Why I can give you something special: How many people do you know who graduated cum laude in two years from the largest state university? Or, ace'd 24 credit hours in one period? (transcript) My resume lists other top shelf achievements.
My business model gives away Timism, Inc., directly to supporters instead of going thru venture capitalists. In a few years, Timism will have a "market cap" of $10 to $15 billion (400 to 600 million shares at about $25 per lifehour share). Within this stock give-away is one million share per essay to the first newspaper that prints and bills six key Timism essays. They are newsworthy in their own right, e.g., CO2, Killer Molecule. In addition, the byline reporter(s) reviewing an essay will receive 100,000 shares for self and/or donation.
Other avenues of profit-sharing have been programmed, e.g., one-time brainbees as well as a series of brainbees worth millions in revenues via Dollar Democracy. Brainbees are scalable internationally. Anywhere, public or private, any human decision-making process can be brainbee'd based on two constants: the nation's ICANN code and the postalcode of the building in which the decision is made--see Super-Brainbee (middle of page). For instance, the Miami Herald could have a regular employee feedback brainbee uniquely qualified as US-33172-????. Similarly, the daily daisy-chains of readers' feedback could be brainbee'd with readers prioritizing most relevant feedback--see New York Times columnist/reporter example.
This unusual gratis offer (brainbees) will be the next social media phenom with great revenues as it channels the mental masturbation and opiate of other social media into a productive problem-definition and -resolution paradigm. The Miami Herald can have the national, biggest bulk of revenue by the simple expedient of doing the right thing. (If not then in December I will mass email 23,000 journalists with this offer with first-come for national rights to brainbees.)
I will be in Miami November 27 to 29. I hope to meet and answer questions as a prelude to the compensated publication of the key essays. Please email me a contact person. If you are a reporter wanting to pursue a possible Pulitzer Prize, email me with the topic of Timism you would like to review (list of topics for reporters). Am willing to do group Q&A meetings.
In summary, individuals define and committees refine: Ego sum, ego creo.
Sincerely,
