The human mind isnt made to do let alone remember and cooperate around 17 goals (for the artificial computing mind
this is easy peasy)
ok you can learn an alphabet by heart but that doesnt necessarily mean americans or russians mean
by sustainability what british royal family or pope francis does
to do quant you have to collect
a lot of data (very expensive unless everyone is linking it in),
the first time at least do a lot of coding to get
the analysis anywhere enar humanly correct,
most communities and youth dont have the money or the opportunity
to do quant so thats why we love qualitative
qualitive starts with some hypotheses of what the 2 or 3 or 4 most usable
goals might ne- and then pilots them with real
people who need to team or network around the goals- if results are joiyful
for all then maybe the goals are good endough , if
nit recirsively re-edkit the gaols until the piloit experiemnts are
joyful- now the best place of all to do qualitative goalks
could be schools - see footnote
fortunately factor
analsyis (which like all real statistics can be done boith quantatitively and qualitatively) exists to reduce goals to any
number you prefer
- if there were only 2 sustainability goals
could they be
end poverty
and
improve livelihood prospects of youth wherever home-community is
if you dont like these 2 goals there
could be a gtranslation problem - somthing has to get more actionable when you look in 2 dimensions instead of spinning round
17- or it is possible that those
who have spent 175 years mediating with these 2 goals are wrong - try out some of their
20th centitry stories of loving each others nations and by all means tell us where to link to a better story and what 2 goals
it was edited around
==================================
if you want to go to 3 goals t6hen how about adding in
whats changing most
eg mapping how real places youth-livelihiodd educators cooperate through universal mobile connectivity
- now i agree that needs a lot more wordsmiting - a simple goal 3 is go green, make sure your next generation has as much
natire to resource as yours did
whichever goal you diont take as 3 . take the other as 4
========================================
goak
5 might be make the biggest parteship networks in the world this that value purspoes youth most need market to have - this
alos needs a loit of questioning - for example is exxon or the united nations bigger- and do youth feel either is helping
them fast enough to live clean livelihoods out of the poorest dirtiest or most conflicted bidrers on earth - util the under
30s vgote yes brands like exxon and the UN are not being valued correctly if goal 5 is truly one of the top 5

footnote
schools will only evr be best time place space for sustainabiloity IF
but that will only ever hapen in scoeties
where parents want their youth to be the future incluiding
those most urgent innovations if there is to be aany future
for our species- it does come back to traslation
inj the queens english there's only any point in spending time -let
alone the 300 trillion dolars of most liquid finance-
on sustainabiloity if enough people agtree that
if
we dont do this now our species will end. if you do want youth and sustainability to go joyfully hand in hand
