Your article is interesting, but I have to feel the focus on the (beautiful) origami distracts from your message. As I see it, the problem is that STEM has crowded out all other education including the obvious cases of home economics, art, civics, manual arts, etc. While those are valuable topics that have been devalued and crowded out, there is another subject of even far more profound importance that has been completely crowded out of education. As a biologist, I was looking at population decline in developed countries. I realized it was because "families" had been crowded out by science. The more I looked at modern challenges is so so many social problems from the same effect. We are just taught to think one dimensionally in a fairly small, if powerful, domain of knowledge, STEM. It's not just the arts and origami that we are no longer taught, but the most powerful body of knowledge there is has been devalued to the point that we aren't even any good at critical thinking. That is philosophy. It is not an obscure subject for advanced study. It should be, as it used to be, basic education for grammar school level students. It provides critical thinking skills, self awareness, understandings, morality, and family values that science cannot. Our civilization is built upon a foundation of philosophy. It is unlikely to endure without it.
