Your world is not safe

From Environmental Risks to Mechanical Dangers to the Threat of Human Conflict - To be alive is to be exposed & vulnerable.

Core Human Competence is the restoration and development of the skills and awareness you need to recognize and safely navigate the risks in your unsafe world.

Thousands of generations of Homo sapiens passed on essential self-care and survival skills to future generations, preparing them for life. Modern society doesn’t do that anymore. And we are paying the price.

People exist in a constant state of anxiety, depression and fear. They depend on society for everything, and they fear rejection even by those they hate. Few have the skills to live independently. Underdeveloped and immature, they are vulnerable to disruption by outside events. They are children stuck in adult bodies.

Core Human Competence LLC was FORMED to correct this. Rebuilding our innate ability to pick up on changes in our environment while at the same time adapting and developing those capacities to function in our modern world under stresses we never evolved to confront. don’t let a world of cowards take these powerful tools honed over hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution away from you - leverage them.

Core Human Competence

There exists a minimum set of skills whose acquisition is required to in order to become a fully developed, fully mature human. This minimum set of skills is our Core Human Competence.

Just as we exit infancy learning how to walk and talk, skills we learn and master - not instincts, another set of skills separates the immature, undeveloped, pre-adult human from the fully mature, fully developed, adult human. These skills are those that allow us to survive our environments, and each other:

  • Acquisition of Food

  • Sourcing of Water

  • Protection from Elements

  • Capacity for Safety

  • Implementation of Security

Every adult form of every complex organism can demonstrate these competencies within their evolved environments. Every adult form of every complex organism that is denied these competencies (such as animals in captivity) demonstrate the same maladies; anxiety, insecurity, depression, inappropriate aggression, panic.

For most of our history adult humans possessed these competencies.
Our society no longer teaches them. Here we do.
Our society no longer learns them. Here we do.
We are something less than completely human without these skills. Core Human Competence restores the missing piece.

Limbic Fitness

The functional health of one’s limbic system, or mid-brain, exists on a spectrum from sickness to fitness just as our physiological health and cognitive health.

Limbic Fitness:

  • The Capacity to Regulate Emotion

  • The Capacity to Regulate Attention

  • One’s Efficacy in Utilizing Environmental Signals (trained and evolved)

In today’s compromised environment our ability to read inputs has been significantly undermined. Our capacity for threat detection is crippled. People have no concept of the purpose of genuine fear, confusing and conflating it with the numerous other signals overburdening our attention and muting fear’s utility. All driving us away from our natural state of relaxed readiness ideal for taking on every day’s unknown challenges.
