Building Better Humans, Building a Better World
Traditional education has focused on giving people the skills to plug into a career.
Abundant Education (AE) changes that, focusing on building better humans so they can then build a better world.
Jobs will be disappearing, as AI and robotics continue to advance.
Yet taking care of one’s self and family will be essential.
Abundant Education is “the good” in the age of abundance.
Instead of learning just skills, people must learn to truly care for one another, a task that is beyond the scope of any AI or robot.
Getting paid to learn means getting paid to be a better human.
AE is personal and private. As each person follows their own individual learning program that they themself choose every step of the way.
Because humans are naturally curious, the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic will be part of everyone’s path to maturity, but will be chosen for learning by each individual at the time they realize the necessity of learning particular skills to become a better human.
Status in this new world will not be by what you do, but by your learning progress to be a better human.
A Bifurcated World
The age of abundance will initially be characterized by two sorts of people, those who have invested their surplus in very large AI and robotics ventures, and therefore have a lot of surplus, and those who have not, who find their skills near worthless in the new economy of abundance.
AE is arguably the best way to get the surplus of those with it to those without it. Work is still involved, but the work is to make yourself a better human, not to own a lot of surplus.
Owners of large surplus will need to share that surplus with others or they will find themselves having their surplus taken by the political power of those without.
Getting the surplus where it needs to be is both the greatest problem in the history of the world and the greatest opportunity in the history of the world.
The Best World, even Zion?
Some of the leading thinkers in the world are onto solving this problem. People like Peter Diamondis, Emad Mostaque, and Elon Musk.
Yet all of these thought leaders approach the problem from a secular perspective, ignoring that there is a God in their analysis, and that our world is as much social as it is physical.
Abundant Zion is the goal. Teaching all to love all. Truly A to Z, even as Jesus is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and Omega.
