I would create a culture where genuine expertise is valued and embraced rather than treated with scorn and suspicion.

The era of “gut” feelings versus actual knowledge would officially end.

Every resource would be dedicated to improving education.

Compensation for teachers at all levels would become equal or higher to salaries found in financial or engineering vocations to attract the kind of talented people who might otherwise look to more lucrative jobs.

Ignorance and prejudice would be eliminated through culture and education and never again allowed to be framed under the auspices of faux wisdom or insight. This would especially apply to the issues of climate change and race relations among people.

I would attempt to create a world where everyone is encouraged to appreciate the unique reality of our existence fully, just as it is.
