I think some of these ideas are logically impossible. For instance primates without weapons are not somehow suddenly enlightened. Far from it, they're primates waiting to be conquered and controlled by other primates with weapons -- something they probably won't have to wait too long for. Similarly, there is no such thing as free healthcare. Healthcare costs an immense amount of labor, technology, and resources to facilitate. These things have to be paid for by somebody. The same is true, to a lesser degree, of education. Paying for these things socially is not trivial. For instance the NHS in London has been one of the icons of success on this front, yet it's sustainability is now becoming a constant concern as people are living longer, growing fatter, and populations are increasing.
On other points, I don't even see an idea. #5 is the obvious one there, but I'm going to avoid that wasp's nest for now. Although even better education is perhaps the same thing. Today there are more people with college degrees than there were with high school degrees at a time that's still in the living memory of some in this nation. What do you mean and what would you expect to be the outcome?
