Four Priorities for a Modern World: The Problems

Haiku of the Day:
easily foolish

There exists an infinite continuum of problems for our kind to solve; the solutions invariably lead to new problems, but this is life. For efficacy's sake, I have selected four problems for which modernity has provided simple, profitable answers. When there is money to be made, and the system permits it, an opportunity arises for the entrepreneur and customer to achieve what the politician and voter cannot--rapid, revolutionary change in the way average people live.

The Problems:
1. An Alternative to Fiat Currency? Everyone is impacted by the control of currencies with no intrinsic worth by entities that have their own agenda. Our global economy needs a global currency, one that acts as a real unit of trade, an equally real store of value, and apart from any government or body that would or could manipulate value.

2. Universal Access to Quality Education? There are ever fewer jobs that require no formal training, and most of those that do not would benefit from so doing. Yet the wealthiest nation in recorded history is forced to look overseas for the best applicants, many of whom receive their post-secondary education there. Our world needs a universal educator, capable of taking any person, from anywhere, and producing an educated mind with the skills to provide value as labor or entrepreneur, as the individual chooses.
