Hey! Great minds think alike!
And thanks for the reminder, Kimmo! Education was one of the systems I was thinking I needed to re-emphasize somewhere now that we were trying to put the business friendly aspects up front.
Kimmo was around for some of the earlier stages of this idea and this came up a lot. One major part of the design is that, as a hybrid corporation/nation, we’d quickly want to provide far better education (in all aspects, but technology came up a lot), both for ourselves and for others as an early public service/business opportunity.
Our philosophy has been that even if we were horribly raised, we could give the next generation something a lot better to work with than we were given, and give our poor planet a better batch of humans to deal with as a bonus. We also consider education an ongoing thing for ourselves and fully expect them to be teaching us more than we’re able to teach them at some point.
So basically, if it was in a TED talk or a number of other sources then we probably factored it in. In fact we may go a bit further than most in that we want children to gradually be clustered based on factors such as learning style and eventually to choose how they’re educated themselves.
