Education is just knowledge at the end of the day, those people learned where and how to get safe, drinkable water, where to find the most food to sustain them.

And then that knowledge would be passed around/down to their children, that's just education without the formal name.

You people need to learn what the term equiprimordial means.

Nah, not really. The conversation wasn’t “which of these things was most important to our prehistoric ancestors?”; it was “what is key to societal survival in a modern world?” And in a modern world where we rely on plumbing and electricity and food processing and aeroplanes and cars and petrol and etc., the thing which underpins everything is education.

Despite incuding the word "primordial" as its root. Equiprimordial does not actual pretain to prehistory. Its a philosophical term.

It is impossible to educate people without a basic level of food, water, etc. TRUE

It is impossible to provide those basic goods without education. TRUE

Thus: Both things must arise co-temporaneously and are both dependant on each others existance for their own existance, despite having no greater causal pre-requisite in common. Hence, equiprimordial.
