All in most of our conscious time, we try to avoid a topic that we know will come at some point, and that is that nothing can be more overwhelming or depressing than talking about day zero! if that day we do not know when it will arrive but we know that sooner or later it will arrive.

Taking this premise into account, one day sitting on the sofa one of those totally unusual questions crossed my mind, and that is that I wanted to know how much was the average lifespan of human beings on earth! and it turns out that the average is between 79 and 84 years respectively, of course there are factors that can significantly reduce or increase said average.

Throughout the learning journey, I realized that there are quite accurate statistics on the average life span in some countries, being an Asian country that tops this list, specifically Japan then Switzerland and Spain follow, with an average of 82.9 and 82.3 years respectively! I must emphasize that it caused me a lot of surprise linked with amazement that countries like Nigeria and Sierra Leone only have an average of less than 54 years of life span! These statistics make me remember how unequal this whole system in which we live has been, being the same culprit for the great differences not only social but also quality of life to such a disproportionate point of average life!

What perhaps keeps me the most disconcerted is the fact of knowing that countries like Sierra Leone have the highest quality rate in terms of Gem dimantes, I bet you did not expect such data, surely like me you wonder then how on earth they are submerged It has so much inequality and even worse social disparity, to the point where 70% of the population is immersed in poverty, totally different from its Asian counterpart Japan, which is the 3 most solid economy worldwide!

then what happened ??

I have always believed that in a popular saying that numbers are round! And there is nothing more evident than the lack of education is a determining factor for such disproportions! And do not confuse me when I say education I do not mean traditional education, but that free education which you find in the palm of your hand thanks to globalization and the internet! If I bet you didn't know that you could be a doctor or a lawyer in less than 3 and a half years if you wanted to, there is a sea of ​​great quality content waiting to be discovered on the web of infinities of high added value topics! Now something we do have to be clear about and that is that thanks to the monopolies formed decades ago it is not enough that you have the knowledge in less than 4 years, you will need a somewhat rectangular paper with beautiful letters and mostly in gothic fonts, called Titles! Now everything is not as bad as you think, if you have one of those, congratulations you should take advantage of it, since in a little more than 10 years they will have little value in modern life, since things are changing and great jobs or ventures that have reached excellent terms, they have not required a title! a great example would be if you choose to be a programmer! since there is a high probability that you will be hired more based on experience than on your degrees, and like this there are many examples. Now do not misinterpret my lines and believe that I am against studying, I firmly believe in learning, but I do not believe in the educational system as such, which has more than 150 years operating under almost the same parameters and procedures!
