On this first day of February in 2023, I invite everyone to carry on an experiment — with news and social media — that rewards all of us in the future. The experiment is simple: use email and other media at your disposal to send a brief request to respected news media. Participating in the experiment entitles you to a memorable part in writing the headline of human history. This is what we will do when enough of us make the following request:
Report and reveal how thought overwhelms ignorance as you tell us the truth about the best in us to build an inspiration system on the truth of achievement for our benefit.
"Copy, paste and send" to those who have the power to focus our attention in the national conversation we carry on via the media. When the first two words — or all 32 words — of this message reach enough people in enough news organizations enough times, they will focus attention brilliantly on the best in people for our individual and collective benefit. News businesses serve the public — us — and they pay attention what we want. It - excellent coverage of excellence - is in their economic interest.
Millions of us can "do the write thing" routinely in our economic interest. What happens then is that excellent coverage of excellence generates the excellence programming from which we all benefit. Children grow up with access onscreen to the most capable, caring, accomplished people in virtual conversations that can go on forever. New media technology available to news organizations make possible programming that enriches us by engaging us in fascinating explorations of us at our best.
We will use the story of achievement reported brilliantly as an educational device of enormous power. We will write the headline of human history as "thought overwhelms ignorance" in the story we want reported in our economic interest. If you want to do this simple but powerful "solid" for our collective good, send those folks in the best news organizations a request that they focus our attention on the best in human beings by reporting on it in detail.
