Personally, torsion and carriers.

Professionally, communication and prioritisation.

Politically, strong engagement against double standards.

The elephant in the room is a bit broad, but maybe thats the point.

Is the elephant a bad thing? Im not thinking of it like that.

Is it global, national, local, personal?

There could be a lotta elephants in here!

Thomas Szasz and his ideas:

"If we know anything we know that the more controls are imposed on people from without, the less they will control themselves, and vice versa. If you treat adolescents as if they were responsible, they will act responsibly. If you treat them as if they are irresponsible, they will act irresponsibly." (Thomas Szasz)
