An interesting point of view

There is a great problem with this article.

It still views the whole world as machine for producing goods, generating profits and continuing infinite growth and consumption.

I do not see the human beings in the picture.

The writer's idea of education is giving skills to people, so the "robots" can do their jobs better, help production and consumption more, increasing competitivenes, bla bla bla...

Same old mantra.

It seems we are unable to disconnect from the idea that we were born into this world to consume and generate profit.

According to this attitude this is the whole life about, how skilfull I am producing goods, how much money I have to purchase them to keep up with the high earners.

There is a very deeply troubling theme there and unfortunately it is imprinted in all of us. We are slaves, we are programmed to be good producers and even better consumers.

But life is not about this at all.

And what the global crisis is doing to us it is liberating us up from this slavery.

This crisis is actually a birth, we are going to be reborn freely, and we will be able to breath again, and start dealing with what is important for a human being: human connections.

The education system will change to grow human beings who are capable of connecting to others in the interconnected interdependent world.

We will produce enough to have a normal, healthy modern life and in the rest of the time we will take others into consideration and build a single, united humanity.

Does it sound as a utopia?

I do not think so, we are already receiving the helping hand from the crisis, that is not going to stop, because this exploitative, profit chasing machienery is self destructing, it is not sustainable in this closed, finite network we have become.

So we need to start preparing for our new life in the mutual, interconnected, truly human world.
