Mastery, Autonomy, Purpose & Utopia

General

Mandating “Good Things” = very hard and lots of fights
Listing “Unacceptable Things” = really easy, lots of consensus
Listing “Desirable Things” = easy, lots of consensus if not mandatory

Things that make all humans happy: Mastery, Autonomy, Purpose.

Allow people to work towards desirable things (purpose) without mandating them (autonomy) whilst getting better at doing stuff (mastery) and life will be spangled unicorns.
