How can we educate wiser children?

Question from the Internet:

“What would happen to society in the near future if money could buy a lot smarter children?”

I am not 100% certain how money could buy smarter children. I think it would be wiser to provide much better and more suitable education to children to make them wiser and thus give them a better chance for the future.

Our present educational system — all over the world — is totally unsuitable for educating modern children in the 21st century. Our ‘education” is basically a “facelift” of the same education we developed during the industrial revolution, only caring about producing “good producers and consumers of goods and services”.

Moreover, even if we ignore for a minute what true education should be about, in a fast-changing world, teachers from the previous generation try to prepare children in this generation for the future. This means that education is 2 generations behind children.

But the biggest problem with the present education is that it does not prepare children to become actual “human beings”; it does not explain to them the purpose of their existence and how they can adapt themselves to Nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated system.

And since we are also integral parts of Nature’s lawful and deterministic system, without knowing our place and purpose in the system, we are completely aimless and desperately helpless — as we can see today all across human society everywhere on the planet.
