Important Questions

Inspired by Richard Hamming on First Class Work, I thought, what are the important questions that I would like to answer in my lifetime? The first one that comes to mind is How do we shift the paradigm of the economic system from proprietary to collaborative. From this stem derivative questions, like, What would the world look like if people had the courage to - truly - collaborate?. And, Can society transition to a higher plain of existence - away from consumerism - and into full self-determination - where there are many more powerful, enlightened people who are more close to our genius, expert generalist nature?. Or, "What would the world look like if more people achieve their true potential, when the duty of making a living is lifted by the appropriate use of technology that allows everyone to prosper? Or, are we for ever doomed to proprietary development, a wartime economy, destruction of people and the environment?
