Genius
About
Intellectual genius, with the caveat of The Best and the Brightest, is found in 1/1000 people. [1]. OSE favors integrated genius - meaning holistic thinkers of lifelong emergence - who learn the skills to be authentic stewards of the world. We envision a meritocracy based on the wisdom of elders, as the world transitions from authoritarian to democratic regimes.
Genius Escape Velocity
At a certain point, once a person picks up enough 'hooks' - see Hook Theory of Memory - then one can hang more content in an unlimited way. Once one has enough content across disciplines, one can make further connections to produce creativity that to a normal person looks superhuman. When a person attains this high level of creativity, nothing is impossible, and this creativity is a powerful tool for human progress. Anybody with discipline can learn such genius, and teaching this genius in the intent of the 1000 Hour Curriculum.
