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.
