Class Dismissed

MJ Notes:

1. We need to up our game in terms of clear product. Looks like product dev on Learning Program, not the house itself.

2. Still need to come up with irresistible offer: tuition, that is offset by work-study - clarity on that value exchange. Ability to build housing on demand, one day per new person so we can accept 1 or 100 people on a rolling basis, with all 100 housed in about 50 days as the first guys take a day and new ones (50 person swarm) take a fraction of a day to build. Relies on 'core infrastructure' modules/building, so we just connect to them: water, power, heat, sewer.

3. Need to upgrade the role of AI. We can create self-guided learning from the wiki. Eduardo from Mexico by the way said that it is the TED Talk _and_ the wiki that sold him - he is smart enough to parse it. AI assist on this would do well for us.

4. Impossible Problems - we need to make it a core of our program, challenging people to more than they thought

5. 10x learning is still doable, with kitted 5-15 build lessons in Rapid Learning Facility.

6. We need toys - i think we can't start without computer lab, video studio, 3D printer lab and plastic recycling infrastructure, CNC torch table, industrial grade enclosed cnc mill, small induction furnace for 50kg/hr virgin metal, and small kiln for solar concrete. All solar, so we can talk big and say 'look at all our toys you get to play with'

7. Class dismissed - we could add 'socioeconomic class dismissed' on top of 'class dismissed.' Would be worth inquiring with them if we can use any of their educational products.

8. Would want to recruit their graduates. And Acton Academy grads. Acton Academy was mentioned in the article.

9. Maybe the guy would actually be open to collaborating, specifically on custom product for us for abundance mindset creation.

10. Students in our program would add value by documenting and innovating. We need to make pathways for this very clear.

All in all, we need to continue developing our 10x education product, and take metrics throughout. We have some cool radical points that we need to be very deliberate about how we implement:

1. You earn and set your own pay. I think we need to do some profit share, such as an absolutely transparent (part of the issues i run into is that the package is too hard to explain) - such as 50/50 revenue share from net between OSE and student stipends.

2. I chat gpt'd - and it says we are an 'education institution' and not an 'employer' or general contractor - so we treat the students without workmans comp! Up to yesterday, I was thinking we need workmans comp for students.

3. Impossible projects

4. Students build their own house - if we make it easy enough. Builder Crash Course teaches us we need to simplify build process further.

5. We need to crack the irresistible offer.

I asked eduardo where we find more like him, and he revealed that he also 'meditates' - so he cracked his mind open already for abundance, and rigor to get there - such as optimizing every square centimeter of his future 800 acre blueberry farm. Latest conclusion on archetype:

1. Spiritual cracking of the scarcity mindset

2. Bold humility

3. Sharing

We need to define a clear product and get the bodies rolling in. The Colossus article shows me that there will be extreme development rigor innolved. We don't have the $1B investment budget, but in another way we do easily by the volume of housing we could in principle build. We just need to execute.

Thoughts in the above points?
