Education
Education typically helps people get along in various ways. One way is that it helps people meet the necessities of life more easily taking away stresses that can make one irritable and harder to get along with.Â
Another way is it helps us be able to work together to overcome issues that would lead us to compete for resources. We definitely see this in our ability to grow food. Improvements in irrigation was an early first example of overcoming limiting factors of growing food. Later as areas lacked space for farming, vertical farms again helped us increase our ability to provide food. Studies in regenerative agriculture may further help us avoid loosing nutritional value of our food.
Education can help people learn ways to handle differences in opinion and develop thinking skills that allow innovative ideas of how differing views and opinions can learn to live together in harmony.
Education can help people understand why someone's opinion is different from their own making it easier to respect that difference.
Sometimes education can even help people see the reason they should abandon some of the less desirable things they do.
Education can greatly lessen fear leading to less panic which allows cool minds to prevail and work toward amicable solutions.
More people need to learn to take time to consider the possibility that an opinion different than there own may not be as bad as they think it is and may even sometimes be more in line with what they overall would like. It is an important skill to be able to learn to debate any issue from opposing sides and realize at the same time that one doesn't necessarily have to pick one side or the other but might blend the two.
We need to build a good foundation for a better system of education by creating a language unfettered by yesterdays ignorance while still respecting where previous languages have gotten us.
In the age of technology many will tell you it is pointless to run your business on old technology but we continue to run our communications on arguably archaic languages. In all our human advancement we should be able to create a better language than the past. Arguably the constant change of language just makes it harder to communicate, which is why we need to preserve our existing languages but build a newer more universal language to match the change to a global economy. We only recently arrived at the point that such a new language could be spread by the use of the internet allowing many of the hurdles that would have existed in the previous development of a "common tongue". We need to bring the "common tongue" out of fantasy books and into reality.
As we learn and grow we realize how to do things better but sometimes simply reuse old words instead of creating a better way to express things as our understanding increases. In the past people have decided to need to attach gender to everything. I don't believe attaching gender to everything helps do much than allow for people to disagree on gender of various items. Even as pronouns most of the time does it matter whether I'm talking about a male or female? Why should I need to know what gender the person bringing me food is? Their gender isn't going to make it good or bad? Their gender isn't going to affect their ability to serve my food. But knowing there gender becomes oh so important for my ability to reference them with a pronoun. Maybe part of the discussion of a new language would be whether to have pronouns at all? Have we become lazy in not having to reclarify the subject?
One of the major reason's to build a new language is a fresh start so that rules can be followed. Ever heard of the "I before E rule"? I find it utterly useless. A long rule kids memorize to help them spell things wrong but figure they must have gotten it right cause they followed the rule but don't realize that the word they were spelling was one of a whole list of exceptions to the rule. Honestly you just have to memorize I or E first unless you memorize even more by memorizing the etymology of the word so you can try to work out the spelling based on it's roots.
