The Forge
The Forge is a new way to train professionals that replaces the old 'school' or 'factory' style of learning. Since information is now free and machines can do basic tasks, The Forge focuses on helping people learn by rebuilding the hands-on relationship between a master and an apprentice, ensuring people can still gain deep expertise.
The Forge is a professional development infrastructure designed to address the 'Squeezed Middle' by shifting from traditional instruction to substrate-development. It utilizes a seven-step mechanism to facilitate skill acquisition in an environment where content is commoditized and entry-level tasks are automated, effectively modernizing the master-apprentice model.
The third model of professional education (Guild then Factory then Forge): substrate-development infrastructure that deliberately rebuilds the master-apprentice chain for an age when the apprentice's work is done by a machine. A seven-step mechanism; the antidote to the Squeezed Middle. (C4AIL, Whitepaper IV.)
