This thought experiment explores a radical change scenario for a preferred future that builds a more-than-human and collective education system. The focus is on planetary sustainability for future survival; both state and non-state actors are regulated to co-create and co-exist with new and emerging technologies. Education is redefined for all students to become with the postmodern world.

Change is the only constant in the era of postnormalcy. COVID-19 is redefining and reimagining pedagogies: the traditional mode of teaching is not expected to return; educational institutions are blending with a digital-first world to sustain hybrid-first experiences.

I know, I've tried it; to hell with it." – Captain Beatty, Fahrenheit 451

"You know what I'm saying? Happy (sha la la)! It's so nice to be happy (sha la la)! Everybody should be happy (sha la la)! It's so nice to be happy (sha la la)!" – Alexia, Happy

I struggled for years trying to answer the question "Who am I?"

The profound sense of peace that I got from transcending "me, myself, and I" is already challenging to sustain; now, pundits are claiming that artificial intelligence (AI) may know me better than I know myself.
