This document proposes experiments in redefining education, sustainability, and creating synchronicity among people. It suggests facilitating connections between individuals based on their curiosities and passions using a smartphone app. The app would help people find resources and each other to explore their interests. The goal is to provide an ecosystem where people have time and space to pursue what matters to them through crowd-sourced gatherings. This may help address people's needs for personal meaning and social connection in a way that is self-sustaining. Implementing this on a large scale could involve using existing public education resources differently.
This document contains a collection of short passages on various topics including observing one's thoughts, imagining new ways of learning, building community, focusing on what matters most, embracing not knowing, and using music to bring people together. It discusses concepts like detoxing from old ways of thinking, noticing what is important, and focusing on connection and sharing over prestige or knowing things. The passages are from different people and sources on creating innovative learning experiences.
Here are a few key points from the story:
- The story depicts a boy who was originally curious and happy, but over time lost parts of himself as he tried to please others and meet their expectations of how he should be.
- One day, a man heard the boy crying and asked what was wrong. The boy said he had lost himself. The man hugged and connected with the boy.
- Through their connection and embrace, the man was able to see and understand the boy. This awakened something in both of them - a longing to rediscover who they truly are.
- The story suggests that people need freedom and permission to be themselves, to pursue their interests and talents, and to connect authent
This document discusses ideas around facilitating a "quiet revolution" through creating spaces that allow people to pursue their authentic interests and develop a sense of community. Some key points:
- It advocates focusing on authentic learning through art and sharing interests in "communities of practice" rather than prescribed learning.
- It suggests credentialing could come from how well one's community is doing rather than formal qualifications.
- It proposes experimenting with a social currency based on relationships rather than monetary value by fostering a culture of trust and transparency.
This document summarizes experiments with self-directed learning conducted from 2008-2014. It discusses:
- Groups of 30-50 students experimenting with choosing their own topics, projects, and activities rather than following a standard curriculum.
- Attempts to give students more freedom and choice in their learning, including allowing them to write their own math curriculum or declare learnings at the end of the year.
- Moving experiments from a high school classroom to a house downtown to give students even more flexibility in their learning environment.
- Reflections on challenges like students losing interest in self-chosen topics and a perceived need for some structure, as well as efforts to develop a narrative to share learnings more broadly
1. The document lists 100 books and their authors, with brief descriptions or recommendations for each book related to topics like education, creativity, entrepreneurship, and technology.
2. It emphasizes the books Linchpin by Seth Godin, discussing concepts like embracing lack of structure to find a new path, focusing on skills and interactions to stand out, and putting passion before risk to create meaningful work.
3. Quotes from Linchpin encourage acknowledging fears but proceeding anyway, and giving gifts through work to change people rather than waiting for instructions or personal gain.
This document proposes an alternative vision for public education and society. It suggests redefining success around attachment, authenticity, and facilitating people's curiosities, rather than tests and policies. A framework is described where technology connects people based on their interests and facilitates learning across generations in shared spaces. Stories from individuals show how their curiosities could lead to collaboration addressing issues like cancer research. Benefits include engaged, motivated learning and developing relationships. Certified teachers would gather daily in hubs to pursue their passions and support youth. The goal is to prototype this alternative through crowdsourced resources and connections.
This document discusses prototyping an experiment in 2013-2014 that scales individual curiosity and taps into the creativity of all 7 billion people. It mentions creating an ecosystem in a city with eclectic people and resources available to everyone as the day, without agendas or raised eyebrows. The goal is to free people and resources and use technology to connect people to their passions and each other faster. The hope is this experiment could be incredibly humane and help realize Buckminster Fuller's vision while waking people up to their potential.
The document discusses the concept of "naked streets", which refers to stripping road signage to create more uncertainty and lower crash rates. It argues that we over-regulate with policies, paperwork, and rules when we should trust people more. Stripping away unnecessary structures could get people more in touch with themselves and each other. Regular self-talk may help people find their purpose and take more meaningful action by reducing barriers between intentions and behavior. Technology is meant to help but sometimes holds us back; it may be time to prune what is no longer needed.

This document discusses the need for more choice and flexibility in education. It notes that students are seeking more personalized learning experiences outside of the traditional school system, including charters, homeschooling, and online options. It also discusses how giving students more control and choice in their education can increase engagement and motivation to learn. The document advocates for redefining public education to offer more self-directed and unschooling-style options so that schools can accommodate all learners. It also highlights the potential for youth to drive innovation and change in education using digital tools and collaboration.
The document discusses the idea of "detoxing" or learning to learn through a natural process of noticing, dreaming, connecting, and doing. It describes experiments with self-directed learning models that focus on the learning process rather than compulsory content. Key findings include that most people are not sure how to learn without direction, but that providing learners with choice in what, when, how, and with whom they learn can empower life-long learning beyond standardized measures.
The document appears to be a slide deck summary of research done in Loveland, Colorado exploring new ways to redefine how students spend their time in school. Some key findings include that nothing will be for everyone and the importance of facilitating different options. The research also emphasized listening to student voices and perspectives, noticing the unlikely, being mindful, and creating a sense of community and interdependence in the school.
This document discusses experimenting with new ways of documenting one's life and experiences that are less rigid and allow for more freedom. It describes a website called redefineschool.com that serves as documentation of the experiments as well as a prototype itself. The document advocates for spending more time living fully and following one's curiosity rather than spending so much time proving oneself through traditional forms of documentation that are often not paid much attention to once completed. It proposes new technologies that could facilitate lifelogging and hosting life experiences in a way that is less time-consuming and more freely accessible to oneself and others.
This document discusses the need for change and reform in how society and institutions are structured. It argues that most people are stressed and not engaged by current systems like schools. Technology is discussed as both potentially helpful if used to give people more choice and autonomy over their lives, but also potentially harmful if it replaces human connection and limits options. The document advocates for experimenting with new models that give all people more freedom and flexibility to pursue what interests them, with the goal of restoring balance and addressing issues related to health, the environment, and more.
Whether you call them wicked, complex, intractable, or just plain broken, our society is facing many tough issues. We can't sit back and hope for the best. It's up to us to work through the complexity and create thoughtful, sustainable solutions.

This document discusses moving away from traditional assumptions about education, success, and what really matters. It questions focusing so much on measurement, standardized tests, and seeing school as a business. Instead, it advocates embracing not knowing, unleashing people to do meaningful work, and defining success as how well the people around you are doing. It envisions community as school, with real-world problems as the curriculum. The overall message is that simple rules and trusting relationships within a community may better serve human spirit than the current education system.
This document outlines a vision for educational reform called "a quiet revolution". It advocates creating physical and mental spaces that allow people freedom and permission to be themselves, follow their curiosity, and develop their unique talents and gifts. The document discusses how current education systems often stifle these things. It proposes alternative models like unschooled homes where learning is self-directed. The overall goal is to set both individuals and communities free by cultivating spaces of trust where people can gather and share in ways that matter to them.
The document provides 12 different definitions of sustainability from various organizations and sources. It then provides commentary questioning aspects of each definition, such as who determines limits, carrying capacity, and what quality of life means. The commentary expresses skepticism about whether sustainability as defined can actually be achieved given finite resources and the current global population.

Why are we (as humans) so slow in learning about Sustainability?
Here we will delve into the issues of thinking in a systemic way, Action Learning, how to study more effectively & we look at really understanding what Sustainability is.
The document discusses the importance of education in empowering people to critically engage with reality and transform their world. It then discusses several examples of organizations addressing social issues like poverty, discrimination, and hunger. It outlines instructions for a final project where students are asked to identify a social issue they care about, investigate it, and design a service project to address an identified community need through awareness, fundraising, or partnering with an existing organization. The goal is for students to work on meaningful projects that create positive change and allow others to get involved.
People are stressed and there is an idea to help de-stress through two conversations. If a famous person like Angelina Jolie supported this idea, it could spread globally and help create equity. The proposal involves using technology to connect people through sharing curiosities, which could document change and free people's time.
The document discusses the author's website (redefineschool.com) which serves as a collection of their thoughts, connections between ideas, and conversations with themselves and other authors. The website aims to organize the author's non-linear thinking in a searchable way for personal reference. It is presented as the author's "brain" and allows them to document everything and nothing without constraints in order to focus on living authentically rather than busy work. The author dreams that new technology could help facilitate transparency and connectivity in a way that frees people up to pursue what really matters to them.
1) The document discusses the universal human needs of authenticity and belongingness, and how technology now enables facilitating both simultaneously through conversation.
2) It argues that current piecemeal initiatives are distracting from what is needed, which is syncing global efforts to fulfill these basic needs and enable freedom for all people everyday.
3) The document imagines harnessing people's everyday curiosity through technology infrastructure that supports two-way conversations, in order to reshape society and revolutionize everyday life for everyone in a humane, non-coercive way.
The document discusses the idea that taking an "all-or-nothing" or complete approach to trust, freedom, and interconnectedness may be necessary to achieve equity and justice, rather than partial or limited experiments. It suggests that societies built on complete trust and choice have not been fully tested and ideas like universal basic income or commons may not provide real benefits if implemented partially rather than completely. A complete, disengaged approach that works for all people and resources over time may be needed.
The document summarizes the key benefits of engaging a financial professional to manage personal finances compared to doing it alone. It notes that professionals have extensive academic and practical training knowledge, while individuals only have surface level information. Professionals understand complex financial instruments and markets in depth. They are trained in legal aspects like contracts and succession laws. Overall, using a professional can help maximize returns, minimize risks, and ensure financial plans stay on track for long-term goals.

The document describes a thesis project exploring how to design spaces that can accommodate people of different ages and abilities. It discusses aging as a universal process and challenges with traditional eldercare facilities. It summarizes precedents studied, with the Elder Homestead found to be most desirable due to amenities distributed throughout to allow independent living. Problems with traditional childcare are also outlined, including few adults per child, large groups, little alone time, solitary behavior seen as antisocial, tasks done away from adults, conversations of a different quality, less space per child, caretaker inconsistency and siblings not growing up together.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

We’re experimenting with the intersection of city and school.
Seeking to scale each individual by crowdsourcing their curiosities
for gatherings/connections that matter to them. To ground that
inevitable chaos we’re crafting a match(dot)com type app/chip,
to listen to curiosity.
What you do and who you are needs to matter to you. Perhaps
what matters most is figuring out what matters most. People
need time and space to do/be that.
If people are doing/being things that don’t matter to them,
there’s little sustainability/thrivability/…

22/sustainability
29. 23/sustainability
What we see in successful people is this sort of generous persistence, when we are
faced with the initial no, or the third no, or the fifth thing that doesn’t work, people
with grit figure out a different way to move forward—not an obnoxious way to move
forward but a way to move forward that demonstrates commitment and tenacity.
One of the reasons that lottery winners end up having such miserable lives after they
win the lottery is that coming into a whole bunch of money doesn’t give you grit. The
money goes away pretty fast because you don’t know what to do when it doesn’t work
out the way you hope it will work out.
Grit is a choice. It’s an attitude. It’s not something you’re born with, nor is it something
that is given to you. That really excites me because it means that, unlike the Revolution
of 1910 or 1880, where it mattered who your father was, it doesn’t matter who you
know. It doesn’t matter where you were born if you at least were in a semi-privileged
environment. What matters is that you choose to put yourself into this world as a
creator, an actor, an artist, a leader. That’s just a choice.

53. 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 keep missing us, because we keep giving up

Perhaps tech is here to reduce the time between intention & action,
between finding the thing you can’t not do & finding your people.
That offers synchronicity on a whole new level.
enough people – so everyone can be w/their people
enough spaces/resources – to facilitate changing curiosities

the dreams of Illich, Holt, Gatto, Jacobs, …)

100% free form. Many of us believe that to be too ridiculous. But what if we have that all
wrong. What if we’re not getting to an equitable world, because we’re not completely
unleashing/letting go. Obsession with management/control/prestige most often trumps
authenticity.
Perhaps we experiment in a space with all kinds of people/resources. Perhaps we believe –
that in that space – there is never nothing going on – so that no one has anything to prove.
Imagine that happening as the day, not as an add-on to current busy-ness.

I want you to consider the frightening possibility that we are spending far too much money on schooling, not too little. I want you to consider
that we have too many people employed in interfering with the way children grow up – and that all this money and all these people, all the

people that need income can be supported to play, especially tapping into sabbaticals for

I noticed a lot of my friends’ parents have cancer. They keep talking about early detection. I asked
my mom and she said if you find out early on, the cancer can usually be cured, but that not
enough people find out early. I also watched a video of a 17-year-old that wrote a recipe to cure
cancer and is now working at Stanford. I’m dreaming about finding ways to improve early
detection. I want to connect to people who are experts at this and see what I can learn from
them.

80. Tom, age 7, uses his mom’s ipad and his family’s wifi access, to record the following:
My mom has been doing this healing stuff my whole life. I’ve never believed in it before. But
she started doing it with me, because I have/had asthma, and now I don’t have it anymore. I’m
really interested in seeing if it can help people with cancer.
74/synchronicity
81. The app connects them.
A mesh network created for each of these (ie: the brain) could have one small node representing their
intense curiosity and that’s it. Or, it could be the start of an offshoot node, as they advance into the study
of health and medicine. Either way, this cancer node could be detected by the app in a couple weeks by
someone else talking to themselves about the same things and then they all receive notification of
another potential connection.

87. 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 rewire and fade-out techs/systems that are no longer of benefit.

7 billion authentic people taking charge of their day, 7 billion art-ists. We’ll have
cities/communities where everyone is known by someone, with time and space for
gatherings that matter.
Perhaps then we will see how breathtaking all people are. How hungry people are, for hard
work/play that matters. Perhaps we find ourselves swimming in more solutions, than
problems.
Today, this is doable. Tech can ground initial chaos of a city set free by shortening the lag

The high school buildings become resource centers and meet up spaces. There is a city-wide art hall and
engineering hall, forensics hall. The town acts more like a university campus.. where people are walking
and biking to and from buildings through the course of a day, as the day. Feeding off each other.
Feeding off life.
The museum, the library, the restaurant, the dr’s office, the vet’s office, the coffee shop, the robotics
company, auto-repair shop, permaculture farm, engineering firm, real estate office, dance/recording/art
studio, … these become the classrooms.
Public ed funding can now go toward community owned/shared spaces/resources, ie: maker space,
community gardens, …
We’re imagining crowded/stressed school buildings start emptying out as people realize options available
to pursue interests in the city. As buildings empty, perhaps we restructure existing buildings to facilitate
this useful notion of space – not defined by previous stated age groups – buildings could be combinations
of – or whatever.

imagine a community such as mine, Loveland, CO.
You, a university, or a CEO of a company, come to me today, asking if Peter is a good fit, if he’s worth
consideration at your establishment.
I say, most likely not. I explain to you, that currently, Loveland has 400+ charitable organizations, so one
would think we wouldn’t be dealing with homelessness, our county wouldn’t be 6th in the nation in
suicide rate, etc.
I say, I wonder what the heck has Peter been doing, letting that happen in his community
imagine you come to me a year from now.
Loveland no longer has 400+ charitable organizations, but rather, one kitchen table. People have
connected. They engage in ongoing conversations, conversations that matter. People have started to
take care of their own situations. Because people now question how they spend their days, health has
improved. People are realizing that they matter to each other, the suicide rate has gone down….
And now, now I say to you, … yes, Peter. Peter is perfect. Whether or not he helped to change our
community for good, he has been living in it. He’s associated and with people that are free and are
practicing their art. Peter is gold. Peter is indispensable.
102. Seeking to improve learning for a classroom of 3rd graders, for an entire school, or even
for a business, is a boost for sure. But perhaps those very structures (mental and physical)
are at the heart of the problem.
Perhaps authentic learning/connecting/being thrives in more organic/chaordic spaces.
Perhaps the sharing of resources (people, spaces, things) city-wide is where we might get
at a cross-generational, eclectic community of people, a village.
Imagine all the money (trillions), time (7 hrs a day for 12+ yrs), and people (90%?), spent
on public education, being funneled instead into enlivening local communities. Perhaps
we have all we need, we just need to be more resourceful.

that partial-ness lessens us, it lessens our community.
