As a parent of two young kids that's easy for me. Adaptability, self reflection, and problem solving. Learning to check their sources and learning where to get the good info they need to do whatever. While also teaching the skills to solve for themselves and question themselves while still believing they can find the best solution. You give them this foundation they can sort it out.

Sensible answer. Trouble is, given the massive paradigm shift that is currently unfolding, and several subsequent others that may happen in their lifetimes that we cannot foresee, it sounds a bit like aiming to pass down solid horse training and husbandry skills sometime in the 1890s.

I see your point but don’t fully agree. They are also living now, and if they’re well prepred for the now they will have more tools in their belt for dealing with the changes to come in the future. We just shouldn’t present what we try to teach as some dogmatic truth, but as tools to be adapted or discarted as needed in the times to come.
