Summary/Abstract: With the approach of constant changes and quality assurance in education, we have reached an optimum that no longer justifies all further investments in such changes, as the results of these investments are (and will be) minimal and insufficient. We have reached a stage where we must shift from evolution to revolution, from constant changes in education to its complete transformation. Here, we must point out that we must reverse the flow of systemic changes from the dehumanization of society as that in Industry 4.0 or, in a slightly softer form, the Japanese vision of Society 5.0. This reverse flow offers us the re-humanization of society's development and it can be called Society 6.0 or, historically, also Society 1.1 (back to the past, to the first industrial revolution). Furthermore, finally, the ultimate question must be asked: What does it mean to be human, and what is humans’ future?
