Ancient China was much more interested in generating public bureaucracts for its gargantuan empire. There’s little reason to teach kids about Horatio Alger when the Emperor demands they record tax receipts in Wuhan, their “dreams” be damned.
And the last thing China needs are more damn soldiers, going to follow some stupid general who wants to depose the Emperor. No, no, no!
So what are we trying to wring out of our educational system would be the first question…
I guess the major danger in focusing solely on these Universal Acids is losing the intellectual depth in other, more traditional, more silo’d fields. For instance, behavioral economics didn’t start creating psychology from scratch, but borrowed different concepts from there. Traditional counter-cyclical macroeconomics is not so useful for investigating why England and Germany surpassed France and Spain, but still remains damn important in its own right.
This might be less important for secondary institutions, since, let’s be honest, High School Graduates aren’t really contributing to the Cambrdige Capital Debate.
I suppose in the modern era, the major problems are obesity, financial management, and career growth, so you would gear education towards solving those issues (including encouraging behavior traits that aid in all of that).

Just my .02, but I think it is probably very difficult to determine whether a woman is attracted to you or your status, if you show your status upfront. Cars and money tend to attract women who are into cars and money.
