What Does It Mean When 300 Colombian Academics Join Our Networks in One Day?

Yesterday, I noticed that around 300 academics from the University of Los Andes in Colombia joined our various networks. I felt deep pride and welcomed them warmly, knowing that hundreds of academics from this university and thousands of Colombian academics, translators, merchants, and diplomats were already part of our networks, and that I had previously dedicated several honor boards to Colombians.

This large number caught my attention, even though I have witnessed similar cases of dozens or hundreds of academics from the US, Europe, and Qatar joining our networks in a single day… but never this many.

This event triggered my thinking — as a thinker, inciter, and inspirer — and that is why I am still talking and writing about it despite my many responsibilities… and who knows what is happening and what will happen!

This massive wave of joining clearly reflects the global resonance created by the Ninth Honoring Initiative, and that people across continents have already entered a state of readiness to participate.

We will open the nomination window on 12/12/2025, and we call on everyone to raise the alert level to orange.

You are on a date with history.
