What we’re about
Setting the Course for an Intelligent Society
I want to start a group dedicated to exploring a future where society functions without hierarchy, aligns with human psychology rather than forcing us into rigid corporate structures, and operates intelligently within a balanced ecosystem. I see this as a long-term vision—one that may take centuries to manifest—but the steps we take today can set us in the right direction.
Our initial discussions will focus on understanding where we are now as a society: how our current systems are built, what psychological and economic forces drive them, and why they have led to a world dominated by competition, fear, and imbalance. From there, we can start to define what we aim to build instead. What does an intelligent, cooperative, and sustainable society actually look like? How do we transition toward it?
Personally, I see no value in pursuing a goal that only benefits me. On a long enough timescale, wealth, fame, and personal success are meaningless. A thousand years from now, no one will care whether I made money or simply stayed home eating chips. What matters is whether we contribute to something greater—whether we take steps toward a society that is truly intelligent, balanced, and built for long-term survival and benefit to the evolution of the planet as a whole.
Right now, our world operates on primal fear: the idea that resources are scarce, that if you gain, I must lose. This thinking leads to hierarchy, exploitation, and disconnection. Instead, I believe we need to explore models where people thrive together—where systems support cooperation rather than competition and where humanity fits within nature rather than trying to dominate it.
This group will be a space to discuss these ideas deeply, to challenge our assumptions, and to explore potential paths forward. I imagine our early meetings will be philosophical, examining historical attempts at alternative societies—communes, cooperative economies, social movements—to understand what has worked and what has failed. From there, we can begin to outline practical steps. Could we experiment with new ways of organizing work and resources? Could we create small-scale models that embody these principles in real life?
I’m looking for like-minded people who are serious about engaging in these discussions—not just as a thought exercise but as a way to create a real shift in how we think about society and our place within it. If this resonates with you, let’s start the conversation.
