Economics
A working understanding of how economies actually behave — how scarcity drives choice, how markets allocate resources (and fail to), how money and policy steer the macroeconomy, and how trade, behavior, and institutions shape long-run prosperity. The trunk gives you the throughline a literate citizen needs; clusters dive into elasticity, market failures, consumer/producer theory, monetary and fiscal policy, trade policy, behavioral finance, and economic history.

Game Theory
A working understanding of game theory — the study of how rational agents make decisions when outcomes depend on each other's choices. The trunk gives you the core solution concepts and vocabulary; clusters dive into auctions, bargaining, evolutionary games, mechanism design, and where the rational-actor model fails.
Real Estate
How real estate actually works — as an asset class and as a transaction. The trunk covers ownership and title, mortgages and leverage, valuation, the buy/sell process, rentals and landlording, taxes, development, and REITs; clusters go deep on the math and mechanics.
Linear Algebra
A working understanding of linear algebra — vectors, matrices, eigenvalues, and the decompositions that power modern data, graphics, and AI. The trunk gives you the geometric and algebraic core; clusters dive into vector spaces, systems and rank, eigentheory, orthogonality and projections, applications, and numerical computation.
Law
Legal literacy — how law actually works. The trunk gives you the operating system: where law comes from, how courts and precedent work, contracts, torts, property, criminal vs civil, and constitutional structure. Clusters dive into reading cases, contract mechanics, IP, your rights with police, and the startup legal toolkit.
Machine Learning
How machine learning actually works — from learning-as-optimization through the classical toolkit to deep learning and foundation models. The depth step after AI Fundamentals: real mechanics, no code or graduate math required.
Leveraging AI
A beginner-friendly curriculum that builds deep intuition for how AI actually works — not through math or code, but through mental models that make effective use a natural consequence of understanding. Covers how language models think, why they hallucinate, the art of prompting, practical AI workflows for writing, images, and code, and the societal shifts AI is driving. Designed for anyone curious enough to want more than tips and tricks.
