What is education for?
The purpose of education is happiness, and happiness is the satisfaction of personal desires. He also said that mainstream economists believe that people's desires are infinite and resources are limited. With limited resources, people can satisfy their unlimited desires, so there are only two words to pursue happiness: "plunder". With a good education, individuals can gain more knowledge, learn more methods and gain advantages in the process of "plundering" resources. Education is not to let some people use "plundering" resources, but to cultivate more people's ability to "create" resources, and education should cultivate people's creative spirit.

On the whole, the purpose of education includes three levels: for all mankind, education carries the inheritance and development of human civilization; For the country, the government spends money on education mainly to improve the quality of the whole nation, provide human resources guarantee for national construction and improve national competitiveness; For individuals, education is for a happy life in the future, including material and spiritual happiness. People at different stages of material wealth have different pursuits, and their understanding and purpose of education will be different. An education expert's statement about education is correct for some people, but not necessarily comprehensive for others. It can be said that summer insects are cold. Education is not to train people to plunder resources, but to train people to "develop" more resources with knowledge and skills to meet people's different desires.

People without faith may have endless desires, and people with faith will control their desires themselves; When technology is stagnant, resources are limited. With the development of science and technology, the efficiency of resource utilization will be greatly improved When there is a breakthrough in science and technology, new resources will be discovered or invented. When education makes most people have creative spirit, as long as you believe that the material in the world is eternal and immortal, and can only be transformed from one form to another, and the human brain has unlimited imagination and creativity, the resources and energy on the earth will be unlimited, and the pursuit of a happy life will be continuously satisfied.
