Global military spending is about 2 tees [1]. That is a tremendous amount of waste paid for a lack of ability to cope with one's feelings and thoughts. One possible solution is OSE attaining the trillion dollar level of collaboration, in which case we can do a counterintuitive program of collaborative weapon design in the worst case, and design of Livingry in the best case. Since collaborative design is preferred - creatign Mutually Assured Abundance is the most creative approach. Until we get there, we can collaborate on arms as a subversive approach to transitioning society to collaborative principles - which could eventually result in the collaborative approach shifting 100% to creative, as opposed to destructive, technologies.
Further - 'war is extension of politics by other means' - a la Clausewitz - means that the starting point is the person. Personal integration. Personal disintegration is seen in destructive competition - everything from the ubiquitous Competitive Waste to the ubiquitous war - so to understand Clausewitz fully we must understand that prevention of war is attained only by personal integration - leading to social integration - leading to creativity and peace. Nobody disagrees with that really - but nobody knows how to get there. OSE's goal is to show a path of getting there by its 4 year program of personal integration where people come out of it working explicitly on solving pressing world issues. And if they continue - leading the builds of fully nonviolent communities. The OSE Campus in itself is designed to be nonviolent at its essence. See

It seems to me that the definition of 'psychological health' at the 'fully healthy' level involves the capacity for sublimation - and specifically - Daily Sublimation. Daily Sublimation can be defined as the regular reset, every morning, when a person does the necessary internal work to gain a fully creative approach to that day's activities. This means that a person may need to start by processing bothersome things, so they are not a drag in the day - and so that one is able to tap one's full creative power on a daily basis. This comes to me in the Ukraine War, when the suffering there is overwhelming and a historical turning point, and it can lead to depression if not sublimated. For me personally, I simply focus on asking at what level of economic power can I have a major influence on causing peace, through an absolutely creative approach along the lines of Open Source Ecology - and thereafter going about pursuing this goal. It clarifies that the work of OSE must go to addressing governance and security issues globally. I started Global Governance, which is still all words unless there is economic power to back it up. This is purely inspiring, as it provides a clear goal on creating solutions.
Daily sublimation is the daily work required to keep oneself clean and inspired - otherwise the weight of the world begins to build up and becomes a serious psychological threat. Today 85% of people don't like their jobs [2], 1/4 are optimistic about the future in the US [3], and 57% are looking for more meaning [4], and about 50% of Americans thinks that the future will suck [5]. From my viewpoint, that is a failure to grow and sublimate. It's a great opportunity, as we can help people learn growth and sublimation. Growth is a fundamental process - we either grow or perish. Sublimation takes practice. It's a choice which everyone has.

Some great evolution yesterday on teh SEH Core Economic Model - but the complexity of execution arises in terms of due diligence in a highly regulated environment, as well as the issue of financing. Solution for the first is sublimation - documenting techniques and equipment for survey, title due diligence, utility connection due diligence, soil test and bearing qualities, excavation costs, site analysis and potential engineering, closing, title transfer - and other legal/financial due diligence. If we can document all this and teach it - that generates thousands of dollars of extra value - that stays in our pockets and saves money for the customer. For example - a surve, soil test, excavation, and going off-grid electrical - saves us thousands right there. For the grid issue - with a smart house that uses no grid - we have only the boiling of water (tea = 1/24 kwhr, or about 1/6 kWhr if inefficiency is considered) - then a 1 kWhr battery bank can do it for us for $100 - see (Motorcycle Batteries). Thus here we are going in at the same cost (minus $1.5k utility connection) etc. If there is a transformer involved, that is $3-7k and definitely worthwhile. Ok, in any case - the general idea is saving thousands, and providing more value. Actual case studies of savings arise only upon experience - so we need to track data specifically. Autonomous water/electric is a great solution and we should put that explicitly on the roadmap.
Summary of sublimation: we do a win-win for house owner/OSE - by studying the details and teaching our students, we provide more integrated skill sets and more diverse work - for constant learning. Because we thus enter the info economy - we also capture more value.
Ok, to financing. Going to SEH Core Enterprise Module.
