Our Values & Mission

Our mission is “empowering people and organizations to make positive changes in themselves and the world“. This can be broken down as follows:

1. Sociological:
To foster models of business, government, and economy that result in the broadest distribution of benefits. Towards that end, the WeFuture.Us Association promotes full decentralization, collaboration/co-creation, open source, open innovation, open data, open access, open government, automation, universal basic income, and nonhierarchical organizational structures.

2. Cultural:
To negotiate reconciliation or mutual understanding between demographic groups with differing “ascribed” or “achieved” social statuses, or at different points along ideological spectrums; to mitigate the harms of extreme values and/or beliefs; to promote conciliatory moderate positions in diverse areas of social life.

3. Technological:
To direct the use of emerging technologies towards prosocial ends, actualizing their potential to transform the human condition for the better. To utilize emerging technologies to deconstruct, rather than reinforce, systems of social and economic inequality. To mitigate harm or potential harm caused by poor design/implementation of technology, or by the malicious, greedy, myopic, or misguided use of technology.

4. Integral:
To cultivate holistic worldviews, integral thinking, spirituality, and transpersonal consciousness.
