Sculpting One 'Ouse · The LMBoK (The projects)
and (The Arts) to Be Human (The philosophy · Watch video)
Twenty-five years across enterprise technology, international education, and community life, always building towards my (yes, utopian, but measurable and therefore achievable) vision of an intuitive — and forever free — human learning platform that can help us reshape and promulgate a new gold standard for global quality of life.
“Curiosity may have killed a few cats, but lacking it painfully gnaws away at the ~9 billion living.”
Humancurriculum.org/.info sparked out of a few neurons firing a few decades ago, then drowned in the backburner while I climbed the corporate ladder. I burned my ladder. I highly recommend it. This (lexical) home is now a haven for those who tread (often alone) against the trending and the fashionable. A place where words can do the warring — until we evolve into dancing.
My parents migrated from Lebanon to Canada in 1987, where I experienced most of my schooling years. I climbed through Canada's technology sector from datacentre helpdesk to national manager, then led national border IT security infrastructures across West Africa. I made a deliberate turn toward education in 2016, teaching and building curricula across China, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Earned a Master of Education and lectured at Vietnam's highly regarded Foreign Trade University, while advising organizations on information strategy in the NGO and climate consulting sectors.
I'm fluent in English and French, proficient in Arabic, and keep building working knowledge of whatever languages I encounter — Mandarin, Spanish, Vietnamese, and counting. Learning is fun when intentional. Exploring permaculture across South America and East Asia these past years, learning to design climate-friendly systems with concepts like regenerative agriculture, bioconstruction, and water management. This knowledge domain along with knowledge of the self are what I consider human kindergarten.
So then, what is driving all this meandering? "A rolling stone gathers no moss."
Solving this problem is my life goal and personal mission. My learning and my work choices must always bring me closer to achieving this vision. Winning alone makes everyone else a loser; growing together makes everyone else a winner. No matter how challenging this may be, we must resiliently persist until everyone is given access to equal opportunity. No matter what we choose to do, we simply cannot allow the nonsense we have now to continue.
