The ultimate master skill is teaching kids how to look at a problem they have no idea how to solve & teach them not panic, figure out what they know, & find a solution.
In a world with AI, the master skill will be THINKING

Even in the best hands, the Freytag triangle, the monomyth and their derivatives as templates for storytelling can lead to formulaic and cliched results. As time standards, they are an improvement on calculativerational clocks, but are still relatively impoverished with respect to the diversity of narrative times in our world. The sophisticated novel reader or movie-goer gradually loses his ability to identify with, and vicariously experience, the patterns of energy and emotion experienced by the protagonists of formulaic stories. You can tire of riding the same roller coaster repeatedly. The fact that deliberately crafted stories, as opposed to real-world events, contain cues that help us anticipate peaks and troughs, ends up blunting our responses to them. When individuals and cultures age, storytellers must work harder to trigger experiences of the same intensity.
Go to a cemetery. Look for sacred places. People live authentically there.
