			=Civ Builder Crash Course Concept=

			I am going nuts with this concept: develop 6 week rapid sprint method, which costs $1M a pop.

			#Invest heavily in equipment to opensource other equipment - for example a commercial grade skid steer - using a small suite of high power production machines.
			#Buy a couple samples from china - they are 1/3 cost and as good as 'mercan ones
			#Cut one apart and otherwise take it apart to reverse engineer all parts and bills of materials.
			#Do this in a 6 week Deep Generalist Boot Camp or such concept
			#~100 people on site (run it concurrent with Fellowship) pay $1200 for the experience
			#~2000 people remote participate in support and prompt engineering leveragin AI
			#Fund it with $1M + $240k revenue stream above
			#Do this with core team on site using productive, rapid prototyping equipment
			#Start with 1 week boot camp at beginning of this boot camp teaching all the tools, skills, techniques of rapid swarm prototype design/build
			#End with a commercial grade product in 6 weeks - Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) finished ahead of time as we still have 4 years left
			#Effort = 2000 people * 10 hours per week each 6 weeks + full time of 100 people on site = 2000106+10040*6=120k+24000=144,000 hours in 6 weeks of coordinated effort. If valued at $20/hr that is about $3M in work, and $1M in capital for a total $4M investment and about 10,000x ROI as skid steers are a $10B market
			#The above effort should be quite sufficient for completion.
			#Incentivize the remote people with a 1 week product demo/final build swarm in the last week of the program - a party to reinvent civilization so it should be fun. We actually see the thing work.
			#Build in a few machines like induction furnace/metal rolling so you get free steel from scrap. Game changer for cost - as this allows modern civilization for free.
			The key above is investing heavily in capital equipment from china (in America we would need more like $3M in capital), to proide the rapid prototyping infrastructure. Namely CNC milling center, CNC torch table, welders, torches, plasma cutters, 3D printers for rubber tires and parts, basic circuit mills - and potentially induction furnace + metal rolling so we are actually making steel for the skid steer from scrap metal.

			The good part is, after opensourcing, the capital investment for a microfactory capable of making parts including engines should be around $100k if we use the existing machines - to replicate more production machines! It's a zero marginal cost system, if we run from solar energy. So this means no poor among us. Key is open knowhow. I am actually getting confident that we can teach the skill set quickly - especially if we have a right mix of talent with a few experts and most being just average hackers. There is real rigor in the design aspect - namely for easy maintenance and lifetime design - as that is the killer of efficiency in today's economy so humans will never be free until this changes.

			In sum, I think the above is doable as a replicable method.
