It's not easy to achieve serenity after being bombarded with "impact" news or "alerted" dozens of times an hour about 1001 things that are "important", "urgent" or simply "stimulating" for your health, finances, children or work.
Oilwell intends to appease us by offering us meditation capsules, each more sarcastic than the last.
If you can't decide between a "smog breathing exercise" or "mindfulness drowning", you can also learn how to manage your journalistic state and receive advice based on your emotional state, ranging from "pre-traumatic stress" to "panic spiral", "reality avoidance" or "abysmal despair".
You can also create a meditative soundscape mixing storm noises, emergency sirens, screams, machinery, fire and flood.
A little extra advice to help you fall asleep? Instead of counting sheep, replace them with an endangered species.
A critical satire of the fossil fuel industry and, more broadly, of inaction in the face of the climate crisis, Oilwell effectively draws us into a reflection on the contemporary environmental situation and its effects.
We meditate well with Oilwell

A school for learning to be a parent
Parenthood is not learned in a formal context. At least, that used to be true. Now, initiatives are springing up everywhere to help families. Roubaix, for example, is one of the first towns in France to train cohorts of educated parents, thanks to exchanges between people from the community and experts from the voluntary sector.
It seems obvious that artificial intelligences are major allies in certain tasks and that they improve many practices, but they also have problematic and obscure sides that can cause damage on a small and large scale. Among other skills, they have learned how to manipulate human beings.
Should you strive to be the ideal teacher?
Many teachers feel the magnitude of the task at hand. They have to juggle different roles: transmitters of knowledge, defenders of national values, child psychologists, and so on. It's no wonder that some of them break down and leave the profession. What if, in the end, teachers were to accept that they are not "ideal" and do their best to teach what interests them?
