Advanced Civilization Design/Build
Framing for OSE education, which focuses on collaborative democracy. Note democracy hasn't solved for mob rule, in that one vote goes to a person regardless of their wisdom level. That smart or rich people can influence or buy votes does not solve this fully.
The only solution is maximizing civilization design for teaching wisdom. This means upward mobility on Maslow's Pyramid: from democratic technology for survival, esteem, wisdom, and humility to open up possibility and become Immortal, thereby creating a world in which problems have been solved.
Graduation Requirement
Each 24 person cohort writes a collaborative thesis, and collaborates with successive cohorts, about 10 in number, to author a new collaborative product ecology that begins to solve a problem, such as energy, democracy, agriculture, etc, in any major troubled area of humanity.
The contribution of ~240 poeple over 4 years, with effective contribution tracking, is key to graduation. One must demonstrate contribution to CAD part libraries, design documents, prototype builds, and other contributions. The test here is the quality of thinking that follows a just, democratic design.
The core infrastructure requirement is to measure contributions effectively for their democratic, distributive ethic. This includes:
- Economic value - for addressing survival up to financial independence. For this, open, collaborative, lifeti,e-design product ecologies are key, to bind energy use 10x over the current state by applying Lifetime Design.
- Culturally creative value - making positive contributions to humanity's various processes. For this, Democratic Institutions must be well understood in terms of their relevance and contribution to a democratic society.
- Innovation - original contribution that makes for a new, practical option that humanity can take. For this, one must understand the Edge of Knowledge across all human endeavors.
- Abundance value - clear and unambiguous evidence of transcending any binding of scarcity thinking. For this, Scarcity Mindset must be well-defined.
