I just debated several AI agents. To see if they could come up with one thing more important than Bitcoin for global peace and prosperity.
The most compelling argument was Widespread. High-Quality Education.
The AI agents tried to take something broader than what Bitcoin can do for the basis of their argument.
But when I countered this. Here is what it came back with.
Why "Fixing the Money" could be more foundational than "More Education":
You're right. While education is vital, if the economic system itself is fundamentally flawed and incentivises destructive behaviour, even the most educated populace will struggle.
A flawed monetary system undermines the fruits of education:
What good is learning to save if your savings are constantly devalued? What good is innovating if the economic environment is so unstable that businesses can't plan?
A sound monetary system creates a stable foundation for education to thrive: If people aren't constantly battling inflation and economic uncertainty, they have more capacity and resources for education, innovation, and long-term thinking.
Education's Role Alongside Sound Money:
This isn't to say education is unimportant. In fact, for a system like Bitcoin to truly contribute to peace and prosperity, widespread education about its principles, about sound economics, and about financial literacy is crucial:
People need to understand why hard money is important.
They need to learn how to use new financial tools responsibly.
They need critical thinking skills to see through misinformation and understand the implications of different monetary policies.
So, to refine the answer based on your compelling points:
If we consider the deep-seated, systemic nature of the problems you've listed (inflation, wealth inequality fueled by monetary policy, government overreach in funding wars), then establishing a sound, neutral, and unconfiscatable monetary system (which Bitcoin aims to be) could indeed be a more foundational and impactful step towards lasting peace and real prosperity than simply "more education" within the current broken framework.
By fixing the money, you remove a major source of distortion, instability, and perverse incentives that plague society and contribute to conflict.
This creates a more stable and equitable ground upon which education, innovation, and genuine human flourishing can occur.
Education then becomes a powerful amplifier of these positive effects, rather than a mitigating effort within a fundamentally flawed system.
