Ann, I’ve been working on this project for 22 years, albeit the project was on the shelf collecting dust a lot of that time. I brought it out in 2016 as I thought the rise of Mr. Trump would cause some Americans (and other world citizens) to question the electoral processes that put this kind of person in high office. It seems I was wrong, and I wrote a Medium article about that.

About a year ago, I was going to put my project back on the shelf again. There was a fellow from a G+ political group suggested writing a piece of fiction based on the future TDG. The novel is coming along quite well and should be ready by mid-January. We shall soon see.

In the meantime, it is good for my ego that you applaud my work. But the TDG needs more than that to move forward. Tell your friends and colleagues.

“Improving ourselves” is indeed important. The TDG cannot work with our collective psyche.

But our current dysfunctional politic system will not convince enough people to improve themselves. So our current collective psyche is stuck in a rut. Chapter 9 describes this situation.

Rather than trying to convert 51% of citizens into becoming better characters, the building of the TDG will require the 1% with good character to show by example how this system will work.
