Internet Forum: a catalyst for change
I claim that the educational institutions of all Western democratic nations are very conservative. They are designed to foster the status quo. As such they are focused upon graduating individuals with the means to maximize production and consumption.
Our technology has provided us with the capacity to easily slip into a condition that will end human life.
We must provide a means for our citizens to quickly recognize this fact and to develop a new path for human enlightenment following the end of school days. Only with a significant advance in our general intellectual sophistication can we hope to develop a basis for restructuring society and thereby save humanity from a quick extinction.
I see no other vehicle than the Internet discussion forums presently available to provide that catalyst for change.
If you find merit in this claim I would like to discuss it further.
