Tools to build walls

Tools to put up lights near walls

Tools to break down walls

We couldn't otherwise build, light and tear down walls with just our minds. Learning how to handle and accept emotions is possible with our minds and the help of each other, but in societies where the full range of emotions are mostly suppressed in public life, and many causes for negative emotions normalized, people often rely drugs and other "workarounds".

We could use our hands!

Personally I've had intimate knowledge of people approaching PTSD using these methods. PTSD is ... not fair. And the experience was utterly transformative, and is probably the strongest moral call to action I have encountered. It was based on science and I will unendingly call for more of the science. Rigorous, self-critical science.
