The issue of education induced knowledge noise
Being an easy learner does not mean you are a skilled worker. This reality causes diploma skewness.
Historical understandable,
because learning from books started with religions. Reciting and
story telling (writing) is a skill. But not a permanent one. Why do
we have permanent diplomas for reciting stories, then? It's just parasitic noise. A reason building to justify why others should work for the story elites. Maybe justified in the times of handwritten books. But we are in the digital age now.
By now, we know that a
surgeon needs to maintain its skill in a specific type of operation
to be a good surgeon. We know that you can not put any pilot safely
on any plane. And that pilots, nurses, plumbers, and so on need to maintain
their skills. But what about managers? Language teachers? Historians? What if you are a specialist in the stories and systems we create ourselves, and change all the time?
We have learned to demand
certification for really important skills, but we leave management
and politics to anybody with any degree and the right friends. With
all the bad consequences. We live in the permanent illusion that we
are led by capable leaders. While in fact we are led by fairytales of one or the other kind of believe.
We (humanity) are desperate in need of a new diploma system
We (Free World People) therefore work on a new
diploma and title system that aims to anchor human trust. Because, we (Humanity) need a fair diploma system. Fair for people who migrate or have to migrate because of bad autocratic regimes, for example. And fair to the nonqualified who need to believe in diplomas to rely on quality of leaders.
Therefor, in digital enlightenment art space, we are creating a new skill certificate system.
