The Psychography of an Open Source Ecologist

• Pursue self-mastery, so you can change the world. Not by going into a cave then emerging, though that's a good option. Here is a more replicable route. The key is the financial indepenedence provided to a mindset of deep purpose or transcendence.
• A chance to figure out your life by the time you are 30. Story: very few people do. Jim Collins talks about this.
• Approach from the point of mastering yourself, so you can truly enage in world transformation. And here we offer a practical 3 step to do this: 1. Gain skills. 2. Gain financial independence. 3. Master yourself. 4. Change the world.
• Level 6 Training: antifragility, flexibility, adaptability to learn to do anything, and to do it because of a deep purpose. You must start with a purpose: finding the current state unconscionable, and committing your life to changing it.
  • Can you learn anything because you have a deep purpose?
  • Purpose - something greater than yourself. Others call it God, people relationships, universal connection, we are all in it together
• Personality and character can change - we are neuroplastic - which was discovered only in 2019 (see Adult Neurogenesis). This opens the possibility of Neuroplastic Sublimation
• It will be hard work, and lifelong learning
• If you have any reservations, if you want to have a plan B, if you don't want to burn your bridges, this is probably not for you. Plan B distracts you from succeeding, as you can always take the easy way out.
• Being an entrepreneur is less risk than being an employee. Employees trade risks for predictability (lack of ambiguity, not having to make choices, freedom from difficult decisions or conversations)
• Responsibility - it is a duty, task, honor; looking for truth rather than convenience, facing the brutal facts.
• Practical way to teach an abundance mindset. It is learned, here is your chance to learn. And we think you have a high chance of learning it.
• You can never give away your honor or integrity: it is always your choice.
• We create new cultures, organizations, institutions. Collaboratively. Group Thesis - we publish a new institution, for purpose of implementation, every 4 year cycle of students, starting with 24. Then as we build up to 700 campuses, 240 people each - 168,000 students put together on a single project, with scaled collaboration (collaborative literacy + simple tools like wikis)

• Look for language that expresses Level 5, Level 6, purpose greater than oneself. Identify all the language constructions that this manifests in.
