My Motivations

Scientific research has revealed far better ways to learn, collaborate, and live. However, most people have not yet had a chance to gain the benefits of this emerging information.

Thus, my motivation is to get this information out into the real world so that every person and group can reap the benefits.

Regarding benefits, most of us prefer a system that works. Thus, my motivation is to design such a system.

Summary: My motivation is to design a better system of education. Better means all the usual things: better results, less cost, more enjoyable, easier, simpler, and so on.
