My thanks again to Francesco Rizzuto for moving the TDG forward in his own way. If another 100 Medium contributors were doing the same, I have to wonder whether the world would be in a better position today.

Today, I got a comment from Rosemarie McAllister:

As this is a response, not a full article, I'm not sure how this link will work for you. But Rosemarie had a profound quote:

"We are mired in victim hood and complaint."

That quote really says a lot as to our state of mind.

-------------------

I first thought of the TDG in 1992 and started writing about in 1997, which tells you that I'm on the same side of the age divide as Francesco. I seem to be talking to the people of the same age--and cannot reach the young people on Medium.

Or maybe there aren't any young people here.

About a year ago, I wrote an article about how my fan base can help the TDG out:

Regardless, you can take the form letter of that article, make some small changes, and send it to the young people on your email list. Something that won't take you even one hour.

BTW, I just got my first viral article on Medium (after 3.5 years).

I'm pretty sure this article had some outside help. I'm not sure why or how.

I didn't get the tangible results I would have liked, but more people got exposed to the TDG idea. It was interesting to read the strong opinions of the TDG (both good and bad) when I doubt few of them actually read my book.

The article after this article is getting my historical traction. Maybe I used up my 15 minutes of Medium fame.
