BORN WITH a natural curiosity about the surrounding environment and a burning desire to fit in, children emulate and mimic adults with an inherent sense of belonging.
Society must foster and instil that genuine love of learning from a very early age, allow an earlier start to decision-making and dream-structuring, share the benefits of intelligence across communities, and continuously be a highly skilled and wise population.
Inventions and innovations will soon erode unskilled jobs, leaving basic tasks to technology driven devices, operators and mechanics. Society will adapt by engaging training applications suitable to every type of learning and testing to encourage, achieve and recognise individual skill measurements.
Challenging, teaching, exposing, learning and testing basic communication, while detecting, encouraging and advancing specific talents and thinking in some, is the objective. With modern knowledge about the human brain, learning and employing specialised techniques have been designed to speed up the formation of neuron (electro-chemical) connections, and as science continues to map and learn more about brain functions, more methods of development, repair and enhancing are expected.
Setting societies on a course, resulting in children, from birth to 12 years old, trained to communicate, interact, perform and problem solve, as presently expected in humans from birth to 18 years old.
Decisions guided by consequences will relinquish some level of parental control, but with proper guidance and mentoring, between the ages of 13 and 18, teenagers will learn and appreciate self-determination, be better able to make their own choices as to the pursuit and the development of their talents, friendships, associates, sex, crime, and so on.
For it is these young minds that truly innovate, identifying a problem or opportunity and dreaming up a solution. Many never had or lost the ability to structure solutions, due to a lack of encouragement, distractions and being forced in a different direction. Society, in an effort to reduce crime and guide youth into productive avenues, needs to incubate and structure such dreams, while constantly examining reactions on the environment and the ecology.
Young adults, 18 to 30, should agree to spread, among their peers, and share benefits internationally, as a component of accreditation; tertiary education, technical models, cross discipline working teams, or technological exchanges, across all faculties, industries and sectors, gaining both social and work experience. Such human resource exchanges would add to both diplomatic and trade relationships.
Health care and education, culture, languages and art, disaster and emergency, water, waste and electricity and other exchanges will also bring real benefits all economies, when it comes to activities such as voting at the United Nations.
Human beings’ survival depends on their constant adaptation and transfer of knowledge. To be healthy and flourish while restocking the food supply with renewable nutrition, to power equipment via renewable energy sources and to advance knowledge into wisdom and happiness. Noting that wisdom is about the shelving of egos; considering “we instead of I”. Happiness can only exist in a group, hence making others happy is in itself rewarding.
