How to Fund This Work

$300K to Launch Humanity's Wisdom Technology

With AI timelines collapsing, bootstrapping is too slow. We need $300K in immediate resources to:

Launch the Foundation

  • Establish the Noospheric Software Foundation to host, steward and convene globally scalable collaborative cognition
  • Clear financial runway blocking immediate launch

Deploy Working Technology

  • Complete and deploy proof-of-concept of Collaborative Cognition infrastructure
  • Convene 15+ workstreams and collaboration researchers to vet architecture using the live system

Document the Architecture

  • Publish "The Plan" - implementation roadmap for species-scale deployment
  • Release "The Architecture" - technical blueprints for semantic interoperability
  • Write contextualizing papers bridging philosophy, technology and practice
  • Complete essential ontology of epistemological primitives

What Success Enables:
Infrastructure where 8 billion minds can think as one - solving what divided minds cannot. Foundation-governed to prevent the capture that killed "don't be evil." No VCs, no pivots, no paywalls on humanity's wisdom.

This isn't startup funding - it's civilization infrastructure investment.

Why Now?

AI timelines have collapsed from decades to months. Every week matters. While others race to build humanity's replacement, we're building humanity's enhancement - infrastructure where 8 billion minds can think as one.

Join this 48 year bet on wisdom technology, or continue to gamble on whichever sociopath builds AGI first.

You May Earmark Your Gift
