I don't think this is a bad aim,
despite being what I'd consider a pretty abstract concept. But it seems a little vague and (by definition) unachievable a goal for a workable society. Maybe a set of more concrete ideas for people to strive for would be helpful. Although most people try to increase their personal understanding of the Universe almost automatically to some extent, it's difficult to relate to as something that we can meaningfully aim for.
