I guess remembering to say please and thank you just isn't enough if you
want to have any worldly influence.
You have to mind your sensitivity
to all audiences no matter what their ethnicity, age or hair color. I
have had trouble with that and have been unprofessional. You also have
to speak on many levels to all audiences. This is extremely difficult to
do while still being a funny or cool or entertaining guy. Toby Turner
is a good example of it done right. But it's hard. I will
edit out some of the things I say but I won't edit out swear words. It
turns out that rap music is basically just introduction of hate speech
into popular culture by making it look cool. It's good to stay out of
the sphere of influence if you are serious about professionalism. If you
are a small fry then in polite company you can say anything you want
and they usually don't mind(this is most of the population including
some dumbass celebrities who never went to school), I sometimes have the
opinion that it's good to test boundaries anyway to see where you stand
with someone(in close company) using mild innuendo to get a reaction as
a source of information. But when talking to the world you need to
bring the professionalism to a higher level not only for the amount of
views or the amount of people you will get to agree with you but for the
sheer exercise of sending a message that speaks to everyone on multiple
levels, emotional, ethical, logical, insightful etc. This doesn't even
have to be in the form of words. Other forms of communication are
sometimes necessary for a message that can cross barriers of
consciousness and force people to admit or face things. Some messages
talk to the gods themselves.
That is if you are actually that good...
This message brought to me by multiple similar analogies throughout the course of my day today along this exact subject.

Basically the dark ages were when a leader took it upon himself to suppress education and information.
And Basically the renaissance of which there was one in Italy and one
in India was when the leaders took it upon themselves to support
education and spread of information.
By that standard the current
information age if it continues with free and open internet without too
much censorship is the new age of enlightenment or renaissance at least
in America for as long as it lasts.
