1/5 OK, this is big. I’m recruiting people to participate in a one-of-its-kind social experiment. It will be exciting, surprising, somewhat time-consuming, possibly stressful, but possibly also life-changing. #MysteryExperiment
2/5 I can’t reveal in advance what it will require of you. But it will involve an initial dramatic revelation, hours of careful thought, some major real-world decisions, and a willingness to respond to follow-up questions for several months.
3/5 To participate, you must be at least 21 years of age, fluent in English, and a resident of one of these 7 countries: USA, UK, Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Kenya, Brazil. When the nature of the experiment is revealed, you will be able to withdraw (but I doubt you will).
4/5 It’s my hope this experiment teaches us something truly important about human nature. And turns into something meaningful in your own life. To apply to participate in the #MysteryExperiment, please carefully complete this form: surveymonkey.com/r/6JVRJZ5 And please retweet!
5/5 If you are selected you will be contacted in January. Results from the #MysteryExperiment will be published some months later. That’s it. Over to you!

1. One of the biggest dangers #coronavirus#Covid_19 has brought us is the risk to our own minds.
2. Those of us lucky enough to be able to work from home may find ourselves unable to focus, obsessed by the latest headline, spiraling into morose thoughts, fearful, lonely, numb.
3. All of this we must fight. This is a time for wise concern, not panic. It's a time to build relationships, not lose them. A time to reflect, and learn, and somehow encourage each other to be our better selves, not lapse into bitterness.
#TED2018 has started! There’s truly amazing content coming. Over the next few days, I’m going to try to share with you my quick encapsulation of the big ideas being unveiled. A week of wisdom in a twitter thread. This will be fun.
1. The fury that so many women feel in this cultural moment is legitimate and will change society. Men, come and be allies. @TraceeEllisRoss#TED2018
2. Re-read your history! The US 2nd amendment sought to allow for well-regulated militias, not unchecked arming of individuals. When will this madness end? Diane Wolk-Rogers, a history teacher who witnessed the shooting of 17 at her school in Parkland. #TED2018
