As the COVID-19 crisis has shown us, formal education has failed to provide a common language for humans to understand and communicate with each other. All the content learned in biology, statistics, and history hasn’t materialized in applied understanding.

NASA’s recruitment creativity test was used in a longitudinal study and results found:
- 98% of children 4-5 years-old score at the highest of the test, something called creative genius.

- By 15 years old, only 12%.
- Only 2% of adults are creative geniuses.
