During a parents’ party yesterday evening I realized I cannot take part anymore to a lot of discussions. Some regarding [work](/david/stream/2018/03/05/), others about education, even worse with politics, so I started to assemble some thoughts about that and it took the shape of a popular manifesto with its forces and weaknesses:

* transmission and autonomy over education and enrolment
* meditation and spirituality over religion and faith
* activism and humility over politics and arrogance
* reliability and empathy over command and control
* resilience and enthusiasm over individualism and cynicism
* love and care over desires and pulsions

Stated like that, the list probably lacks some context. But still, that is something I want to be able to refer to and to iterate on someday.
