The article presents the social role of education in the modern world. The author investigates biblical Gnosis of «ground» education which opposes global “road”, pragmatic and narrowly traditional education. The author investigates Aristotelian paradigm of free education forming subjects who can not only use thoughts, but also be able to create them. The author investigates the holistic picture of education created by A.S. Pushkin. The poet singled out the Secret Gnosis through which the educational work of eternity is carried out. Its subjects, creators and products are geniuses and talents that create semantic matter for reason, consciousness, will and fantasy. There is Gnosis that oversees public education designed to educate, rear Russian citizens, nurture teachers, state, military and people’s figures. This folk gnosis should be based on comprehensive education since even the highest truth without education can become an instrument of crime. The modern world of Russia and mankind puts an ultimatum: the central and leading figure of social evolution should be the Teacher and not a politician, not a military, not a technocrat, not an administrator.

Society is historically associated with the state, which plays the role of an institution of power and government. The main task of the state is life support, survival, development of society and the sovereignty of the country. The main mechanism that the state uses to implement these functions is natural social networks. They permeate every cell of society, all elements of the country and its territory. However, they can have a control center, or act on the principle of self-organization (network centrism). The web is a universal natural technology with a category status in science. The work describes five basic factors of any social network, in particular the state, as well as what distinguishes the social network from other organizational models of society. Social networks of the state rely on communication, transport and other networks of the country, being a mechanism for the implementation of a single strategy and plan. However, the emergence of other strong network centers of competition for state power inevitably leads to problems — social conflicts and even catastrophes in society due to the destruction of existing social institutions. The paper identifies the main pitfalls using alternative social networks that destroy the foundations of the state and other social institutions, which leads to the loss of sovereignty, and even to the complete collapse of the country.

The author believes that recognition of cognitive functions of social network does not deny the existence of an individual intelligence and does not replace it with a collective one. The article dwells on the definition of intelligence as the ability to be able, which develops throughout the whole life, and it concludes that in the network society development of such capabilities more and more depends on involvement in networking.
