What Has Value in a Knowledge Economy?
Introduction
In an economy based on thinking, experience, and acquisition of knowledge, what has value? Western countries, loaded with data, are short on wisdom. The people guiding humanity today are good with information and data, but lack understanding. How do we shift that? We need to prepare people to move from data specialists to a path of understanding and wisdom. Wisdom is different from understanding. It works out of time and space. Wisdom lives in the eternal and the universal. Wisdom is essential if we want to stabilize our ship.
