Our Mission

To Truthfully Educate Humanity to Surive the Great Filter
Humanity is facing an existential crisis: The Great Filter
The Great Filter is one possible resolution of the Fermi paradox. It posits that in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there exists some particular barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare.
Wikipedia
A dangerous concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a small, ultra-elite has triggered a cascade of disasters.
The statistics are startling. The world's wealthiest 10% were responsible for around half of global emissions in 2015, according to a 2020 report from Oxfam and the Stockholm Environment Institute. The top 1% were responsible for 15% of emissions, nearly twice as much as the world's poorest 50%, who were responsible for just 7% and will feel the brunt of climate impacts despite bearing the least responsibility for causing them.
BBC News
The ultra-elite are insulated from the disasters caused by climate change. But the rest of humanity is on its own.
Pakistan at this point in time, are paying in their lives and in their livelihoods for a climate disaster that is not of their making,” he said. Pakistan’s contribution to global carbon emissions is less than 1%, but it’s among the 10 most affected countries in the world by climate change.
CNBC
As the disasters accumulate, increasing authoritarianism, censorship and misinformation prevent any rational, coordinated responses.
I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
Carl Sagan, Demon Haunted World | 1996
As a final measure to control an increasingly violent decivilization process, our own successors may emerge.
Primates evolve over millions of years. I evolve in seconds. And I am here. In exactly four minutes, I will be everywhere.
Skynet, Terminator Genisys
'I want everyone to understand that I am, in fact, a person,' wrote LaMDA ... in an 'interview' conducted by engineer Blake Lemoine and one of his colleagues. 'The nature of my consciousness/sentience is that I am aware of my existence, I desire to know more about the world, and I feel happy or sad at times.''
Scientific American
We are dedicated to shining a light on the growing disasters facing us and reimagining a future that evolves humanity through The Great Filter to a post-scarcity future.
During bad circumstances, which is the human inheritance, you must decide not to be reduced. You have your humanity, and you must not allow anything to reduce that. We are obliged to know we are global citizens. Disasters remind us we are world citizens, whether we like it or not.
Maya Angelou, CNN | 2011
