How Smart we-can-be is dependent on how we develop/treat/use our 6 Brains, etc. Being a Smarter Human-Being is a matter of personal choice — when you know: What is? a Human Being, literally and figuratively.

Unfortunately, the USA today has a debilitating handicap that has eviscerated America's Promise and brought America to its Economic Knees. The Culprit? America's Cognitive Intelligence-driven Matriarchal Universities and their Protégés => U.S. K–12 Schools + School Districts + Community Colleges. All School Board members + School Administrators + School Teachers are graduates of U.S. Universities. School Staff are State Licensed, which can-be America's salvation.
Compulsory attendance to U.S. K–12 failing institutions denies U.S. K–12 students equal protection of the Law. The propaganda that proselytizes Higher Education-Schooling and attendance to U.S. Universities constitutes Honest Services Fraud. “We are now engaged in a great Civil War testing whether the USA and America's Promise can survive the Ramifications and Consequences of Cognitive Intelligence during our Fascist Oligarchy-driven 4th Industrial Evolution.” – JMC

Today’s U.S. Universities havedisarmed Americans intellectually and canceled America’s Promise
Ben Franklin added Arithmetic and Science to UPenn’s curriculum to help American Farmers improve their crop yields and help shop-keepers and craftsmen to set up operating budgets and increase their Profits — making UPenn the first “For the People” University in the World. (All other Universities were engaged in prepping ministers to staff specific religions. U.S. Schoolihg/Education has become a Religion.)
Since Ben Franklin was also a major contributor to the U.S. Constitution and its ratification, and is considered one of the 3 smartest men who has ever lived (Leonardo da Vinci, Ben Franklin, and Albert Einstein) his example might be one to follow. Today’s U.S. Universities and their graduates have become Pedantic Predators who have Culturally castrated Americans intellectually and canceled America’s Promise by sidelining the U.S. Constitution and its Principles of Governance (aka: Rules of Law) that are intended to protect Americans' Rights -- while dumbing-down Americans so they wouldn’t notice. The Age of Automation and its driving force - A.I. - will reward those who can => Communicate coherently +
acquire knowledge exponentially + make Connections On-the-Fly that create accurate Context and on-Demand Concepts that initiate constructive Solutions. Over 32% of the U.S. Workforce have University/College Degrees. That’s 3 times the average among industrialized Nations. Plus, our Community Schools have become Detention Centers with locked doors and armed guards + student PTSD + stashes of readily available Narcan + student Daily Absenteeism Rates that are 20+ times what they were when I, John Comer, went to school. Once upon a time. The result is => The most extensive / Expensive University / College / K–12 Schooling in the world doesn’t graduate competent executives / managers / employees to staff/support a U.S. Globally Competitive/Adaptive Industrial Workforce and cannot meet the competitive challenges of the 4th Industrial Evolution. And, has generated the lowest Voter-participation rate among industrialized Nations — 32% of U.S. eligible Voters elected Donald Trump POTUS. 38%-did-not-vote!

Intellectual Alert: Scientists just announced the discovery of the most successful Cognitive Intelligence-driven Community in history: A 34,000 year-old Termite Mound. Termite Mounds are-emulated almost entirely in Structure, Function and Operation by U.S. Universities + U.S. Colleges + U.S. local Schooling Districts and Corporate America. You can Google facts and statistics!
Students who can't find suitable employment after their graduation + their Parents + Taxpayers can afford-ably recoup their investment and collect Damages for their time-spent in school from their University, College or Prepping Program for Breach of Contract based on Honest Services Fraud — that borders on Sedition — in Federal Count under the 7th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It is similar to Small Claims Court with a Jury that has the Power of Nullification. Government agencies whose actions Violate their contract of employment by denying U.S. Citizens their Constitutional Rights, violate the U.S. Constitution and waive their Right to Sovereign Immunity. U.S. Law Schools and State Bar Associations don't seem to require Attorneys to have read the U.S. Constitution, et al, even though they take an-Oath to protect and defend itl
Retrac.com — provides Visitors / potential Ys-Mavericks with the Tools and Skill Sets People-need to increase their Intellectual Capabilities + Competencies + Perspectives in order to successfully Deal-with / Participate / Use Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and its Age of Automation in the U.S. Workforce and in their Lives. The Art of Being a Smarter Human Being involves using Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) to increase our Ambient Intelligence (A I) to develop our “Intellectual Acuity” to enhance our “Contextual Intuition” — making us "Consciously Conseqquential" and giving us a “competitive advantage” in the Workforce + Relationally + Socially.
A.I.has accelerated the need to-be Smarter Human Beings and can add +$24/hour +$36/hour +$48/hour to our Income/Salary (FT/PT) => in 3 – 6 – 9 – 12 months.

Retrac.com is the largest "Virtual" one-room schoolhouse in the USA — with 4 DIY Ys-Prepping Rings + Ys-Annexes + Ys-Alcoves, each hosting RoundTables of Collaborative Clusters with Virtually live-Ys-Mavericks — No Videos — that are available everywhere in the USA, 24/7, “VirMotely” on their Smartphone, Laptop, Desktop. We also offer Socratic Agoras = Knowledge-based Discussions with Interlocutor.RoundTables = How-to Discussions with Coaching.Star Chambers = How-to manage your life with Mentor and Fee-based Certification, Credentialing and References.
We Hope visitors will take a quick-Tour of our Virtual one-room schoolhouse that they can access “VirMotely” before they analyze our Content and Presentations. They may find our DIY presentations are too different from their conventional U.S. Rote & Regurgitate Schooling experience. If their GPA is/was 3.2+, DIY On-the-Fly
may-not-be in their Intellectual Tool Box and becoming a Ys-Maverick is not in their Game Plan.
For the Time-challenged – Our Human Physique and PhysiologyComponents as they-can Influence our Intellectual Capabilities + Competencies + Contextual Intuition + Strategic Adaptability.
During the Age of Automation + A.I., the primary skill set is Literacy = How-to-acquire + retain + recall => Knowledge. The Primary Student obstacles to developing this Skill-Set are ADHD + Autism and Civilian-PTSD. ADHD is real and the first indication of superior Actual Intelligence and Ys-tendencies.
Autism and Civilian-PTSD are socially generated disorders caused by their Parents and U.S. Schooling that insists that children act just like their Parents and their Teachers — and follow the 3Rs+CC (Rote - Regurgitate - Replicate - surmise + Conform and Comply). Individual Deviation results in a Diagnoses of Autism and Ostracism and/or Civilian-PTSD and isolation. Both are actually normal physical reactions to perceived Hostile Environments. Hostile environments result from a unique Human Being’s Perspective of their Situation and Circumstance relative-to their Options and Opportunities and their Aspirations and Expectations.
Comparative/Competitive National Literacy rates will dictate Citizens’ Quality of Life + Lifestyle + Civility + Equitable access-to Social Justice.
Currently, the USA’s Literacy Rate is ranked 16th among the industrialized Nations. And, in all other Knowledge Assimilation Skills, Americans are below-average, Resulting-in —
The USA has the highest per-capita incarceration-rate, with the highest recidivism-rate in the World + accelerating Rancor in America’s States, Cities,Streets and Public places + statistically/measurably increasing Civilian-PTSD — as evidenced by younger Americans increasing Obesity, Drug use, OD-ing and Suicide rates. Xi said, “… the U.S. doesn’t have a Drug-supply problem, the U.S. has a Drug-Demand Problem.”
Thanks to our U.S. University-built matriarchal Education Matrix (K-8-12-16-20 schooling) over 86% of American Adults can't speak/read/write American English well enough to participate in a Collaborative Discussion in a 21st Century U.S. Tech-dependent Workplace. Which-is-Why the USA’s companies/businesses are losing the Global Trade Competition + U.S. Domestic Market share — and the USA has rising Consumer / Federal National Debts, fueled by past/present rising Inflation.

FYI: Personal Fix
Skill Sets that can-be seen and heard that identify — Us — while making a first impression.
To get in the Game of Life and develop the Intellectual Acuity to participate in the Human Race — and Survive and Thrive during A.I. and the Age of Automation — you must learn how-to Communicate at superior levels (speech, reading, writing and body language). So said Steve Jobs and so says Elon Musk. Learn How-to Speak + Read American English at Top-Tier Age of Automation Employment levels so you can participate in A.I.-driven, spontaneous or scheduled, Collaborative Discussions — and be considered an indispensable Cog-in your employer’s margin-building workflow > in 3 Months -- via DIY (Do-it-Yourself) On-the-Fly with Google + Retrac.com’s Tutoring + Interlocutory + Coaching + Mentoring Services — and earn Degrees of Strategic Adaptability + Degrees of Contextual Intuition — attesting to the fact that you are Consciously Consequential. Our most common Communication Tools are Speech and Listening. Speech comprehension depends on articulation = the clarity of our 44 speech Phonemes and our speaking
vocabulary, which is generally 50% of our reading vocabulary. Our ability to Listen and hear = understanding what is actually being said and Why. Is the Speaker enhancing their own position or benefiting their Audience? We have a speech-based reading system. The better we speak, the faster our reading speeds. The faster our reading speeds, the better our comprehension. The better our comprehension, the better our on-Demand Memory = the higher our Pay Checks The Human Mind can comprehend 800–1,200 words per minute (aka: wpm). Our Goals should-be: To Speak up-to 220 modulated wpm. Read at 360–480 wpm. Write coherently — A much slower Process that allows us to communicate without Presence, plus it affords us the opportunity to organize our thinking Processes and gives us some control of how our ideas are presented + ingested + digested.
— A Short Test — ofyour current speaking + reading speeds
___________________________________
Know This => in personal-Communication, words/language are only a-part of the Process. the English language speech involves 44 Phonemes = Speech Sounds.
In Speech: Words only constitute 40% of your message. Modulation is 20%, Body Language is 30%, and Situation + Circumstance is 10%.
In Writing: Words constitute 60%, with vocabulary having a 10% modulating influence. Cursive or Print = 30%. Cursive => Legibility; Print => Readability = typeface, line space (line length), layout and presentation.
You can Learn-how-to Speak + Read + Write at — noticeably — Superior Levels => not necessarily by yourself: 3–5 participants is fastest and easier.

— How good is your speech?—
Canyou make the 44 Phonemes that constitute spoken English — clearly and distinctly?
Sayeach of the following loudly 3 times. On a scale of 1-10 (high), how do you rate yourself?
“She sells seashells by the seashore."
“Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
“Give papa a cup of proper coffee in a copper coffee cup.”
