The future generations

A thought occurred to me as I was watching another documentary.

In the last few years I have gathered and filtered through enormous amounts of information. As we (humans) grow in numbers all the information available grows as well. Alot of the information probably is redundant, but still, lot's of it out there.

We as human species have already moved into a stage where evolution of the mind is at work, not everything is passed on using genes. Books, films, music, et cetera are also adding to our differences in being.

So if we think about future generations, in the past we were thinking mostly about providing a good and healthy environment. Most of it aimed at physical and civil goals. In these times it seems more appropriate to point more towards information.

Let's say that I as a human being experience life and gather knowledge. Then, using these two things I compile my view on life. The gathering of knowledge (information that I can comprehend) should in my opinion be a bit easier and more clear.

But we have schools right? This is where we get the basic understanding of the world and (social) environment we live in. While this is true, school happens to you at an age where you are still very much being lived by life. In my experience the information that is taught at schools does not have (for the students) the significance we (the older) people see in it.

There will come a time (for many of us) where we get interested in our existence. At this time it would be nice to have some sort of guide into the information we have available. The thought thus is to create some sort of something that will provide guidance in the big overwhelming pile of stuff we have laying around.
