Creating an Integral Environment

I would like to talk to you about the concept of “boundary.” When modern children get together, something very strange happens to them: It’s as if they turn into uncontrollable animals.

What about Thieves and Other Criminals?

Like many uncorrected people, I still have many questions, worries, and fears: What will happen to criminals, thieves, and other people who might use this delicate reality, built on an ultra-sensitive balance? What if they come and steal everything, and take over the whole system?..

Adults Are the Same Ill-Bred Children

The picture of the future school where children interact this way is very attractive for many people who are familiar with it. Can the same examples be used for adults?..
