 This letter is meant to contain, in as succinct a way as I could muster, a series of specific proposals to [[Google]] and the community of our [[users]], as a whole and as arbitrary subgroups. Whenever I couldn't expound in full, I try to include [[links]].
 
-I write this set of optimistic, some would say [[naive]], **proposals** knowingly in the context of what some call [[late stage capitalism]] and can safely be alternatively described as [[digital capitalism]] as it is as of [[2024]]. Yet I, as a Google employee, want to communicate my recommendations as clearly and as ethically as possible to both company and society. Because of this, the rest of this letter for now will be available in a forum available only to Google employees.
+I write this set of optimistic, some would say [[naive]], **proposals** knowingly in the context of what some call [[late stage capitalism]] and can safely be alternatively described as [[digital capitalism]] as it is as of mid [[2024]]. So I need to clarify that my chances of success, I realize, are low. Yet I, as a Google employee, still want to try and  communicate my recommendations as clearly and as ethically as possible to both company and society. Because of this, the rest of this letter for now will be available in a forum available only to Google employees.
 
 My high level intention is the following: to develop, together, a [[commons]] containing a prosocial transparent governance layer for the internet and use it in a daring way to try to advance company, society and civilization. I intend to convince Google that this is the right thing for both people ("users") and company; and I intend to convince you, reader, that we should do this together.
