 We all teach each other. Our social contract is to be open to learning. Teachers and profs learn from students, and vice versa. We all contribute to improving the curriculum via the OSE wiki. With the first cohort of 144, we break up into 12 main projects of 12 people, and combine them into a final project at the end of the year. This is part of our extreme appraoch to collaboration, where we learn that solving larger questions is a collaborative process.

Binding real life into education, for a historic shift from scarcity to open collaboration. Open to anyone no matter how down and out, as long as there is a high chance of personal transformation. The main question becomes: what must a transformative experience include?

Each of tracks get the same positive philosophy training, learning how to learn skills, and socialization via collaborative activity. This is to explicitly address that each individual in the world should gain access to unlimited possibility, and choose a lifestyle based on this mindset. Intended audience is anyone who has completed high school or equivalent level of learning and is 18+ years of age, with specific recruiting via guidance counselors in the worst of all high schools.

	Focus is on transforming one's mindset to infinite possibility by backing up the possibilities with skills. The goal is to bring a person from any demographic - from the debuttante, ghetto child, to a conservative republican, to a feely liberal, to shift mindsets from victimhood to absolute creation of the world around them. Similar programs such as Singularity University or MacArthur Fellows exist, but these focus on uplifting the uplifted, and our program focuses on uplifting the not so uplifted - though potentially teachable because of their thirst for knowledge and improvement - across any demographic.

	To get there, positive psychology training begins with studying general semantics, ethnocentricity, propaganda, communications, psychological health, health, political ponerology, classical literature, and a synthesis of philosophical knowledge to date as a prerequisite to improved mental models of reality.		To get there, positive psychology training begins with studying general semantics, ethnocentricity, propaganda/media studies, communications (written and verbal), history for learning critical thinking, psychological health, health, political ponerology, classical literature, and a synthesis of philosophical knowledge to date as a prerequisite to improved mental models of reality.

	Becauase ''difficilis in otio quies'', or theory is not the same as practice - agency of transformation must begin with one discovering their productive capacity to understand the true meaning of agency, and thus positive psychology. Positive psychology is effectively 'can do.' This must be matched by learning to plant trees, grow food, program intelligence, and build things, among others. Thus, hands-on skill training, something that is missing from academia - is a critical part of OSE's program. Practical skills bridge the gap between theory and practice, between the elite and the laborer - and the world of passiveness and agency.
