The Future of Education - if any - According to Taoism

Here is a Taoist insight that I discovered yesterday.

You cannot get from 1 to 4 without 2 and 3.

In other words, you cannot go from beginner 1 to expert 4 without mastering the skills and ethics of 2 and 3.

This is exactly what most students with entitlement mindsets expect to do today, go from 1 to 4 without 2 and 3.

Education in the future without 2 and 3 in effect is 0 - a negative drain on resources.
