Today I'm working on IONA Memorandum 0001: On Curricula.
> To estimate the effectiveness of current era educational protocols, we might look to the Amish. The Amish have maintained largely the same simplistic educational strategy over the past 300 years - and yet still have surprisingly good outcomes to show for it. The fact that classical western education does not reliably produce better outcomes than that of the Amish is strong evidence that current curricular design is in fact ineffective and needs to be re-thought.
> If we are to take a formal approach, we may consider curriculum to be a form of investment, thus allowing us to use Decision Theory to model the value of skills which we may aim to build. In a Venture Capital firm, the goal is to achieve success in each of the startups they invest in, both individually and as a group.

The Culture war is going to kill software freedom if people don't chill the f out.
But I'm sure rage-bait and pwning the libs/right in destructive but silly ways will be worth letting Apple/Microsoft run rough-shot over everything.

New Theory: The normalization about being open about your politics and constantly talking about politics online was a psyop made to help train the pre-crime prediction algorithms that are being created right now.
People's ideological leanings influence how they follow the law and what laws they might break in certain situations. Problem is that talking about politics has been pretty taboo in most certain situations until in recent years. You could gather information based on what news they consume, but a person isn't going to agree with all of the talking points of said news outlet. So the best thing to do is to get celebrities to be more open about their politics on social media and then get everyone else arguing about them. Then, eventually the AI algorithms can determine who is more likely to break a law based on the people who think said law is "unfair". They know that you most likely committed a crime given the arguments you had with people online over the years.

I've just released The Iona Project v1.0
Iona is a mission to create a boarding school to preserve western civilization from the decline of modernity.
Document can be found here: http://iona.pkt.net/
This link will be updated to a website in the future.
As I've been writing this, I have been sharing a few excerpts. So now I'm tagging everyone who I THINK showed some interest in the idea. Apologies in advance for whatever mistakes I inevitably made.
At the bottom of the document is an email address, email me there if you want to be involved, or just to be put on a list to learn about updates.

@Akagi @teto Windows survives because of all the govs and corps that have spent decades having workforces schooled and trained into using windows, and now are unwilling to go back and retrain them because it's sunk costs fallacy with all the licensing they bought and still buy
Also Microsoft lobbying, also whiny boomers being unwilling to learn anything else, plus normie's just being normies
There was a literal PewDiePie video where he bitched about Adobe's subscription model. I can only imagine how much it got worse since 8's on desktop ads
