Fundamental Principles

The five pillars that uphold our philosophy and guide our actions. Each one is a stance before it is an argument — read them as a single position, not five separate ones.

The Five Pillars

Foundational commitments on the person, knowledge, power, truth and speech.

5 principles
Pillar One

Universal Particularism

Universal particularism stands for the aim of assuring the vitality of each individual unit of a given set. Universal concepts can and will survive only through the acknowledgement of its foundational parts.1, 2

Pillar Two

Intellectualism over Expertise

Intellectualism over expertise grants value to the Renaissance man as opposed to the glorification of the modern Fachidiot.

Pillar Three

Promethean Nuclear Power

Promethean nuclear Power believes in the coming of a Promethean nuclear destiny, where energy is not derived from limited sources but through the paradoxical extraction of power that emerges due to the splitting of the atom.4

Pillar Four

Truth through Paradox

Truth through paradox is a fundamental principle under which a humble investigator collapses existing paradigms to reach what can be grasped of the reality at hand.3

Pillar Five

Elite Symbolic Communication

Elite symbolic communication represents the desirable mode of action, mere words transfer information, but symbolism transfers the reality of the underlying esoteric meaning.
