I am a futurist, I want to see what we create tomorrow that eventually leads humans to become a type 1 civilization. The only way to do that is if the educated vastly outnumbers the uneducated. I have no doubt that if most of the world's population had some sort of science degree, we'd be popping up colonies all over the solar system and living long enough to not just travel to but explore the next solar system. We are on the brink of this and I want to help push us over.
So there's my cause, what's yours?
My 6yr old grandson is already asking intelligent questions on the Big Bang Theory, Parallel Universes, and Black Holes. His mother also told me that he was giving her factual information about Gamma Rays. Looks like he's getting STEM science kits for Christmas.
Religious literacy. Not enough people know enough about the different world religions of the world. We all live in one reality and alongside, so ignorance is not an option.
