1 FUNDING A NEW PARADIGM IN EDUCATION

2 OUR BIG IDEA FOR THE 4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION Led by a raft of exponential technologies, the world is changing at a pace never seen before. The current education system, designed to train human robots for the industrial revolution some 200 years ago is not fit for purpose for the digital exponential 4 th Industrial revolution. More than a billion jobs are at risk over the next twelve years to But a similar amount of jobs, with completely different skill sets, will be created. There is no time to waste. Massive action is required. And it is required NOW. What is required is an education, training, skills revolution the like of which the world has not seen before. Those that are already in the system that created the problem will not have the capability to solve the problem. To demonstrate the size of the scale of opportunity if you typed in google news today you would read that the CC industry as a whole is valued at $400 billion. It easily could go to $4 trillion, and $40 trillion is definitely possible. says Pantera Capital, CEO Dan Moorehead. He believes the massive run up over the last twelve months that ignited price climbs like these 8,338% Stellar, 35,010% Neo, 822% Monero, 1,057% Stratis, 76,033% Nano, 464% Dash, If it s even half right, the rewards could be enormous. And cryptocurrency is just one of the market newcomers that are driving the industries of tomorrow: Cyber security, quantuum computing and many other industries coded onto blockchain. A raft of other industries such as robotics, AI, VR/AR/MR. Technologies in the be kind to the planet industries. Asteroid mining, driverless cars and much more. The value of most of these new industries will be billions or trillions. Even the current education system is valued between $6 7 trillion. A massive amount of wealth will be created or transferred. There will be winners and losers.

3 but this speed and scale of wealth creation comes along with big problems New industries, each of which will spawn *10 *100 growth companies have an urgent need for newly skilled talent to grow. Recruitment of Talent is a critical strategic issue. Fresh talent coming out of the current education system are woefully unprepared for these new jobs. And existing talent from an industry or company that is now redundant must be re-invented and retrained. SOCRATESCOIN and NAUKA Socratescoin and NAUKA are uniquely capable of being the spark for this revolution. Socratescoin is officially designated as the coin of the knowledge industry (science, education and technology) The NAUKA platform of platforms together with experiential learning technology will serve the individual person in a portfolio of 3D skills required by the 4 th Industrial revolution NAUKA will serve entrepreneurial, startup, fast growth companies in fast growing industries. (with a proven model for deselection thereby only accepting the best of the best for partnership or investment) In addition to the trading and asset growth of cryptocurrencies, SOCRATESCOIN is one of the few cryptocurrencies that is both:

15 SOMEONE NEEDS TO SPEARHEAD THE RESPONSIBILITY A true bubble is when something is overvalued and intensely believed. Education may be the only thing people still believe in in the United States. To question education is really dangerous. The absolute taboo. It s like telling the world there s no Santa Claus. If you think about What is education? You re basically downloading data and algorithms into your brain and it s actually amazingly bad in conventional education because it shouldn t be this huge tour. If someone is standing up there lecturing at people and they ve done the same lecture twenty years in a row and they re not very excited about it and, in fact, I think a lot of things people learn probably there s no point in learning them because they never us them in the future. Every time that schools do something with your kids that you don t agree with keep them at home. And do it now. The biggest sinner is the Ontario institute for the studies of education and it should be defunded, as far as I m concerned. They don t do what they are saying they are going to do. There is lots of room for real research into what helps children learn faster, they are known and they are not being implemented in schools because it would be difficult. Only by changing education can our children compete with machines.
