How do we address the Knowledge Vertex?

 We talk about 21st Century Skills and 21st Century Attitude to work. The third part of that triangle is 21st Century Knowledge.

The importance of that hit while reading Priyanka Singh's edition this morning. It explains cryptocurrency in a phenomenal, easy way. But while reading the edition, I realised that the Knowledge vertex of the Attitude - Skills - Knowledge triangle is missing in our lives.

This Digital First generation is being taught by us - an analog first generation. The millennials are making an amazing new dynamic world, but who is teaching that to their peers and juniors?

Many children in the world don't know about GPT-3, yet they cannot be expected to not know as they enter the job market - IT or not. Because 'citizen developers' are now also expected to develop apps.

Not just that, many of us in the older generation HAVE to learn and keep ourselves updated, just to stay relevant.

I really believe that addressing the Knowledge Vertex will not just create more aware citizens, but also more conscious ones. Its not about content on the internet like leaves in a grocery market. Its about creating channels where the right information reaches the right recipient in a format that works for them.

How do we solve for that?

The first part of this quote we have all heard. 

The second part is that magical thing that explains how children love abusive fathers rather than caring mothers. I'll be honest. That was what drew me to the power of money. The Tata story with Jaguar came later. 

Of course, money, like any tool, is only as good as the tools person using it. The father who pays both his kids 50 k a month as pocket money knows how to use the tool to his advantage. The moral aspect of it is not in question here. There is a tool. The father has it. And he uses it. 

Likewise, an acquiring company flush with funds finds that the team is more than wanting to embrace the culture of the new company with gusto that is enviable. Another company might find
