How to absorb and sort out information and knowledge more effectively?
The thing is that we human beings are from making the most are from making the most out of the information and knowledge we have.
We are in general too hung up on what is` and we pay far too little attention to what can be`.
Compared to what can be` our educational systems are in many ways obsolete. A lot of potential talent is wasted. Our learning potential is much bigger than the old educational system can handle. We need a system with much better ramifications, and we need to create new infrastructure in order to make it, worldwide.
Our democracies which are not very democratic are also in many ways obsolete in terms of what we need in order to solve our problems better.
Instead of voting for political parties we should be voting for alternative and qualified solutions.
Can you think of any country in this world which is not badly run in many ways?
And most countries are littered with corruption and too much bureaucracy. We need new ways of doing things which are very different from what we are doing today.
Clues to my media concept:
With enough people as a basis, almost no topic becomes too marginal. You can then cost effectively give in depth information and knowledge on almost any topic or question, be able to angle things from so many perspectives that whatever your background or interests, you should be able to find what you are looking for. With ample focus on in depth information and knowledge from just about all perspectives and possibilities you do not need so many overlapping media telling the "same" stories in more or less the same way. More time and resources can then be used better.
You can in fact effectively erase the barriers between different kinds of information and knowledge whether it is intended basically for formal education, trade, job, research or simply variuos pieces of information put forward in many ways from different sources.
There are a lot of advantages to be be gained from doing that:
One is that we can come to focus as much as time and resources on what can be` as we do today on what is`. Another huge advantage is that the biggest difference between our world`s educational systems should simply be the various languages it is conducted in.
Have you heard about the guy who wakes up after 150 years in a coma?
He is asked if he recognizes anything and he says: Well, the churches.... and the schools."
I do not advocate change just for the sake of change, but we should be more open to new concepts which can make our world a better place to live.
Imagine a world in which being cheerful is the most common mood among people. That would be a clear of a world that is much better run than today. The collected wisdom of our planet should ideally form the basis on how we manage our lives.
I welcome comments to this article.
I think my media concept can really improve the ways we absorb and sort information and knowledge, and I am looking for someone who wants to create it in real life. Feel free to contact me.
