>the average life expectancy in first world nations have been increasing since the 1900's
>the complexity of the job industry and general living has been rapidly increasing
>constant integration between all fields have put a number degree specializations into question
>the workforce in first world nations are essentially split into three career phases 16-20, 21-50 and 50-75 where constant learning and training even within the "retirement age" is almost a necessity at this point. People in their 50's are going to college for their second or even first time.
>we still have an education system in place where k-12 is "mandatory" and college/trade school is "optional"
>the internet is slowly providing a greater array of information and lessons on all given subjects at comparable quality than any single school in any nation.
>even within these education systems some of the basics like time management, tax and loan management and social management are ignored, despite the fact these basics can make or break you
>adults spend so much time working or training that schools and babysitting is literally a must for any person under 16. Americans are dropping millions of dollars on this and places like japan have just outright gotten college girls to start taking care of working women's children and are calling it training for future "working moms".

At this point just do away with schools, turn the education system into an all encompassing force. Build universal institutions that house everyone, separate them into ages and allow for cross generational teaching.

Also allow kids, teens and adults to move around to all classes and lessons. If a kid/teen can do calculus/ let them get into that class, if a adult needs to learn/relearn algebra let them moved into that class.

It's not like this isn't already happening right now as we speak with the internet and online/night classes just make it official, call it a day and end the charade.

>Ok so why is /sci/ so conflicted on this ?

Because there's no conclusive "answer" to this, that's why.

The issue of "race" depends a lot on the semantics of categorization. It's really a question of how do "you" define race and thus why it's deemed a social construct often.

It's not because the different characteristics between individuals and/or groups aren't real, but because those different characteristics are affected by population logistics. Which in turn are controlled by regional systems throughout the world.

The entire argument is essentially a statistics question wrapped in a political gift paper. So you have yourself multiple factions arguing at and with each other.
