The Four Person Principle
Posted by Petra on May 27, 2006 at 11:27:25:

Hi Marc,

Thank you for your ideas as well. Feedback is always a wonderful way to extend one person's thoughts. There's a concept called "the four person principle" which states that we are only ever four persons away from the person we need to reach. So you can't go that person, but put the information in the hands of the fourth person and let it filter up the chain until it reaches the one you wanted to approach in the first place.

I'm positive if someone wants to see me at the AGU talking about earthquake safety a place will be made for me. I said it yesterday from in here to out there. So if it's going to happen, the fourth person principle concept will work. There are people right here and those who read out here who are members of the AGU, so let's let them make a decision about what they think is important or not. After all, it's their place, not mine.

My earthquake prediction site has been visited by every country in the world except Africa so far. So if Seismic Wave travels through those countries I can't imagine anyone in the film industry missing it. I should only be four persons away from contacting the right person. It's much better too if they approach you than for you to try and sell them something. The general atmosphere is much better. Not unlike wearing blue or yellow versus red. Everything has a feel to it.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend too.

Petra
