We fear that man's (the public's) ability to process information on the most basic levels has beem compromised. We are calling for, and attempting to facilitate an end to depression by promoting the use of discernment, discretion, and discourse in the fight against deception. We wish to solidify a standard of critical thought for the individual that will ultimately create a more stable world. We want to empower the individual by providing him with the tool of understanding. We are not a cult or a religion in any conventional sense. There is no formal membership of any sort. There are no fees. The 'Pursuit of Truth' shall be the all encompassing identity of the organization.
Most of all, we are not asking unquestioning support or blind faith, but rather, the opposite. We want you to be critical of what we tell you. We want you to analyze it. The sharing of information is the primary process of evolution, but it so greatly effects us, that to function properly, it must be monitored with as much vigilance as possible. The technological advances of the modern era (primarily the internet) have accelerated the sharing of information to a rate with which man has not yet learned to cope. We are the overwhelmed generation. The sense of helplessness and hopelessness that pervades western society stems from our inability to properly synthesize the immense amount of stimulus now available to us. Modern man is like a vehicle capable of reaching speeds that compromise its own structural integrity.. a car who's engine power exceeds the effective stability of its chassis, suspension and tires. That vehicle, let loose on a highway without a speed limit, will destroy itself. The mechanism which is the human mind, has not yet developed the skills to cope with the speed of the information age, and is consequently being torn apart.
