Interpersonal Communication

A working understanding of cybersecurity — how attackers operate, how defenders push back, and the moving parts of every modern security program. The trunk gives you the throughline from threat model to defense to response; clusters dive into cryptography, network defense, web application security, secure coding, penetration testing, incident response, cloud security, and governance.

How markets, brokers, and order books actually work — and what the evidence says about trying to beat them. The trunk covers market mechanics, asset classes, leverage, and the risk math every participant needs; clusters dive into microstructure, execution, the retail arenas, sizing math, psychology, manias, and strategy evidence.

A working understanding of finance and investing — how capital markets price risk, how companies create value, how investors build portfolios, and where the math meets human psychology. The trunk gives you the throughline; clusters dive into financial statements, valuation, corporate finance, bonds, portfolio construction, derivatives, and behavioral finance.

A practical track that takes you from zero to shipping working software. The trunk gives you the throughline — how to think in code, write a program, and put it in front of users — and clusters dive deep into thinking tactics, Python craft, engineering for change, real-world shipping, and working alongside AI assistants without letting them put garbage in your codebase.

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.

A coherent, mechanistic picture of how the Earth actually works as a coupled system — its biogeochemical cycles, climate physics, ecosystems, pollution pathways, and the leverage points where solutions live. The trunk gives you the throughline a working professional needs to reason about environmental claims; clusters dive into circulation, ecology, paleoclimate, climate modeling, pollution, energy, and mitigation.
