You are 18 years old you have your life in front of you. You have a chance to become immortal or to lead an ordinary life.

I am 52 yo. if there is one thing I wish I started earlier - it would be to learn how to learn. That means - not just learning things - ma y of which were for me of little real value - but learning how to learn anything - quickly, effectively, standing on the shoulders of giants. Learning patterns and sarchitectures of how the world works - so that learning new things gets ever easier. And. Not for any purpose - but dedicated to a lifelong journey of learning - that helps everybody live in a better world.

I started my lifelong learning journey by accident, when I began working on the GlobAl Village Construction Set. Pretty soon - I learned the difference between vision - and execution. Building real things - is hard. It requires an integrated skill set, creativity, and tools. Tools of learning, tools of doing. But not for any purpose - but explicitly for hanging the world for a living.

Learning a few things along the way, I am starting a school to for people who see a grand vision, and who are looking for tools to get there. This is not Y Combinator - where you will learn the tools of scarcity economics. This is not an ivy league school, where you you become comfortable - in unfreedom. This is not a trade school, where you learn to be a tool of the system, much like college. This opportunity integrates all of this - in order to transcend it.

We have an opportunity here to learn to build - to learn how to design - then with this new glimpse of power - to learn how to learn - and collaborate to solving pressing world issues, and to learn leadership and innovation on solving very hard problems. For 4 years, you will be immersed in an environment of rapid learning, where learn how to design and build just about anything - where you learn how to learn by learning about your mind and your role in the architecture of civilization - where open collaboration is not a word but a discipline of rigor - that you live by every day. We have a work-study option so that this world class education leaves you without debt when you graduate. You start as an apprentice - learning about the possibility and purpose of being able to build things - by learning to build and design a house ecosystem - from structure to landscape to energy to machines and materials used to build it. If you succeed in this torture test, you can advance to the OSE Fellowship, where the focus shifts to learning how to learn and how to collaborate and how to teach. Throughout you will be learning swarm design and build techniques - of disciplined open source product development. Your graduation exam is twofold - a mass collaborative design and productization of a part of the house product ecolovy - such as productizing a new version of the house or tools used to build itweeks s project with 240 other students - a swarm collaborative design project. How does a large number of people work on design and build over just one weekend? By true collaboration and teamwork - which you will be mastering over the 4 years. And the second part requires teaching - your cohort of 24 will be tasked with building a complete state of art house - each member cleading 2 apprentices from the general public - compressing into one week much of what you learned over the 4 years. Talking about an immersion learning experience! - to produce a Builder Crash Course for.the public.
