What would happen if we invested as much in education as we have in AGI?

@Bleak Technology? You mean like those expensive Xboxes the little brats stay up all night long playing and then fall asleep in class?

You mean like those expensive cell phones that EVERY kid has instead of school supplies?

@Reason10 As I said education is the foundation of civilization. Technologies like ventilators exist because societies invest in learning, research, and engineering — not because children own gadgets or stay glued to screens. That is the real distinction between a technology-dependent society that merely consumes products and a technology-creating society that designs, builds, and advances them.
Education determines whether a society produces Xbox users or the engineers who design them.
