The Future Fab Crash Course is our one-week Civilization Builder Orientation.
Future Fab Crash Course (FFCC): Role and Positioning
Purpose
The Future Fab Crash Course (FFCC) is a fully online, high-reach orientation program designed to:
- Inspire participation in civilization-scale problem solving
- Introduce systems-level thinking and open-source strategy
- Filter for seriousness, discipline, and readiness
- Route participants into appropriate next steps (Commons, CET, EFT, or exit)
FFCC is not a training program, certification, or enterprise accelerator. It is a large-scale sorting and alignment mechanism.
Comparison to Abundance 360
FFCC is comparable to Abundance 360 in *reach and inspiration*, but differs fundamentally in *function and rigor*.
| Dimension | Abundance 360 | Future Fab Crash Course (FFCC) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Goal | Inspiration and optimism | Inspiration + seriousness filtering |
| Core Mode | Vision, networking, futurism | Systems thinking under constraint |
| Accountability | Low | Moderate (mandatory written outputs) |
| Orientation | Opportunity-focused | Reality- and tradeoff-aware |
| Outcome | Motivated audience | Self-selected pathways |
| Advancement | Informal | Explicit routing into defined tracks |
What FFCC Explicitly Does
- Exposes participants to civilization-scale challenges (energy, housing, manufacturing, water, food)
- Frames open source as a strategic necessity, not a moral preference
- Requires structured thinking and documentation
- Sets clear expectations about difficulty, effort, and limits
- Filters out casual interest before entry into core programs
What FFCC Explicitly Does NOT Do
- Teach fabrication or hands-on building
- Certify skills or readiness
- Guarantee advancement into any track
- Provide access to staff, founders, or private channels
- Promise income, enterprise success, or placement
Role in the Overall Program Stack
FFCC occupies the outermost serious entry point:
- Civilization Commons – observe, learn, support
- Future Fab Crash Course (FFCC) – inspire, educate, filter
- Civilization Engineering Track (CET) – rigorous systems engineering
- Enterprise Formation Track (EFT) – new enterprise execution
- Enterprise Advancement Track (EAT) – upgrading existing enterprises
Canonical Framing
FFCC is intentionally sobering rather than promotional.
Its purpose is to help participants answer: “Am I actually prepared for the rigor of civilization-scale building?”
Most participants should not advance — and that is a successful outcome.
