Part 4: The Evolutionary Lens
Homo sapiens have existed for 70,000 to 200,000 years, evolving traits suited for survival. However, education systems often fail to address the full scope of human potential. They focus on basic survival skills while neglecting advanced capabilities and senses that could unlock extraordinary abilities. We’ve been “dumbed down” by systems that prioritize conformity over individual growth.
Is it fair that we are officially in a troubling age/era of widespread and different elaborations of different types (sometimes contradictory) of conspiracy theories? Conspiracies against the Jewish populations. Conspiracies against Islam. Conspiracies against political agendas and regimes (US Democrats, EU hidden agenda’s…). Conspiracies against the banking sector, which is somewhat international. This where our governments and policy makers should not tolerate lack of education on subjects that turn into acts of violence or modern forms of censorship when those conspiracies are the basis of a government.
This why I believe in continuous education, time dedicated to research about different subjects you wouldn’t otherwise. Education doesn’t stop after a PhD. ‘Life Phds’ for those who didn’t receive formatted education and basic common tools, also need to find ways to cultivate daily introspection and curiousity.
Bless you all,

"Success" cannot be achieved through a single achievement.
Is success solely dependent on education?
In attaining success, the role of "education," including reading and writing, is crucial.
Is success synonymous with education?
The ultimate goal is learning.
The best discipline is practice.
The most valuable investment is training.
However, we often mindlessly chase degrees and marks, losing ourselves in the rat race and facing challenges within the crowd.
We must strive to extract our children from this crowd.
Degrees and marks do not guarantee reaching any significant milestone.
How can we expect a small child to surpass us and create a better future? Focusing solely on marks limits their imagination.
In building a strong and capable society, the role of the youth who work beyond the conventional norms is paramount.
In today's revolutionary age of information technology, working differently is both feasible and a guarantee of success. 🌟

People need to start thinking about the Science Of Society. Our actual true global SOS.
This is why I comment so often on the quality of our education system in Ontario. We are graduating weaker and weaker people and then relying on their natural intelligence to eventually catch up as they go through life experiences. We teach shallow very basic (almost pre basic) knowledge which is a crucial building block of populism. But in the meantime they harm society through their electoral and behavioral preferences.
Populism is a good measure of the number of people who remain at the know-it-all stage regardless of their natural intelligence. This underlying more impactful tipping point of society is where the volume of people stalling (many permanently) at the beginning stage drives our electoral behavior and that number is at a dangerous 36%.
Can you imagine an entire high school class unable to complete the 2 times table? Or answer any 2 times questions? That is a new reality for many in high school.
This is what is happening in Canada, USA and many European countries now. Trump could win, so could Poilievre, many European populists are winning more often. Provincially in Canada way too many Premiers are populists.
Populism embarrasses the mind or would for anyone not at the first peak.
📚 Educating Minds, Cultivating Hearts: The Foundation of True Humanity 🌟
"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all." - Aristotle.
In the grand tapestry of civilization, education is the loom that weaves the threads of intellect and character together.
But here’s the catch. If society focuses only on teaching facts and skills, it risks creating sharp minds with empty hearts, individuals capable of great innovation but devoid of empathy, morality, or purpose.
🧭 Why is Character Key?
Character is the compass that directs human behavior.
It’s the invisible force that transforms knowledge into wisdom and action into kindness.
Education shapes character, and character, in turn, defines humanity.
Without it, what distinguishes humans from animals?
While animals act on instinct, humans, guided by character, act with conscience, love, and a sense of justice.
📖 Education as a Mirror of Society
The way a society educates its people reflects its values.
Societies that prioritize rote learning, grades, and competition over emotional intelligence, kindness, and ethical reasoning risk raising individuals who see success as self-serving.
In contrast, those that instill compassion, integrity, and community-mindedness nurture not just great thinkers but great souls.
🌱 Character: The Human Difference
Think about it.
An animal can be trained to perform tasks, but only humans can consciously decide to uplift others, to choose honesty over deceit, or to sacrifice personal gain for collective good.
That’s the power of character.
It’s what turns education into enlightenment.
💡 Education isn’t just about making a living; it’s about making a life worth living.
A society that builds both sharp minds and warm hearts creates individuals who are not just intelligent but also humane.
And that’s what separates being human from merely existing as an organism.
✨ Indian education system need to focus on character to ensures that we walk the right path else we will be history soon. 💖

INNOVATIONS IN EDUCATION THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY
Fernando Alcoforado*
This video aims to present the innovations that have occurred in education throughout the history of humanity. Innovation means novelty. The word innovation refers to an idea, method or object that is created and that bears little resemblance to previous standards.. Innovation can also be defined as doing more with fewer resources, by allowing efficiency gains in processes, whether productive, administrative or financial, or in the provision of services. Innovation can occur either through a perfectly planned action or by simple chance. However, empirically it has been found that few innovations arise by chance. Most innovations in education, especially the most successful ones, have resulted from a conscious and intentional search for opportunities to innovate by introducing something new. Innovations in education can be classified into two large groups: a) Radical or Disruptive Innovation, which is characterized by the incessant search for something new that leads to the rupture and breaking of previous paradigms; and b) Incremental Innovation or Innovation through a Process of Continuous Improvement, which is characterized by a constant and gradual search for improvement.

Very happy to share my article "Metacrisis and Education" has been published in EFMD Global blog at https://lnkd.in/g-ndqfYs
The world is at a crossroads today. The industrialised world that we created in the late 1800s with its sets of rules and norms is being challenged by the new paradigms of high population, resource scarcity, economic distortions, digital divide, environmental pollution and cultural isolations.
These challenges confronting human society and the human cognition to these challenges are termed as Metacrisis that predicts that the civilisation is about to transform. The new order will have its own rules, norms and functioning to reflect the realities of the changing time. Education would play a critical role in these changing norms.

If Heaven was True, Not Fictional -
Would man not accept change in all aspect of social existence and endeavor? Privately discovered that ongoing education globally has missing subjects and studies and require update. In the same vein that human social affairs is fictional hence without peace on earth. Voluntarily develop missing subjects and studies for update of education globally without missing studies but not one university worldwide accept to admit or bothered about the state of education less humanity? Not one nation, research organization, NGO, corporate body, etc care about sanity of earth universal existence from human vandalism?
Instead, universities are asking me to apply for admission to study any local subject of choice in the face of missing studies in all subject studies in education? What deal is in updating education globally to bring about absolute worldwide peace, total social stability and functionality eternal on earth to seeking admission to study choice subject? Exactly, what are study program target in schools and what are our teachers teaching and what are our children learning? Publisher fears their money becoming wastes investing on missing subjects/studies by protocols established to destroy? Leader's are quiet, shall the generality of mankind remains quiet?
In India, improved access to education and increased schooling has not translated into effective learning. Data from National Achievement Surveys (NAS) 2021 reveal that students are not acquiring expected skills and knowledge at each grade level. However, there are limited insights on the various factors affecting the learning outcomes of the students.
Swasti Impact Consulting conducted a study to assess different factors affecting the learning outcomes of students in rural India. Read more :
