We believe with the right knowledge, Human Intelligence can achieve anything.
And yet most of humanity’s knowledge is trapped offline… in our heads.
Today, exchanging knowledge via the internet requires consciously converting it first to information. But this way is the least natural.
If you have kids, you know we humans evolved to communicate in three sequential (but overlapping) phases:
We conceived Arctalk, a Prompt Conversation Internet Protocol so you can now exchange knowledge over the internet just by talking. No conversation coordination or information conversion required.
With the right knowledge, Human Intelligence can do anything.
Yet 99% of new knowledge is trapped offline because The Web, the internet's primary architecture, was conceived way before Elon started wrapping Earth in a Bandwidth Blanket.
Meanwhile, we humans evolved to communicate in 3 related phases:
1. Simulation (Mimetic) ~ birth
2. Conversation (Mythic) ~ 12 months
3. Information (Symbolic) ~ 24 months
But due to technical limitations like bandwidth, the internet is evolving in reverse to evolution. Forcing us to transform our knowledge into information to exchange it over the internet.
And now we're stuck living in a knowledge economy with an information exchange.
The analog communication protocol of calling is no better.
Want to talk with someone else? First you must interrupt whatever their currently doing (or thinking) then go through greetings followed by explanation for the interruption. This practice seems so barbaric now that texting (exchange information) has become our default.
We wonder how is it that since 1876 phones have become supercomputers - while conversation protocols are the same as when Bell requested "Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you"?
One useful construct to think about The Web is that it digitized libraries. A native digital version that is. Where information recorded by one person could be stored to be accessed later by other people.
What's the equivalent architecture for exchanging knowledge in conversation online? Well just because one didn't exist pre-internet doesn't mean it can't now.
Because new knowledge fuels Human Intelligence, we believe this is the single biggest opportunity to solve. And now, we believe it finally can be.
The Jack was founded to accelerate the internet’s transition to a knowledge exchange.
Step 1 is to steward Arc, Prompt Conversation Internet so we can exchange knowledge without creating information or interrupting.
Stay tuned!
