	Can all human knowhow cost only $50B if one fighter jet development program costs more than this?		Can all human knowhow cost only $50B if one fighter jet development program costs more than this?

	Is this consistent with the fact that the F35 jet - by itself and out of many hundreds of other multibillion dollar programs that generate no shared value - costs $12B annually in R&D [https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+the+annual+budget+for+the+f35&sca_esv=7994f51f647571a9&ei=tkj_ZbWBK66uur8PzJObwA4&ved=0ahUKEwi1tJeaqYuFAxUul-4BHczJBugQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=what+is+the+annual+budget+for+the+f35&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiJXdoYXQgaXMgdGhlIGFubnVhbCBidWRnZXQgZm9yIHRoZSBmMzUyCBAAGIAEGKIEMggQABiABBiiBDIIEAAYgAQYogQyCBAAGIAEGKIEMggQABiABBiiBEjlCVDYB1jYB3ABeAGQAQCYAWWgAWWqAQMwLjG4AQPIAQD4AQGYAgKgAm7CAgoQABhHGNYEGLADmAMAiAYBkAYIkgcDMS4xoAfGBQ&sclient=gws-wiz-serp]? Yes. The explanation is that such programs simply do not contribute to essential productive value, but are instead one of the numerous costs of competitive waste. On one side, cost could be lowered at least 10x with open source, collaborative military R&D. And more fundamentally, it is worth investing in civilization redesign where ~~such~~ competitive waste is eliminated ~~by design. Such a program is, however, more ambitious than the development of fighter jets and would take out-of-box initiative to execute~~.

On one side, cost could be lowered at least 10x with open source, collaborative military R&D. And more fundamentally, it is worth investing in civilization redesign where competitive waste is eliminated all together.

	Thus the cost to Open Up Education - so that every economic actor, company, or institution functions at their peak of knowhow - is roughly $50B, one time. This is the price of the combined USA cup of coffee per year, and less than 1/10th the cost of a cup of coffee the world over [https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/coffee-market]. From the initial outlay, it is the goal that open culture perpetuates the creation of open knowhow. Furthermore, a significant multiplier effect comes into play once best practice is shared across industries. The possibility of a maker, entrepreneurial civilization enters, possibly shifting civilization to general financial independence and an end of consumerism and war.

	In the [[Future Builders Academy]] apprenticeship - we teach the limits of knowledge across all areas and disciplines of human endeavor. What one finds out is that very quickly we arrive at areas which have no solution, including obvious ones: why are so many people in poverty? Why is there war? These are concrete questions that require divergent solutions. Along with obvious questions, there are known capacities - but we must study them for what is possible in human and natural performance specifications.

	The point of this distinction is to raise awareness that the edge of knowledge is near, in the sense that any individual who goes deep into any pursuit of knowledge will quickly recognize that there are unanswered questions. In fact, an astute observer will realize that there are more unanswered questions than knowns - once the individual begins to probe further in breadth and depth. This questioning can be used to delve deeper into any concept, such as, 'is the earth flat' or 'how do you make a more efficient bearing' - and to complex questions, such as 'how to end class war.'

	How much is all the underlying knowledge worth? Ie, how do we run government, educate people, make microchips, or split atoms? One (limited) way to calculate this is the difference in economic output between today and 19 years ago, the time for patents to run out. It may be said that the difference, adjusted for population growth, may be due to 'innovation'. Thus, this difference is the value of all economically significant knowledge - Value of Knowledge or VoK.		How much is all the underlying knowledge worth?
