One Community is in favor of embracing the robot revolution. Robots are replacing people for many jobs and these jobs will never need to be done by people again. The more jobs can be done with machines, the more people can choose more enriching life endeavors like living in and helping build sustainable and self-replicating eco-communities. One Community is developing and open sourcing/free-sharing the foundations for people to be able to construct and manage these. These foundations include food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, global stewardship practices, and more.

One Community is building the foundations for how humanity creates a sustainable world through Highest Good education that is for all ages, applicable in any environment, adaptable to individual needs, far exceeds traditional education standards, and more fun for both the teachers and the students. This component of One Community is about 95% complete with only the Open Source School Licensing and Ultimate Classroom construction and assembly details remaining to be finished. We’ll report on the final two elements to be finished as we develop them.
With over 8 years of work invested in the process, the sections below are all complete until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students – a development process that is built directly into the structure of the education program and everything else we’re creating too:
