2. Text

Classified strategic research memorandum.

"Radio allowed us to reach the masses.

Television allowed us to capture their attention.

The network will allow us to observe how ideas reproduce across the entire human population.

Its greatest advantage may be that individuals will participate voluntarily, believing themselves to be the independent authors of their own thoughts."
