Modern society's excessive focus on convenience and simplicity has led to a decline in human intelligence. It is essential for families and schools to rethink how we raise our children. Emergence emphasizes the cultivation of five types of intelligence: intellectual, social, emotional, ethical, and physical, meeting this existential reality head-on. With artificial intelligence on the brink of becoming integral to our daily lives, this conversation comes at a culturally critical time.
