Decadal Announcement & Town Hall

The next 10 years of theTinker ecosystem and Tinkering University. Streaming April 20th on all platforms.

Because this website is still being updated I would like to refer you to our discord. This was originally designed for our needs in the Crossout community but is being adapted to fit theTinker Ecosystem. There will be a major announcement April 20th that explains everything our organization will be doing and how you can be involved. Please feel free to follow High_Potential on Twitch or any of our other socials as we hope to multistream the event. Thank you for your interest and I hope to reach out to you soon to learn how we can facilitate the projects you are passionate about.

Important clarification: This will be explained at the decadal, but, we are currently NOT an accredited university. We hope to achieve accreditation by the end of our 10 year plan. We still, however, plan to provide equivalent resources and better education to that of your common overpriced University degree. Our university is FREE and OPEN; with all resources available to anyone anywhere anytime.

All researchers and students own 100% of their own IP but can choose to include it in our ecosystem of OPEN knowledge. We fund the resources necessary to provide our educational techniques to anyone so they can pursue their passion. We demonstrate the ability to create a: closed-loop, self-funded infrastructure supported by all sectors that facilitates the independent, passion-driven, resource-anchored education of K-Professional students.

This is an example DRAFT proposal created for a meeting a bit over a week ago. It contains several pages of very unrefined sections and most of it will either change, be deleted, or entirely redacted. Consider this word spam; lots of thoughts and nothing fully organized.

Hi! This website is under construction. Many of our timelines have been moved forward, upwards of 5 years, as we have successfully sourced access to the vital resources necessary to develop theThinker and theTinker Bot. We are privileged to have accepted $20k in initial seed funding by several private donors who are willing to support this endeavor before it becomes public. We are pursuing an initial offering of public equity by end of next week; we are unable to do this by the Decadal on the 20th so the format of the decadal has been modified accordingly. We are hoping to work with Republic but will find the best, most reputable site that charges the least fees for your exchange of equity. The equity will be non-profit sharing; you will only have a small say in what we do legally with a big impact in what we do realistically if you are active in places like discord.gg/TinkerUniversity. The original plan was to request donations and sell merch/data product (which we still plan to do) as our initial seed round, but we have skipped to a phase in our Decadal that entails selling private equity in order to legally protect both you and me. By placing legal agreements of milestone sharing between your funding and my promises I am ensuring that the exchange is much more reputable and reliable - hopefully ensuring more comfort for you in the long-terms, as you are guaranteed a small stake in my organization and the outcomes it will have. I chose a low initial equity limit of 2% with a high evaluation of $5M to represent the idea that the equity is more of a token of trust than a real representation of our current resources. I expect what we create to grow far larger than $5M but it will take a lot time to get there - currently our value is what YOU place on it - and private equity is how to achieve this even if I am not the biggest fan or expert in the private sector. My understanding of how the world works is rooted in academic/government sector, and the way that financial infrastructure runs, so I am leaning heavily on my mentors at this time to make wise decisions that will ensure a safe company I have full, reasonable control over for the extended future. In terms of the stake and influence your private equity has in my company - we will operate like NASA and other large academic/government umbrella organizations. We will be run by members of our community in a peer-review/panel like process that encourages a combination of ideas from humans across a wide variety of social and professional backgrounds. Although I will make the final decision on things, I will do my best to be informed and unbiased.

This will change after my meeting tomorrow to transition our LLC to a company that can sell private equity. I am still new to all this, so if I got anything wrong here or on other platforms this is why and I hope you will be patent with me as I learn how this side of the world functions. Because of these changes the decadal will be less formal but still focused on outlining our key milestones and defining the products we will produce in the next 5 years minimum.

Alot of what you read here is 'lingo' heavy and reads like a techbro bible. I assure you I am far from this and hoping to distinguish myself from the rest of the AI bubble that currently exists.

To do so takes alot of research and documentation, so the full of my plans can be found in the powerpoints and word documents (pdfs overall) that I post on this and other platforms. The front face of the company for now is very broad and wordy because I have not had time to refine a summary of what we do and to fully summarize the GANTT/decadal plans.

Please give me one more month until there is another milestone update to the website - but from now on I will be doing it in pieces so keep an eye on each section as I add to it. The PRIMARY location where updates and discussion will take places is the discord, so please join and introduce yourself.
