Yup this sounds like another sermon on how to save the world. But it's important. How we get through the next 100 years is the most capitalist socialist economic theoretic idea ever invented.
We need to examine and learn how humans survived thousands of years to now.
Apparently this can be learned by reading history until WWII. Then we wanted to feel as though we had found a way to win.
It sounds harmless when you think about newspaper articles, schools, rewards for talents. But the second World War was devastating for capital. We couldn't go back to witch hunts and slavery. All that lost its power somehow. With the help of education, Angelou, Orwell, Huxley and all the good female teachers at secondary school.
Showed us we needed to learn how to live together. Skin colour, wealth, gender, were not as final in our judgement. Except in USA where people with golden brown skin were clearly very smart. White supremacy was looking pretty ugly when MLK revealed his integrity and intelligence and Nice Intelligent Gracious Empathic Responsible Men were holding down jobs just like white men. How could we justify segregating whites from blacks?
How many eyes watched men hanging from trees and were okay with that? The battle was clearly between power and reason. We were becoming reasonable in ways that indicated brutality of white supremacy.
Supremacy is a lie. We are children of nature, of the universe and our values. If we value power for power's sake we shall die of shame.
