I started actually reading the whole thing and am about halfway through it now. This looks really good. It's not just a rant about education, he seems to have come up with a whole guidebook to the 21st century style thing here, detailing possible coming trends in science, technology, decisionmaking and leadership in addition to education. And the breadth of stuff is huge, he goes from modeling chaotic systems to modern materials science to quantum computing and advances in AI to the progress in genetic sequencing to heuristic and biases research and a long list of improvements to try to make leadership structures more efficient.
