Note
What economies and living conditions will be like after the coronavirus pandemic is a matter of uncertainty and foreboding. The pandemic may never go away. It may continue to propagate itself indefinitely. It may mutate several more times. If so, human cultures will not only have to evolve, but will have to evolve several times, in order to cope with changing physical realities. Surely, in any case, we human beings will be wiser to organize ourselves collectively to defend ourselves than we would be simply to wait while fate determines our destiny. In the process of species-self-defense, teachers are key.
This short note will be a sketch, or rather an illustration, of a proposal. As Peter Drucker and many others have said, intriguingly and I think to some extent truly, you cannot predict the future, but you can invent it.
