toward a first-world world

The following was written on the morning of September 13, 2016:

toward a first-world world

A first-world world would be based on math, science, and technology.

All children should learn their multiplication tables from 1 to 10 before they leave elementary school. Geometric form is also important, the basic geometric shapes.

IQ is also important.

Science and technology have to do with outer space, ecology (E. O. Wilson, ½ Earth), and neuroscience.

Literature—fiction, poetry, drama—isn’t very important.

Population must be controlled:  2-child max for a couple, 1-child max for a single woman. Whether an area is overpopulated should be determined anecdotally at the local level

There should be a carbon tax.

There should be a first-world country on every continent.
