I believe that we should start mathematics education with programming, then go to generator systems for numbers and operators over them, then how to form lattices and operators on patterns in the lattice, and do approximately continuous math and physics only at the very end.

ps. agree with your point, every culture has developed tool to liberating the mind (my tweet tried to highlight 2: ancient arab with Algoritmi & contemporary US with Allan Kay). I assume we have a unique opportunity right now, to formulate a truly global kanon - a first.
