This is a list of things that could sprout slowly toward the next year. For the bachelor I struggled a lot to choose a specific topic: deciding on something is really difficult when everything is so entangled. To approach next year in a different way maybe could be helpful to keep track of some ideas and try to understand why they trigger me.

BTW at the moment it's just a list of things that come to mind while playing basketball.

### Tool to think with

- "The crisis can be solved only if we learn to invert the present deep structure of tools; if we give people tools that guarantee their right to work with high, independent efficiency, thus simultaneously eliminating the need for either slaves or masters and enhancing each person’s range of freedom. _People need new tool to work with rather than tools that “work" for them._"
