About

Topgrading means selecting the best from among many options. It is largely a practice of discovery - based on selection criteria - and followed by an assessment of options. It means choosing the best - which can also be the most expensive and challenging, but it is worth it if a robust option for Solving Pressing World Issues is required.

Things like seeking the Extraordinary, Peak Performers, and Superheroes. Everyone loves them and many want to be one. A Positive Psychology perspective indicates that anyone can do it, pending their 10,000 Hours.

Topgrading could apply to Subject Matter Experts, organizations, products, institutions, etc.

Below are all the areas/topics for topgrading. Topgrading involves identifying the best players, followed by hanging out with them. If you cannot find these people in person, you can hang out with them on YouTube, through their books,.podcasts, websites, etc. the key is: spend time with them. Prerequisite is learning the Art of Possibility.

Psychologists

  • 20th century top 100 - [1]

Warriors for Global Justice

Includes global and local.

Leveling the Playing Field

Systems Integration

Beyond systems thinking, this is about agents of change. Global solutions are created from integrating disciplines internally to expand them outwardly to include more elements.

Objective Analysis of Global Issues

Is is critical to cultivate information sources that provide an accurate information.

  • Objective
  • Nonpartisan (A potentially better way to word this would be Wikipedia’s Neutral Point of View / the Fairness Doctrine ) (Although care should be taken to fact check + remove any Logical Fallacies from each side’s take)
  • Secular
  • Scientific
  • Universally trusted

List

  • RAND corporation - [2]. It's considered a Lean Left org [3]. Is it always about left or right?
    • Not that Dogma should be placed over facts, or that one should be allowed to do the fake science of start with a conclusion and look for backup ‘’’BUT’’’ the farther right shifting Overton Window has me thinking this may not be that big of a deal/worth mentioning really. Also Why Academia Leans Left is worth a look
    • If i remember correctly it was founded in the cold war to study nuclear strategy and such right? (Let me double check this)

Action

The most inspiring act of collaborative development could be the coordination of a large number of Distributive individuals possessing significant technical knowhow and sharing it as open source. For CV/AI/Open Silicon/Hydraulics/Sensors/Robotic Arm/CNC, etc - the field is ripe for interdisciplinary synthesis. This requires highly skilled individuals with interdisciplinary skillsets to collaborate. Transforming fixed mindsets and bridging culture wars, while solving pressing world issues - this is the thing to do.

Enterprise Synthesis

We short circuit endless debate by going all in, full lifetime commitment. Starting at college age, with exit as one of the various enterprises that are not only transformative but also sublime. The elite track is for the Distributive Movement Entrepreneur who plays to greed to enable shared abundànce - linking this apparent contradiction.

Disclaimer

Before topgrading, we must ask good questions. For example, we should not strive to be the best at being evil. We must select good things to pursue. Thus, topgrading must start with asking Important Questions.
