1. Moderate individualism – The individual is important but community is even moreso…”when the community is thriving, individuals in the community also thrive.” Hyper-individualism makes people feel disconnected and can breed evil consequences.
2. Value community wisdom – Elders should be respected and their words carry weight. Past wisdom is privileged. But younger members should also be listened to. Tradition is valued but change should also happen.
3. Evaluate what the modern world offers carefully – Technology gives great benefits but also takes away from life-affirming real-world interactions. And it saps our spirit via non-stop exposure to bad news and negative imagery.

I especially like #2. Wisdom does come from the elders but its important to listen to the young ones too. And changes are needed, even in traditional societies.
