Stop the AI Stupefaction

Reclaim the human mind with a framework built for the next revolution in learning

The Mastery Flip

Protecting the Human Mind in the Age of AI.

In 2007, I pioneered the Flipped Classroom. Today, we face a "Great Bifurcation": a choice between AI-driven cognitive atrophy or a new era of soaring human potential. The Mastery Flip is a research-backed framework designed to ensure students—not the bots—do the thinking.

The Three Pillars:

  • AI Engines: Using AI as a Socratic coach to scaffold the "productive struggle," not as an answer-generator.

  • Analog Roots: Reclaiming the "Human Space" through paper, tactile learning, and intentional no-tech zones.

  • Human Checks: The only 100% effective solution to AI cheating. Short, 2-minute oral checks that validate mastery and rebuild student connection.
