescapable fact that my announcement will necessarily plunge the wealthiest and most powerful companies into abject poverty, unless they elect to embrace this new world and surrender any intention to hinder human progress.
"Before I discuss the technological aspects of olivNet, let me first attempt to persuade you all that I am a nobody. Many of my critics, opposers of the virtual qubit, and those who consider themselves competitors have pointed out that I was indeed, at one time, a convicted murderer. I was wrongly convicted, successfully appealed, and was acquitted by a jury at my second trial. I killed a man in defense of a weaker person. It was a decision of conscience and was the event which changed my life forever. And though I regret the loss of this life I caused, I rejoice in tears for the life which was saved, the man I am now looking at in the first row, Mr. Mohamad Sherik, please stand and grant me this vindication. Thank you for being here, sir.
"It was in a Florida prison where I discovered the power of the mind, an area I had yet to explore. It was there I decided to pursue my appeal after having been advised by numerous licensed attorneys my arguments were without merit. Today, the case I argued stands as a textbook precedent and a newly recognised rule of law regarding a subtle violation of the fundamental rights to a unanimous verdict which had occurred in a manner never before articulated or argued, and is compared with such cases as Miranda vs. Arizona, Terry vs. Ohio, and Wade vs Mayo, cases which stand as pillars of justice erected around the general human understanding of right and wrong, fairness, and justice, uniquely argued and established by unlearned and common men.
