Two deep needs and a cure, facilitated by a simple mechanism, in an open system.
Perhaps what we’ve been doing (with school/work/life) has been more 
about temporary efficiency than sustainability. 
Perhaps that’s why we seem to perpetuate a band-aid mindset, with an 
insatiated/ongoing need for motivation. 
The center of the problem is that none of them knew the center of the 
problem. 
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb 
Imagine we dig deeper, to a natural energy. An energy that restores/revives 
itself, in 7 billion ways, every day.
Many people are re-imagining public education in incredibly cool ways. The only problem is 
that those ways aren’t accessible to everyone right now. Perhaps a (temporary/fabricated) 
synchronicity can help to hasten equity. (everyone getting a go everyday) 
And so, a mechanism to help us get a good start at modeling another way, in sync, would 
have to be simple enough so that 7 billion people could use/access it now. One that would 
require no prep, no training, very little policy. 
[If need be we could channel/initiate this mechanism via a redefinition of public education. ie: 
upcycling ed resources. Repurposing time/money/people we currently spend on proving things, on 
classroom management... ] 
If we get the dance right, especially initially, we could turn this on a dime.
:
Perhaps we haven’t yet experimented in this ecosystem (entire city – entire day), 
because we fear chaos/laziness. Perhaps that fear has been legit. Perhaps it 
hasn’t been possible to let people follow their whimsy, en masse. 
Perhaps new technology can help us facilitate everyone’s 
whimsy/curiosity/aliveness at once, in sync, so that we can get to a more natural 
state of being. 
Perhaps we and fade-out techs/systems that are no longer of benefit.
