About us
Who we are
The purpose of the Pillars is to assemble and refine, through virtual and real-world feedback, a new way of life that maximizes the joy of life. It proposes to do this by filling the voids left empty by religion and secular society. The process of assembling and refining will be iterative to a degree (i.e., there will be limits).
This endeavor is neither trivial nor a “thought experiment”. It represents an area ripe for exploration and discovery. The existence of these voids, still left unfilled by religion and secular society, negatively impact our sense of purpose and meaning. They directly impact our individual and collective ability to maximize joy. This alone is justification that the Pillars is a worthy endeavor; however, below is the full argument. Decide yourself.
Enough time has passed, and enough deaths have occurred in their cause, yet nothing divine has come to pass and our nations appear ill-equipped to address today’s existential issues.
Even if such meaning cannot be described as absolute.
Science can only address a part of the human condition.
Humanity would benefit from a synthesis of “best practice” religious and cultural rituals with the
scientific method and aspects of secular culture
But we want, need and deserve more
In light of our reality, especially for those of us lucky to live in democratic societies, there is no time like the present to begin this process. We need to recapture the hearts and minds of our
fellow humans. The Pillars is not about any individual or group of individuals. It’s about all of us including the
Earth’s ecosystem, without which we do not exist.
The Seven Pillars
The seven Pillars are listed below. These will be our focus areas along with special
data gathering efforts and other special projects.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make sure all young people and children get all the support they need, when they need it, no matter what it is.
Whether it is a reassuring conversation, financial help, education, professional training, or simply the assurance that they are not alone, we will make sure that everyone gets support that meets them where they’re at as quickly as possible.
Our Vision
We want to build a world where no child or youth feels alone and gets every possible help they need as soon as possible.
- Physical
- Mental
- Social
- Spiritual
- Artistic
- Philosophical
- Scientific
The Pillars relate to the various ways we interact with this world. Seeded within each Pillar are focus areas intended to be the foundation of our shared journey. We will build upon and refine these through the process of assembling and refining.
Our Partners
The Players
In an upcoming Phase, the Pillars will incorporate player capabilities. The goal of each player is to level up.
A player can level up by completing various projects, participating in data gathering
exercises, and completing the rituals.
Other ways to participate will include the following:
- Become a virtual citizen
- Writers / Responders
- Safety and Security
- Coders and Monitors
- Artists and Planners
- Organizational and Logistical Support
