Education! First and foremost, teachers must be paid very well, they are the stewards of knowledge...

Secondly, globalization without universal cultural appreciation has done a lot of damage to what we could consider our collective human heritage. A great dream would be to have schools that rotate around the continents, so that students/scholars/people would be exposed to the best of what other parts of the globe have to offer. It would forward-leap humanity a lot if there were simply better crosstalk between tribes.

Thirdly, the emphasis of education should not be to create/fuck/produce/consume but to actually emphasize co-reliance of beings, species, environment, nature. We cannot exist without our planet, and although we can drive fast places, most people do not realize at what a cost this simple luxury comes. Sure we can advance and make up for some damage, but not making damage in the first place is generally the best idea.

I suppose my main beef is that education is not looked upon as a topic worthy of evolution, when it is in fact the head of the inch-worm of humanity-at-large.
