The written record. Comfortable summaries of every document — with clear labels distinguishing framework proposals from forecast assumptions.
White paper · framework proposal
Class of 2040 — White Paper Public Draft 1.0 The full editorial statement of the framework.
Summary
One central argument: school must build a mind capable of standing without AI, and a person capable of accomplishing far more with it. A two-part architecture — Foundations and Studios — joined in a flywheel. A six-part graduate profile, a developmental progression for AI use, a new three-column transcript, and a staged 2027 → 2040 roadmap. Explicitly scenario-robust: the education argument survives even if the forecast is wrong. Kind of document: Framework proposal — the argument, not a forecast of the world.
Planning baseline · not a prediction
Adam Brotman 2040 Forecast Baseline Version 1.0 · July 2026 A deliberately realistic-but-transformative 2040 scenario used as a planning input.
Summary
Expert-level AI is ubiquitous; the capability curve stays steep while the economic curve remains S-shaped. ~55% conventional employment, ~25% agent-leveraged independents, ~20% non-market work. Scarcity relocates down the stack to compute, energy, chips, land, trust, and human attention. Politics determines distribution — broad prosperity is possible but not automatic. Kind of document: Forecast assumptions — a stress test, not a claim of certainty.
Presentation · 18 slides
The keynote deck — v3 Public Draft 1.0 The compressed argument as delivered in the keynote.
Summary
18 chapters — from the central thesis through the roadmap and closing. Meant to be read alongside the white paper for supporting detail. Kind of document: Framework proposal in short form.
A polished, in-browser reader with sticky table-of-contents and per-section margin notes is planned for the next revision. For now the full documents are downloadable as Word files and summarized above.
