Welcome
to Retrac.com —
The only "Portal of Preparation" to the U.S. 21st Century’s Age of Automation Workforce that has been tempered on the Anvil of Experience.
     
The Age of Automation is upon us. "A-Blessing" for the Prepared. "A-Bummer" for U.S. University and U.S. University-built Elementary/Secondary School Systems Graduates — who are locked in Cognitive Intelligence and its SOP that is DOA in tomorrow’s upper Echelons of Industrial / Commercial / Agricultural America. The Future belongs to those who-Prepare for it.
     
Ben Franklin said, “Failing to Prepare is preparing to Fail.” A.I. will be The Great Sorter. To-be or not-to-be Sorted-badly is now a personal choice. A Clue for the Clueless. Socrates said, “The wise man knows that what is good for the Community is good for him. Regardless of size.”

  
A Community with an A.I.- based Tech-oriented Workforce
will generate an equitable per Capita income, a higher quality Resident Lifestyle + safer streets, safer schools, safer public events, and much lower PTSD inspired Drug use among the young, plus lower incarceration and recidivism rates — all of which can lower local taxes and attract Tech-oriented Businesses to a Community.
   
Retrac.com Hosts and Preps individuals ages
16–60 who wish to-become autonomous Adults, who can afford-to live their life on their own terms – more or less. We are talking about the 24% of the U.S. Workforce who have enough Ambient Intelligence to build Intellectual Acuity. We leave Cognitive Intelligence built + U.S. University-developed Schooling to Religions + Professional Services + Personal Services + Grunt Labor + Sales and Distribution.
   
A.I. lacks the "I's to C" (intuition - imagination - integrity to Collaborate)

Retrac.com is an "Initiator" of Services that can properly / adequately Prep individuals for successful participation in the 21st Century U.S. Age of Automation Workforce, regardless of their Academic experience.

Retrac.com is Backup, Reference or Support (available 24/7) presenting How-to Capabilities and Competencies that complement each individual Participant‘s Aspirations and unique-Physique + Physiology + Intellect + Interests + potential Capabilities.

What you should also know is! =>
     
The absolute-best Computer driven A.I. can-do is match the Intellectual capabilities of a Pre-Puberty Human Child’s Cognitive Intelligence and Perspectives. (They have already developed their Core Value System.)
     
A.I. is strictly TASK-oriented and the assigned Task should not have more than 3 optional-CPU-Connections and that A.I.-driven Task will still have a 10%–40% error-factor that can disrupt Productive Workflows and reduce a company's Margins.
     
A.I. Errors that only a Tuned-up Human Intellect can interpret + evaluate + Fix (pdf)

Albert Einstein said: There are only two things in the Universe that are-Infinite — the Universe and
Human Stupidity. And he’s not sure about the Universe. However, we Humans can swim upstream => Ys-ly.

How-to: Become an apt-Adaptive
Human Being — Actually —
by activating our Intellectual Acuity


It’s Our Life – We can live it "Ys-ly" – if we start with: What are Human Beings – structurally? And how do our structure component structures automate our Functionality? => Actually.
("Ys" = Y plural pronounced “Wise”, while also referencing Human
XY Chromosome-built DNA that activates our Ambient Intelligence.)
     

Human-Beings are Technically: Homo Sapiens Sapiens in extant – extended by A.I. If you don’t get the connection, you will soon.
   
We are ankle-deep into the 4th Intellectual Reformation + the 4th Industrial Evolution = The Age of Automation. The Times they are a-changin'.
     
To live our Lives more-or-less on our own terms is up-to-Us! Can be done by understanding:
Why we are => Who we are => individually.
   
We are each a unique Human Being! => One-size-Learning does not fit all. Particularly our Capabilities + Competencies + Skill Sets + Perspectives + Aspirations + Beliefs + Value Systems.

We are 1st and foremost Human Beings! Physically + Physiologically + Intellectually.
     
It is time to Tune-up + Soup-up our Components to Age of Automation Standards — And Join the U.S. Workforce of the 21st Century — Competently + Collaboratively + Competitively => Smarter.
     
Can we be Smarter? Absolutely! By Resurrecting our dormant Ambient Intelligence and Discovering =>
Step 1) What we are? Actually!
Step 2) Why we are who we are? Really!
Step 3) How-to Know where we are? Literally.
So that we can acquire => The Art of Being Smarter => in the 21st Century.
     
For those of you who have spent your schooling lives Rote and Regurgitating for Grades and promotions, DIY may be a bit of a-Challenge. So we provide Guides ("Nav Charts") for your early explorations into the World of being noticeably and usefully Smarter.
