Seven Teaching Billion

Capturing Core Essence of Human Experience

Social Media has transformed the Internet into a "me too" wasteland.  While 55% of teenagers (15-17) are from single-parent homes, the erosion of "adult reference benchmarks" has continued to accelerate.  Lacking credible inputs, the life-outcomes of the lower 95% will include resource depletion and the speedier robotic-driven devaluation of human creativity.

Meanwhile, millions of aging "grays" find themselves isolated.  Having lived "useful" lives they are now largely disposable.  With 'purpose running out' many simply sit down and prepare themselves to die.

It's a tragic waste of human potential at both ends of Life.  Yet the solution is apparent.

Imagine a new online initiative that would capture the "life essence" of the Aging.  Imagine a resource that would provide "searchable lives" so that following generations would be able to investigate (and learn from) other humans - who have faced similar choices - before them.

Seven Teaching Billion is a triangular business model.  In partnerships with nursing homes, retirement communities, hospices, it provides a semi-structured (and searchable!) capture of potentially millions of lives of "regular people."  The rest of us.

Global youth have been force-fed diets of "what exceptional people did."  School curriculum is filled with such stories.  But, what about the life of an average plumber?  A stay-at-home mom?  A small farmer?  Not the rock stars.

It's my belief that capturing the middle - and encouraging educators to incorporate "reading the lives of others" - with an eye toward evolving personal benchmarks and learning human quirks, frailties, and potential in the middle would give youth a better chance at improving the world.

Social media isn't fixing the problem.  But, Seven Teaching Billion?  There's nothing new under the Sun.  This project may help reduce the "generational repeating error rate" (GRER).  At very low cost with potentially very high reward.

Oh, and it throws out a humongous AI database of human learning experience.

Think of Social Media.

It monetizes "people talking about themselves."  It's a one-to-many model.

7TB offers people who have lived most of their life a way to pass on best-of-class ideas to following generations.  It's the "many-to-one" model.

In the process a massive amount of "human experience" will be captured.

This is a web-based solution.  Need I say more?  Lot's a knowledge engineering to ensure the objectives of the target users (young people) and the teachers (old people) are harmoniously achieved. 

It would also use the collected "life stores" as a knowledge base for AI.  So a young person could frame a question and get a range of solution sets back.

Build and launch.  Market and grow.  Share.

If the 7TB concept "takes off" it would impact over a million young people per year and a million aged and dying, too.  That's the dream.

Knowledge transfer: OId to young.  Searchable. Learnable for AI.

Input:  Marketing to nursing homes, hospices, retirement centers/communities.

Output: Market to schools>history and sociology departments.

Free curriculum / syllabus on website.

10,000 to 20,000 page views per day would be a reasonable 12-month target.

53 years of work experience and an MBA?

Not worried so much about money as the model.

If use rises, then AdSense/Google, grants from associations for the aging and lots of college ads for the young, one imagines...

a) Solve as resources

b) Takes resources to make this work.

Solve would lend high street creds to this project.  Ed. sector tends to be insular.  Not invented here, yada, yada.
