"The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why." - Einstein

While Neuroscience is making progress in understanding the human brain and intelligence, there is comparatively little progress in understanding the mind. Neuroscientists have no serious model of how the mind functions. The widespread assumption is that somehow millions of neurons fire in the brain to produce the mind. They equate brain with mind and intelligence with consciousness, even though they’re separate things. As long as this confusion exists, there can be no authentic discussion on how to stimulate creativity within education. So a new paradigm on the mind needs to be understood first.

This video explains a new paradigm on the the brain/mind dynamic. It is from OIsource, the commercial arm of LED accelerator.

Why the evolved paradigm on the mind and AI is central to understanding LED Accelerator?

Mind Model Paradigm: The mind subconsciously saves to memory all sensory information input that the body sees, hears and experiences. Memory is therefore just established information that the mind can access, use and assimilate to attain unique perspectives to create new information in the form of incremental innovation. This is the process of creativity. In this process, the mind’s force (e.g. volts) and transmission capacity (e.g. amps) is limited by how the physical brain is neurologically wired. It becomes necessary, then, for the brain to be constantly rewired by the mind to accommodate the mind’s force and transmission capacity needs. So the more the mind is stimulated to assimilate information, the more the mind rewires and expands the brain’s capabilities. But the physical brain offers resistance (e.g. ohms) to the cognitive mind rewiring it. The addition of emotion to this process acts as a catalyst that stimulates the mind to greater output while simultaneously increasing its force to overcome the brain’s resistance. The AI (Artificial Intelligence) Paradigm So the immense diversity of the human mind is made for innovation of new information and not memorization of established information. In contrast AI excels at aspects of memorization and regurgitation of information. AI will eventually eliminate all future jobs whose main requirement is using memorized information. Furthermore, AI capabilities are advancing to creatively use, assimilate and transform established information into new information. So AI is already and will continue the process of being able to innovate. This capability alongside advancing (mechanical and then biological) robotics will scale and radically change the role of humans in society. AI will even replace humans performing most of the base functions in the STEM disciplines, just like calculators have replaced the need to do complex arithmetic by hand. In the future, the only advantage humans will have compared to AI is our (non-linear divergent) thought, intuition and emotion. These unique attributes give humans the potential of innovating at such advanced levels and speeds that AI can never attain. Unfortunately, this cannot be achieved if students are not taught creative skill sets within the education system. Conclusion Students already sense the obsolescence of the education system. Ask teachers and they will tell you how students now regurgitate-and-forget information they are learning. The ones who have adapted to play this game the best, receive the best grades. This is just an evolutionary response because they know that memorized information is no longer necessary for their survival. Students are using AI as a tool outside of school every day to source any information they want. Their intuition is telling them that being forced to memorize information in school is essentially relegating them to compete with AI. They instinctively understand this is not just counterproductive, it’s self-defeating. Students now want and need to become more creative. This corresponds with the demands of an evolving business ecosystem in which corporate survival now depends on the creativity of their adult teams. Consequently, all priorities in U.S. Education now must refocus on how to teach and develop students’ creative skill sets. This, and only this, will keep America competitive in the 21st century. Therefore, we cannot continue to approach education in the same way and expect different results. Educators will be forced to experiment with teaching systems for decades to come until the evidence clearly points to a final process to implement. This will be a messy transition with many failures. Generations of students will be caught in the cross hairs of those teaching system experiments. LED accelerator is the proactive solution in the form of an ideal U.S. Education system that can be launched now.

Why LED Accelerator will empower American Exceptionalism to lead the world?

Ever since a 19th century writer described America as "exceptional", scholars and politicians have constantly referred to 'American Exceptionalism' in one form or another. All understand intuitively the powerful confluence of American events and resources that have resulted in such a historic impact. While America has been given a good foundation, in order for American Exceptionalism to become sustainable, a bold strategy must be designed and executed successfully. The following three-step process develops a bold strategy: 1.Define the main challenge. 2.Understand the critical factor within that challenge. 3.Apply organizational strength into the 'most promising opportunity' within the critical factor. This bold strategy is applicable to a structured organization of any size. Here is a bold strategy for the structured organization called America: First Step: The main challenge for the America is to innovate through the growth of the economy. In turn, the growth of the economy dictates how quickly social and financial systems inside can advance. Second Step: The critical factor for the growth of the American economy is to have communities continually innovate. In turn, the level of a community's innovation dictates how quickly the business industry ecosystem outside can advance. Third Step: The organizational strength of America is its ability to empower and benefit from billions of decentralized and diverse choices being made within communities. Within any one community, a school of U.S. Education (another structured organization) that can foster innovation is the 'most promising opportunity' to which the organizational strength of America should be applied. But this has not happened because American leadership does not understand this bold strategy. Consequently, U.S. Education was not set up to foster innovation but is instead focused on competing with centralized education systems of other countries. But centralized education systems will always be more effective at developing homogenous students that can memorize and regurgitate current information - which is the opposite of innovation. So the counter productive focus of U.S. Education actually has the result of flipping the organizational strength of America into a weakness. LED accelerator changes this backward dynamic for U.S. Education and leverages the organizational strength of America. LED accelerator is therefore not just another education program. LED accelerator is the missing piece that completes the bold strategy to empower American Exceptionalism to lead the world.
