Cognitive Noviciate in a Collective Hive

Summary/Abstract: Transcending the practices and mission statements of contemporary citizen science and crowdsource projects, they are not simply about the collectivization of science, but also a manifestations of the need to include more brains in the guilds, designed for scientific problem solving through micro-tasks. But how can we multiply the number of people dealing with science? What are the messages of the possibilities, provided by the division of labor? We argue, that if we need minds in a “pre-digestive” process, it can easily find them where the task is exactly to make these minds able to do (even) scientific work: in the school benches. Natural-born scientists – children, who socialized in the adequate community scope, learn basic knowledge and academic literacy to satisfy their insatiable desire to contribute to knowledge production, can form a new alliance with their teachers. We know lot of best practices of artisan forms of science making in schools, from all over the world. This paper tries to convince the reader to accept that there are many reasons to form giant problem-centered megamachines beyond the existing size. Six of them are briefly explained: managing the elements of cultural micro-heritage locally, the global and civilization challenges, pre-processing of the accumulated scientific raw materials, digitization and trailblazing, supporting the self-recognition of the young generation and the teleology of the lifetime-liberation.
