School of Personal and Political Transformation
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.
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
