OSE Goals

Main

• Global Village Construction Set - a set of machines and institutions required to build a small scale civilization with modern comforts. Note that the original formulation included 50 machines, the GVCS Proper. However, the mission of OSE was expanded to include an institution construction set, having realized that material prosperity is only a small part of human prosperity - as in Maslow's Hierarchy. Institutions involve abstract concepts, such as manufacturing, freedom, education, etc - and OSE intends to develop a blueprint for civilization that builds upon all human knowledge. The claim is to create paradise, such as that promised by humanists, demagogues, and religions alike - so in this sense this is nothing new. The new part is an honest attempt at execution, over a period of at least 60 years, or 3 generations. The current concept involves the introduction of open collaboration as a norm in society, which is feared and shunned by mainstream enterprise, at the same time as it is the progressives' unobtainium. Our current study of the problem statement concludes that (1) need for hierarchy (top dog and bottom dog) - and hence gross oppression; (2) religion - in its validation of irresponsibility in the form of others taking care of problems for you instead of one being responsible for the world around oneself; and (3), millennia of competitive mindset stemming from the reptilian brain fight or flight response, resulting in strong wiring for a scarcity mindset. Therefore, any civilization reboot experiment must consider the underlying psychology to achieve widespread adoption.
• Edge of Knowledge 1000 Hour Curriculum - education program, normalized throughout the world, that teaches people, at the essence, of how to get along with each other. It consists of reneissance person education for freedom, where one learns full agency and transforms into a collaborative steward of the world around us. This consists of 1000 lessons of the most distilled content that is worth learning across all knowledge and knowhow domains, both theoretical and applied hands-on, across all sectors and disciplines. This implied that the learning process involves hands on enterprise writ large, whatever the enterprise may be - but conforming to a pursuit of self-actualization and self-realization - therefore following the theory of self-determination. The starting point proposed is the time when any individual becomes functionally literate, or around 10-18 years of age. The proposed method is rapid learning, This is proposed as an alternative to disciplinary, unapplied education.
