One of the key elements of turning around economies are strong education systems. Ignorance is bad, to cure ignorance one needs knowledge, to get knowledge one needs to be educated.
The question at that point becomes:
- if we wanted to optimize education systems, how would they be structured, what would students be taught, and so on..
I'd make the argument that they'd ideally have a focus on:
- practical basics: reading, writing, basic arithmetic, communicating
- practical life-skills: politics, logic, finance, home-care, health
- philosophy and religion
And all of this would lean towards teaching students the raw truth about objective reality without regard for taboos.
