Modules on Virtual Memory | Making the Most of Ancestral Intelligence

This project was conceived to better understand the future of the internet, given Generative AI and the burgeoning population. This ultimately has to do with the increasingly abundant amount of information, and our increasing collective ability to remember a lot of what has happened, and recollect what has happened; all of us, Generative AI included. I would like that we amended our current semantics to Generative Ancestral Intelligence , as I think that this gives a clearer idea for the matter of discussion. Below find the modules for this iterative journey through the expanse of The Mind.  The Mind - A Human Faculty What is the mind and what can it do - planetarium What can the mind be trained to do and how do we approach the education of the mind - library and/or university Literacy & Symbolism Language Math Science Social Studies Web Literacy Integration and Creative Thinking The Internet - The Virtual Mind - The Computer Lab What are Data Storage and Documentation?

A Quick Tiny Home Conversion

A quick tiny home conversion. Fence posts, used as a bench, ($4) were cut and placed on cinder blocks, which raised the house for my growing and very tall child. As a base for a table I used a 20lb cat litter container, which doubles nicely as a storage bin. The table top is a whiteboard / blackboard (2×4' was $8 at HD). This unused tiny home has now become a homeschool schoolhouse for our daughter.

Curb Carriage Wheel-Axel Restoration

Carriage wheel restoration took 4 bic pens (lengthwise cut with dissection scissors), crazy glue for the stress cracked wheels, and hot glue to reinforce. The wheel frame had to be stabilized because it was creeping inward on the axis. That's what caused the wheel stress. The wheels and the hub are one piece so that was all cracked up. We'll have to be careful with it, but I think it should be good for dollie transport again.

99c Store Derived Magnetic Board

Makes for a pretty weak magnetic board, but strong when considering the bond it creates between my daughter and I.

Snow Biking

The safest way to travel. These snow tires I picked up from Amazon and I'll have to check out the name of them, something like schwabla, they have metal spikes embedded in the tire and are extremely effective with regard to traction. Seen here are 700c by 30s. The bike was picked up for $50 from the Shelby Forest sale of old rental inventory. The tires were a hundred bucks for the set, on sale, on Amazon. 2 Schwalbe Winter 700Cx30C Wire Kevlar Guard Reflex Studded 50TPI 50-95PSI 805g Tire, Black, 28" x 1.20

Magnetic Board

Cut the top and bottom off of a coconut water container. Used a c clamp to hold the open cylinder to a utility sink for a cut lengthwise to open up to a flat steel sheet. Cuts were initially made with a hacksaw and then a quick cut with the "drill-based circular saw". To assemble the magnetic board, insert the steel sheet into the plastic document frame and pretty up with a decal on the front. You'll need stronger magnets to work effectively through the few mm thick plastic. Pic updates for the magnet board. Doesn't work best through the plastic. Next designs might be to recycle old full backed magnets and use them instead of the coconut water can.
