			== The Second Drop. Essence. ==

			Pursue joy.
			Feel the power.
			Use technique.
			Create.

			These four lines are the second drop. Your raised index finger reminds you of their essence. It is, if you will, the core of our manifesto. Now that you have already digested the first drop, this second drop will be even easier for you. You can see at first glance that we only have a simple quartet here, and just like with the first drop, it's a flow. It flows from the first player to the fourth player.

			Pursue joy, for joy is where your strength lies. The critics among you will now object that one can only achieve something by gritting one's teeth, fighting through, and continuing such emphatic gymnastics. Of course, for most, it is not a joy to do the accounting, but every successful company and the founders of these companies have not created what they have created by forcing themselves to do the unpleasant. Unfortunately, this is the insidious thing about our strengths: we find them so hard to recognize because our strengths come easily to us. Our weaknesses, on the other hand, constantly attract our attention. In short: Pursue joy! What could be more beautiful? Let joy guide you. Choose what comes easily to you. By doing this, you follow your strength and you are on the right path. When you pursue joy, you move from "must" and "should" to "want."

			Feel the power. As soon as you follow joy, you feel the power. It's another indicator of being on the right path and for the good cause. There can be setbacks, small and large. There may be a difficult phase, shorter or longer. But you feel this power, which functions like a way marker for you and calls out to you: Bravo! Keep going! Straight ahead!

			Use technique, because now you are ready for it. Before we can pay attention to this player, we want to look at what we mean by technique. Technique is derived from the Greek Techne: art and craft. For us, technique is the unity of wetware, hardware, and software. Techniques as systems. This is how we understand technique. Technique includes language, processes, and descriptions. Perhaps autogenic training is a technique for you that helps against back pain, or perhaps it's a special software that helps you collect ideas. Technique as a personal process of adding and omitting. If you're annoyed by the neighbor's mumbling in the reading room, use earplugs. Technique always offers us new possibilities that you can use.

			Now everything is prepared to call the king of players, the greatest magician of all time, to the stage. So please, let's have a loud rumbling of thunder, bright lightning, and great applause:

			Create!

			Create is the core and Create is the pinnacle. All our values - joy, understanding, technology - support this one value. Create. We mean creating with hands, with words, or with the mind. Creating as the center. Creating as the goal and great value. What is characteristic in a Swabian and what he describes as "work, work, building a little house" seems to us today outdated and above all petit bourgeois. But the common saying touches on an essential core, and we should not be mistaken here. Whether you want to build a house or program software, whether you want to paint something new or whether it is a realization you want to achieve. Create is a space. Reality is your space. You can fill this space at any moment. You are the creator and you are this magician.

			== The First Drop. Essence. ==

			[[Nothing is true]].
			[[Everything learns]].
			[[Question]]. [[Check]].
			[[Understand]]. [[Improve]].

			The first drop contains these four lines. So this is the beginning. It's the thumbs up. These four lines are still somewhat intangible to you. Perhaps you feel these lines as a slight resistance in your stomach. Or maybe you hear a voice that snippily retorts: "Nothing is true? Even this sentence?" It is particularly helpful to first read these four lines out loud. Go ahead! No one is listening except you. In ancient times, it was even the custom to always read texts out loud.

			Let's now take the first feeling that has become noticeable. How can nothing be true? There are such things as truths. So, the sun rose this morning and it will set again this evening. This is one description among many possible descriptions. Another possible description is that the Earth will continue to rotate, thus pushing the sun out of sight this evening. But now it's 11 o'clock. That's true. No, that is also a description. Another description is that it's only 9 o'clock in Timbuktu. What time is it on the sun right now? So, let's just note at this point that what we experience can be described with language. Let's also note that there isn't just one description, but a multitude of descriptions.

			Now you might argue that this may be the case with subjective experience, but there are natural laws, and they are carved in stone. Natural laws are models, so again, descriptions, not truths. Gravity is a description of a cup shattering as it hits the hard floor. But gravity is a model. We know today that all our models are wrong. So the only question is how wrong the models are and when we will find a better one. 1 + 1 = 2. That is true in the language of mathematics. Within the exact sciences like mathematics, the word truth has a special meaning. But even Kurt Gödel has shown in his incompleteness theorem that with great complexity, systems become contradictory.

			Nothing is true. That's tough to swallow. Yes. And this sentence does not sound uplifting at first glance. But this sentence does not stand alone. This sentence belongs to the next one, just as the day belongs to the night.

			Everything learns.

			The Germans have a very nice word. They call what surrounds us reality. This word, reality, emphasizes an essence. This word emphasizes the effect. In our model, reality as a unity is a constant effect and a constant learning. In our model, there are no truths, because everything is a process. In this reality, direct experiences occur, such as the letter B you are now seeing, or indirect experiences occur, such as the thought "That's tough to swallow." Thoughts, i.e., indirect experiences, can be images, short film sequences. Thoughts can also take the form of an inner voice. As soon as a thought enters our experience, it is usually followed by a more or less strong feeling. Possibly we believe these thoughts when a strong feeling reinforces us. Our model and our view may now seem like hair-splitting to you, and the question arises for you, what does this bring. Quite simply. It brings a freer view. While previously our windshield was often full of thoughts that stubbornly hold on, now thoughts can quickly fly away. The view becomes clear, and we can step on the gas pedal.

			Well, then we are now allowed to take the next step and pay more attention to the contents of thoughts. As we have already determined, thoughts can appear as images, but also as spoken sentences. Key word: Inner monologue.

			"If no one pays attention, we will all die from climate change!"

			Here comes our magical quartet from the first drop into play. Stage free for…

			Question. Check. Understand. Improve.

			This quartet now begins its play with Question. In our example, the following questions would offer themselves:

			Who exactly should pay attention?
			What should they pay attention to?
			What should they do?
			When will we die?
			How do we know that?
			Won't we all die anyway?
			Is the sentence relevant to me right now?

			Question is our first soloist. Often, a burst of "why" questions can illuminate the models behind the models and lead to greater clarity. Question. What do you want to achieve? How can you achieve it?

			After our first soloist has played, now Check may begin with its virtuoso play. The answers we have received can now be checked:

			Are the answers applicable to us?
			Are the answers coherent?
			Are the answers complete?
			Do further questions arise from the answers?

			Time to invite our third player on stage: Understand.

			Against the backdrop of the questions and their answers, something can become clear. Here the English are to be praised, who use the beautiful word understand for this activity. Understanding described as a stepping back. Understanding as taking a new position in which the previously unclear is embedded in an existing model and thus expands the model.

			Now finally our fourth player may step in to complete the piece: Improve. The fruits of our third player can be ideas, impulses, and new perspectives. If something is understood and thus has become clear, then ideas can also emerge on how something can be improved. For example, if a supposed truth has no relevance for you at the moment, it can be filed under the label "Later." Or it may lead to an impulse to see something in a new way or to deal with it in a new way and thereby change it.

			Let's summarize the current score. We have a duo working with a quartet. Together they ensure more clarity and thus much better decisions.

			All this may now seem quite pompous and strenuous at first glance. To do something so elaborate in the future that has so far been so simple.

			As with any change, it is also the case here as it is with riding a bike. It was once laborious to learn to ride a bike and perhaps painful when we crashed on our face. Today we don't even think about it and can even ride with no hands, and some of us even post our new status on social media while doing it if we have to.

New page

== Guide ==

It is now approaching noon. Therefore, we have enough light to dedicate ourselves to the manifesto. We want to dedicate ourselves to what unites us and what guides us. The manifesto is our constitution and thus a whole. However, this manual for the manifesto is divided into five sections. Just as our hand is a whole but has five fingers.

You have already encountered the manifesto for the first time in history. Now imagine a Petri dish on which a few happy bacteria are dancing that you cannot recognize with the naked eye. Then you add a drop of a magical substance to this dish. This is new for our bacteria. They sniff it and then taste it very carefully. New generations of bacteria arise that are already familiar with what was once new. So, it's time to give the bacteria a new drop to increase the concentration.

This image serves as a template for our manual. The manifesto is best experienced step by step, or drop by drop. Even though the manifesto is short and comprises only 20 lines, it takes time for these words to unfold within you gradually.

Each of the five drops has its essence. We first explain the essence to you in each section. This is followed by a part that we call Change and Repetition. In this part, we have thought experiments and questions for you to experience the essence yourself.

One more note: We are not in school here, but in life. You will see that you can only do everything right with the manifesto and also in this manual. The more attention you give to the drops, the more intensively they can work within you.

Now we can get started!
