Rioki’s Corner

Lately in Germany there is a debate about immigration of highly skilled people. The issue arises from the fact that, in contrast to other countries, Germany does not really have a immigration policy biased towards qualified people.

This is all good and fine. A industry nation needs qualified workers to sustain itself. But what I don’t get is the fact that there are so many children with such a bad education.

I believe that a industry nation needs to send at least 3/4 of its children to complete a university degree or else it will perish in the long run.

Immigration of qualified workers will help in the short run but this can not be a long term solution. If we just rely on immigration other nations will become technological leaders, such as India.

I am not patriotic in a general term, I would like to see the whole world in a state of prosperity. I believe it is possible to achieve it by automating all simple manual labor, thus removing low wage jobs and the need of modern slavery. But the consequence is that the biggest part of the population, if not all must do “thinking” jobs.

I can not understand why no real effort is done to educate the masses. There is only one way forward and that is education. We are in a technological state where most simple manual labor is not necessary and only keep most of it around so that low educated people have a job. This status quo can not be held for long and only on the back of people and nations that are exploited. The only reason why most products are cheap is because they are made in china.

All leaders of the world should work for a common goal: high education for the biggest part of humanity. There is much to lose.
