"The world has become too complex for anyone to understand"
This is why I am excited to see free college tuition enter the debate. What I would love though is two extra mandatory years of high school. Teach government(so people dont think the president is a dictator), law(so people dont get taken advantage of), teach more about other cultures(so people can find out what they have in common, hopefully breaking the echo chamber), teach logic and rhetoric, and some more computer skills, maybe a basic programming class.
While I agree the world is too complex for any one person to understand everything(hence the specialization of labor). I do believe we can do better though, all is not lost :)
- douche 10y agoI'd prefer that more efficient use was made of the four years of high school they've already got people locked in for. Everything listed could be done, in addition to what (little) is already learned in those four years. It might be necessary to reform teachers unions to shake out the deadwood and find budget to double salaries, to raise the average level in the talent pool though.
