Default Re: Verb-Agreement Confusion

The author starts by saying, forget institutionalized science, in the past, most discoveries and inventions were by the lone eccentric - let's get back to that.
Yes. I t was necessary to work alone because there was little institutionalized science and no MITs.
He goes on:
"In this respect the Open Research Establishment will be the central catalyst for sustainable development consisting initially of over 20,000 intuitive and inventive scientists, engineers, technologists and technical support personnel. Additionally the ORE-STEM will create further employment throughout the world where after 20-years of operations some 500 million people will find 'new' work and thereafter increasing year-on-year. Increasing with the development of over 1,000 ORE-Satellite Incubator Centres throughout the world (one for every 6 million of the world's inhabitants), the ORE's wealth creating mechanism will provide work for all nations through the exploitation of mankind's inner thoughts and their sciences. All this will bring forth a four-fold increase in global trade. Indeed, by the start of the 22nd century the concept of the ORE will have grown to create a one-nation world that lives in harmony and co-operation. No other global mechanism will produce such a future 'vision' and provide for a peaceful world order.

Some see the end of the world; others, as this writer, envisage Utopia.
I don't want to discuss his 'vision' other than, with regard to the one-nation world: history continues, in that the Russian Federation disintegrated; Scotland wants it's independence from England; and in Iraq, Sunni and shiite want separate nations within the old Iraq.Nevermind what it took to get the EU going, and how some countries fiercely want to maintain a certain 'independence' within the Union.
