I think my objection is that there's no there there. I mean, how's this for a manifesto? We believe individuals are capable of acting virtuously without external intervention and judging the consequences of their own actions, and that open discussion of our life plans, decisions or progress can inspire others. That's everything and everyone from the Girl Scouts to Tumblr. It is not a narrowly-defined exemplar of beliefs. This whole thing is an exercise in "you are already awesome - you just need to join The Awesome Society" and I've never been much of a joiner.Are you already a member of a vaguely-defined elitist circlejerk? ANSWER THE POLL
The I.I. is publicly inquisitive about societal changes, and promotes open discussion about what values people really consider fundamental today.
