I think a ground-up educational solution could be groups of kids coming up with a classification scheme for a bunch of objects, then comparing schemes between groups. I’m curious what youngest age could work. I first encountered the problem in designing urban research surveys in college, but I think it might grab even kindergartners.
Given all the data to be systematized, and the apparent danger of everything suddenly going ‘too fast’, I propose that the highest-priority data to start with would be personal. Individuals resolving their own contradictions internally might even be a necessity to switch our evolution off the war-based track that has pushed us so far, so fast.
