Is this page some kind of joke?

Many think this page is a joke because what we are trying to do seems impossible. It may seem to you that not enough people think logically to create a group that is large enough to change society in a fundamental way and to pursue the single goal.

If you agree with the single goal, but you don't want to try because it seems too hard or because you think I'm just joking around, I want to assure you it's not the case. My partner and I set this site up so that people around the world who share our view will be able to find each other and be able to become part of creating the society of the future. It will take a long time and require a lot of endurance from those who decide to join us, but it is possible.

Are we some sort of a cult?

As the word is commonly used by laypeople, the impartial group is cult-like in several ways.

(1) A cult in this stereotypical sense strives to be totalistic, meaning that it tries to control every aspect of each member's life. We are cult-like in this sense because being impartial means being so all the time, every second of one's life. Impartial philosophy is concerned with the totality of each person's life.

(2) A cult is characterized by extremism and fanaticism in the views it advocates. Impartials clearly don't compromise or take the middle path, so we are cult-like in this sense as well.

(3) A cult is authoritative and separatist. It claims that its views are the only right ones and that everyone who does not agree is an enemy. This describes impartials as well.

(4) A cult has a great leadership that all the members look up to. This is not the case with us.

So what do we do besides moral support?

As we stated, we intend to build a new society and hope to eventually change the existing one.

What makes us so different from everyone else?

Others begin with the assumption that there is not necessarily a purpose. As a result, they think and act based on arbitrary preference. This results in millions of different opinions on millions of different subjects created by conflicting interests. Impartials have a single goal and follow the most logical path to try to attain it, so there is no true disagreement among impartials.

Are you aware that your ideas are not new by any means?

To dedicate one's life to the creation of a society controlled by reason and with an overall logical purpose is a completely new practice, and the only fundamentally new practice there has ever been, since every other practice is mere microcompetition, adaptation to some existing environment that just happens to be.

How can I let you know that I'm interested in pursuing the single goal?

I've tried my best to make impartial philosophy as clear and concise as possible. Despite this, it is very likely that we misunderstand each other. The ideas that we are trying to express don't have any unique words for them in any existing language. For this reason, every impartial will probably use different words or different approaches to express them. Even the same words often mean different things to impartials.

For example, my partner and I misunderstood each other completely because we used opposite words to describe our philosophy. Initially, we each thought the other might be the opposite of an impartial, but we both wanted to be absolutely certain, so we kept communicating. It took a fairly long time before we realized that we shared the exact same philosophy of impartiality.

If you think it is possible that we might be talking about the same thing, e-mail us, tell us how you think, ask us questions. There is probably no other way to be sure that we're talking about the same thing, unless we each express the same idea using our own way. It might not even involve abstract thought. For example, I can imagine an impartial who describes his philosophy entirely based on mundane actions he takes in everyday life, thereby showing how he thinks.
