About
Topgrading means selecting the best from among many options. It is largely a practice of discovery - based on selection criteria - and followed by an assessment of options. It means choosing the best - which can also be the most expensive and challenging, but it is worth it if a robust option for Solving Pressing World Issues is required.
Things like seeking the Extraordinary, Peak Performers, and Superheroes. Everyone loves them and many want to be one. A Positive Psychology perspective indicates that anyone can do it, pending their 10,000 Hours.
Topgrading could apply to Subject Matter Experts, organizations, products, institutions, etc.
Action
The most inspiring act of collaborative development could be the coordination of a large number of Distributive individuals possessing significant technical knowhow and sharing it as open source. For CV/AI/Open Silicon/Hydraulics/Sensors/Robotic Arm/CNC, etc - the field is ripe for interdisciplinary synthesis. This requires highly skilled individuals with interdisciplinary skillsets to collaborate. Transforming fixed mindsets and bridging culture wars, while solving pressing world issues - this is the thing to do.
Enterprise Synthesis
We short circuit endless debate by going all in, full lifetime commitment. Starting at college age, with exit as one of the various enterprises that are not only transformative but also sublime. The elite track is for the Distributive Movement Entrepreneur who plays to greed to enable shared abundànce - linking this apparent contradiction.
Disclaimer
Before topgrading, we must ask good questions. For example, we should not strive to be the best at being evil. We must select good things to pursue. Thus, topgrading must start with asking Important Questions.
