I mean I like your ideas but that doesn’t really address the “how” of educating. As in how are those materials presented to people?
How do we ensure that children are actually being educated and not just glazing their eyes over as the info flows past? How do we ensure that that education is not just “God did it, now shit up.” How do we get people to be interested in learning and not just stop the second someone isn’t pointing a gun at their head?
For a lot of people, education is “we will hold a gun to your head until you pass the exam”. For a lot of people, education is seminary school, and in many circles the priests are the best educated folks around.
If I don’t send my kids to school, a nice lady with a uniform and a gun comes around, and this is ‘civilization’?
It sounds like you’re worried education will, ‘become Bible school at the point of a gun’, but where I am it already is, and these aren’t the new models I’m talking about.
I’m talking about free access and communication as the pillars of education.

I guess we’ll have to learn how to do that.
