classquake

Every city is already full of teachers. Not just in schools. In kitchens. Garages. Rooftops. Living rooms. Studios. Workshops. Parks. Backyards. People who know how to build, cook, repair, survive, sell, paint, code, garden, negotiate, heal, perform, think, and tell the truth about life. Most of that knowledge is invisible. Classquake makes it visible. We’re building a marketplace for in-person learning experiences; small groups hosted by real people across your city. A person teaches what they know. A small group shows up. Knowledge moves. The host gets paid. The city gets more alive. The old education system turned learning into a factory. The internet turned learning into content. Classquake turns learning back into something human. Your city is a school. We’re just opening the doors.

Turn your living room into a learning hub and teach groups of people in your city.

Never stop teaching. Never stop learning.

Imagine a world where every city has thousands of tiny schools hidden in plain sight. A retired pilot teaches how to think under pressure to a small group in his living room. A street photographer teaches how to actually see people. A woman who survived bankruptcy teaches financial self-defense. A chess obsessive teaches strategy in a coffee shop. A former bartender teaches social intelligence. A gardener teaches how to grow food in his backyard. A divorce lawyer teaches what ruins relationships. A dancer teaches rhythm to people who think they have none. A cybersecurity guy teaches how not to get scammed. A grandmother teaches the recipes nobody wrote down in her kitchen. A local historian teaches the crimes, myths, and ghosts of your neighborhood. A guy who failed three businesses teaches what not to do. People meet. Hosts make money. Knowledge moves. Cities wake up. Just real people teaching real things in real rooms. That’s the world we’re building with Classquake.

The abundance era should not mean everyone sits alone with infinite AI-generated slop. That’s not abundance. That’s a buffet in a prison cell. Real abundance is: more people to learn from more rooms to walk into more skills to try more stories to hear more ways to make money by being useful Classquake is for that world.

I want @classquake to make people say: “wait… the person teaching this is just a normal person?” Yes. Exactly. That’s the point. Normal people are carrying abnormal amounts of knowledge.

Stay curious

The old education system turned knowledge into a factory. The internet turned knowledge into content. @classquake turns knowledge back into an experience.

The missing idea: what if “homeschooling” doesn’t have to mean only parents teaching everything? What if it becomes a local learning network? The nurse teaches first aid. The veteran teaches survival and discipline. The mechanic teaches engines. The chef teaches cooking. The history nerd teaches Rome, empires, wars, civilization. The founder teaches building. Parents don’t have to be the whole school. The city becomes the school. This is what I’m building with @classquake

A city is not just buildings, roads, restaurants, and rent. A city is thousands of untapped minds walking past each other every day. The veteran. The chef. The mechanic. The nurse. The artist. The founder. The old man who knows the neighborhood’s real history. The weird guy who can explain the CIA, Ancient Rome, and Bitcoin in one sitting. @classquake is the layer that turns all of that hidden knowledge into real rooms, real hosts, and real learning experiences. Your city was always a university. We’re just turning the lights on.

Your city is full of retired spies, divorced philosophers, broke artists, ex-marines, genius grandmas, mechanics, chefs, nurses, founders, conspiracy freaks, and people who know things schools would never teach you. @classquake is where they host small-group learning experiences. Your city was always a university. We’re just opening the doors.

I am so bullish on people gathering in rooms. Living room talks. Garage workshops. Rooftop debates. Cooking nights. First-aid classes. Philosophy salons. History rabbit holes. Founder war stories. Veterans telling the truth. Artists showing the process. Weirdly obsessed people teaching weirdly specific things. These things light me up. Not because they’re “educational.” Because they’re alive. The pendulum swung too far toward screens, feeds, AI slop, credential worship, and lonely little dopamine machines in our pockets. But people are starving for real. Real voices. Real rooms. Real attention. Real knowledge. Real human beings close enough to argue with. Expect a massive countersurge of in-person learning over the next few years. @classquake is being built for that world.

Hey @pmarca @pmarca You said the quiet part out loud on @TKPPodcast school was designed like an early-1900s factory, built to stamp out kids optimized for giant hierarchies. It no longer fits the world. And it can’t be fixed, because the people who control it derive their status, power, and income from keeping it alive. So the only real move is to build a new system from scratch. That’s exactly what I’m doing with @classquake a citywide network of in-person, small-group learning experiences hosted by real people - the kind of human-scale alternative the legacy system can’t produce. Fund me.

Specialization is for ants. Humans were not built to spend 40 years becoming a tiny gear in one tiny machine. You’re supposed to know a little about a lot. How food is made. How money works. How your body heals. How engines move. How history rhymes. How people think. How to build, cook, fix, argue, negotiate, survive, create. Not because you need to become an expert in everything. Because life gets more interesting when you’re not intellectually helpless outside your job title. The most useful people are curious across domains. The most alive people are always learning. That’s the spirit behind @classquake

We’re building the infrastructure to change that.

Cities are dense clusters of unused knowledge.

Everyone knows something that could compress years of learning for someone else. Host a learning experience with around what you know and love, we handle the rest.
