The encapsulation of the fact that individuals who know more, make better decisions, and live better.
Know more know better is a great idiom. I tell it to my students to encourage them to study. Know more live better is an extension of that idea.

A new genre which contains characters, places, things, activities, events, and relationships which could not exist anywhere, primarily because they do not adhere to mathematics, science, logic, or reason and are simply impossible, but worthy of consideration. Its dialogues and/or monologues can be nonsensical and may contain non-sequiturs.
Inspired by the things and situations Dali and other surrealist painters and artists depicted starting in the 1920s, and hoping to surprise readers and sell many books, the writer began to invent and insert some surreal-fiction characters, places, things, and events into her story.

The word "mediaopoly" merges the words "media" and "monopoly." Ben H. Bakdikian published his book called "The Media Monopoly" in 1983 . The "mediapoly" is comprised of a handful of corporations which buy independent media outlets, merges them into one conglomerate, dictates what is news, only hires journalists who do not question the system and suppresses independent or alternative ideas and points of view (Fabara, 2017). Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg gave Bagdikian portions of the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret classified history of the Vietnam War, and he gave a copy of the documents to Senator Mike Gravel, who promptly read them into the Congressional Record (1971). In 1976, Bagdikian became dean of the graduate school of journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.
The "mediapoly" buys independent media outlets, merges them into a conglomerate, dictates what is news, manipulates, distorts, and ultimately controls reality, and only hires journalists who do not question and glorify the status-quo; thus covertly suppressing and censoring alternative ideas and points of view, and contradicting the freedom of speech the First Amendment grants America's taxpayers (Fabara, 2017). The mediaopoly is comprised of 7 media giants: Comcast, Walt Disney, Twenty-First Century Fox, Time Warner, Direct TV, CBS, Viacom (the last two separated in 2006).

Some of the few individuals who stop to analyze language and think about what humans are really doing, really not doing, and perhaps should be doing, realized that the idiom trial and error induces failure, and they have corrected it to "attempt it and succeed."

A takeoff on idiolect (1948), which means, "the language or speech pattern of an idiot at a particular period of life", specifically, "the language or speech pattern of one individual idiot at a particular period of life".
Though his idiotlect as a teenager was more pronounced, at 36, it is still clearly discernible. Idiolect could be called "idiolex" to emphasize "lexicon" (a person's vocabulary).

When Yung Ho came from Asia to New York she saw that compared to Asians most New Yorkers were fat, but when she visited Texas she saw that a lot of Texans were obese and some were what her boyfriend called "obeast" (so fat they look like a beast).
"At least they're very happy eating more than their fair share of food—every day!" her Mother said. "Do the math," her cousin said, "if—for example—a woman whose optimum weight is 100- pounds and she's 50-pounds overweight, every day she's gotta eat the amount of food which one-and-a-half people of her optimum weight eat. Do food sellers like fat people? They love them.
