What do you want to think bigger about?: 1) The only thing keeping the people who do the world's work from taking it back from the small percentage of those who own everything and keep the world a hell for all too many instead of the paradise it could be, is their skepticism that it HAS TO BE this way because it always HAS BEEN, which of course is backwards reasoning. I have personally taught thousands of children and visited thousands of old folks, who would take action if they just knew how powerful they are. If any people are part of this, who at least realize that everyone would pay $10 to see this happen, plain as day, right before their very eyes, I've got a screenplay.
2) People go through sometimes 20 years of schooling without so much as a single lesson in how to LEARN, to begin with. Remembering times tables and state capitols isn't learning; it is going potty when the teachers gives permission. EVERYONE can learn how to play a sport or musical instrument, and EVERYONE can learn how to bring everything they already know to bear on what they don't, as you and others like you do without thinking twice about it. Is it any wonder that so many are so frustrated throughout their education, having to figure out everything thrown at them one piece at a time.

What other big thinkers do you find influential?: Northrop Frye, Jonah Lehrer, Gore Vidal, John Brockman, Thomas Kuhn, Frank Capra, Elia Kazan

How has the The Think Big Manifesto influenced you?: I guess I should have looked for what's in it before writing
