#HumanSpirit

Manifesto

TL;DR

Social media made us isolated.
AI tempts us into passivity.
Passivity leads to cognitive decline.
Cognitive decline leads to social atrophy.
If we don’t act, we risk becoming the robots’ pets.

We refuse passivity.
We choose Outside. Together. Creativity.
We choose the #HumanSpirit.

The Problem

Social media promised connection and delivered isolation. It trained us to consume rather than create, to measure ourselves by followers rather than by belonging.

Now AI accelerates the risk. Not because it is intelligent, but because it tempts us into passivity — outsourcing effort, friction, and growth to machines.

The true danger is a generation that loses capability: how to act, how to create, and how to connect.

Passivity leads to cognitive decline. Cognitive decline leads to social atrophy.

What we believe

Belonging requires group activity.

Scrolling is not participation; Community is not built alone.

Passivity is decline.

When we outtask thinking, we weaken our minds and our bonds.

Outside matters.

The physical world ignites our senses, and our senses make us feel alive.

Interdependence is essential

Real connection requires give and take, not one-way consumption.

Creativity is survival.

Humans feel valued for what they create.

Friction is growth

Challenges, awkwardness, and resistance are the conditions of progress.

What we pledge

+ We will design against passivity — no infinite feeds, no follower counts, no empty engagement loops.

+ We will design for interdependence — tools that require co-creation, collaboration, and shared responsibility.

+ We will make “outside” first-class — technology should point back to our senses and surroundings.

+ We will measure success by what users make together, not by how long they stay online.

+ We will ensure data remains user-owned and never sold.

+ We will privilege growth over convenience when convenience erodes agency.

+ We will train AI to serve as a tool — a concierge, not a companion.

+ We will train AI ethical virtues — humility, care, and unity — so technology strengthens communities rather than replacing them.

Our Commitments in Practice

We build technology that transforms everyday life into a canvas for shared, playful creativity.

Always: Outside. Together. Playful.

Social atrophy is not a future threat — it’s a present reality. If ignored, it will turn us into the robots’ pets.

#NoAIFriends

AI to support, not replace, human connection.
