2024-01-10 18:00:06tl;dr: 'hack' means to leverage what we have for an outsized gain, and that is normally done with a machine; our goal is 'fluency' and our process is to 'improve one percent everyday'.
In 'How to Survive the Apocalypse' we covered our first 'hack' and said it is the 'void out of which the other hacks come', we'll call this hack-0 and we'll need time and experience to explain what we mean.
Next we define our terms, goals and process.
We've used hack several times so what do we mean? The dictionary term talks about cracking computers for illicit means but that is not what we mean, hack is to use what we know and have in a novel way to improve our and our family, community and the Worlds standard of living. Humans have normally done this with a machine and the simplist machine is a fulcrum and lever, so in short by hack we mean to use a machine to leverage what we have to achieve an outsized result.
The computer is a universal machine and is a good place to start as it can be used for many tasks (universal) to make a positive difference in our and our loved ones' lives.
What do we mean by 'fluency'. Normally this word is used when talking about language but what we mean is doing a learned task from (muscle) memory without having to check our notes.
So having covered our definition and goal we need to address our process and that is to improve ourselves 1% everyday whether in specific task or in general, seeking fluency.
