"Are the new viewers gone yet?"

This is a phrase that Ze Frank often used when he maintained his highly entertaining and daily video blog "the show". This phrase stresses the point that it takes an insider / loyal viewer to understand what is going on and what everything means. The reason I use this title is because it will probably require some patience of my readers to catch on the central theme in my postings.  I hope it eventually will give you a good Return On Attention (ROA).

To make this possible, bare with me and please help me by giving me your input.
I have an important question for you. Below is a short introduction to give you an idea of the type of reasoning that is appreciated for the answers.

First, please read this great comment from Boris I came across:

EINSTEIN was asked by his hostess at a social gathering to explain his theory of relativity.
Said the great mathematician:
“Madam, I was once walking in the country on a hot day with a blind friend, and said that I would like a drink of milk.”
“Milk?” said my friend, “Drink I know; but what is milk?”
“A white liquid,” I replied.
“Liquid I know; but what is white?”
“The colour of a swan’s feathers.”
“Feathers I know; what is a swan?”
“A bird with a crooked neck.”
“Neck I know; but what is this crooked?”
“Thereupon I lost patience. I seized his arm and straightened it. “That’s straight,” I said; and then I bent it at the elbow. “That’s crooked.”
“Ah!” said the blind man, “Now I know what you mean by milk!”

Now the question that I have for you: "what is an Open Dictator?"

Please help an OpenDictator out.

Thx,

- OD
