I am very excited. Today I want to share an important announcement. For some time I have being working on a revolutionary new app. Since it is in a pre-beta release stage, I’m a little reluctant unveil it now, but I cannot resist.
My new app called “Say What?” Is being created out my desperation with the polarization ,division and increasing hatred that characterize our society. I believe the source of our condition is unfiltered rhetoric and the vehicle by which it is delivered is primarily social media, facebook, twitter, instagram, et al. These mediums provide little or no filter for speech while providing encouragement and protection of impersonal connections.
My initial idea was to create a movement to legislate control, or better eliminate, the social media culprits. For obvious reasons, that didn’t get much traction. Then, in an epiphany, the idea of “SAY WHAT?” was born. Two premises are the foundation of “SAY WHAT?” development: 1) Most of today’s rhetoric contains some truth. 2) The inflammatory quality of the rhetoric is generated by the indiscriminate use of hyperbole, exaggeration, ALL CAPS, ” ” , misquotes, half-truths, unreliable data, demagoguery and hateful expressions, to name a few.
Based on those premises, the goal of “SAT WHAT?” is two fold: Censor all inflammatory aspects of rhetoric produced in social media contexts. Restate each communication so that it clearly communicates any inherent ruth.
The technological challenges of our goal are daunting. Progress on an algorithm that identifies and eliminates inflammatory words, phrases, memes, et al , is slow. We have discovered that “SAY WHAT?”, to be effective it must function in both transmit and receive modes. Our initial design was intended for smart phones so incoming social media posts would be filtered to achieve our intended goal. We have had reasonable success but addressing transmission has led to the necessity of a heretofore unheard of solution.
Currently an implantable microchip is being developed to interface with the brain of its host and filter all outgoing rhetoric similar to “SAY WHAT?”. We are optimistic but cautious. The team believes our microchip, code named “emmanuel” may well be the solution to not only our current condition but the future as well. “Emmanuel” appears to be an elegant solution which could also eliminate “SAY WHAT?”. The next generation will also filter all incoming communications of its host, making “SAT WHAT?” redundant. In anticipation of “Emmanuel” release, legislation is being written to require a pilot program for implantation in all participants in social media.
I am seeking serious investors in this amazing opportunity. To get in on this, once in a lifetime, groundbreaking, revolutionary solution, PM me and we can discuss how you can join us.
Here is an example of how “SAY WHAT?” works: (No offense is intended in using a President Tump tweet as example, it just happen to be the most convenient, there is no absence of examples.)

.@SecAzar and I will soon release a plan to let Florida and other States import prescription drugs that are MUCH CHEAPER than what we have now! Hard-working Americans don’t deserve to pay such high prices for the drugs they need. We are fighting DAILY to make sure this HAPPENS… ..Pelosi and her Do Nothing Democrats drug pricing bill doesn’t do the trick. FEWER cures! FEWER treatments! Time for the Democrats to get serious about bipartisan solutions to lowering prescription drug prices for families… …House Republicans are showing real LEADERSHIP and prepared to enact bipartisan solutions for drug prices. Do Nothing Democrats are playing partisan politics with YOUR drug prices! We are READY to work together if they actually want to get something done!
SAY WHAT? Revision
.@SecAzar and I will soon release a plan to let Florida and other States import prescription drugs that are cheaper than what we have now. Americans should not have to pay unreasonable prices for the drugs they need. We are working daily to make sure this happens. Speaker Pelosi and her Democratic colleagues’ drug pricing bill is not adequate. Now is the time for the Democrats to join with us get bipartisan solutions to lower prescription drug prices for our families… …We are READY to work together and get this done.
