"We are not so much predicting the future as we are creating it."
Project-186 knows that every human being holds a vast amount of potential and intrinsic value. We reject systems that limit the pursuit of greater potential.
Project-186 believes that individuals have a duty to become better versions of themselves, and should be held accountable for negligence.
Project-186 understands that to pursue one's potential can only be a personal decision; an individual cannot be forced to change.
Project-186 understands that technology can't be uninvented: rapidly developing technologies like the internet, social media, and AI must be accepted as part of the world.
Project-186 doesn't claim that particular tools are inherently good or bad, but rather that humanity must accept the true capabilities and risks of such tools.
Project-186 knows that modern institutions often exploit the strength of these nonhuman systems, influencing behavior and restricting humanity's pursuits.
There is no single official website, organization, or established creator of the Project.
Anybody can claim participation in the Project, and their credibility is only limited by the quality and resonance of their contributions.
Project-186 is only represented by the collective ideas and actions made in its name. The Project evolves in time through a shared goal instead of strict law.
Project-186 rejects the concept of advertisement as a monetary transaction. Only quality, truth, and charm should guide an idea's lifecycle.
Project-186 will not pay to be advertised; anybody promoting the Project is doing so willingly.
Project-186 will not accept payment to make an endorsement; any endorsements made by the Project are done freely.
Project-186 rejects fear-based ideas regarding an impending end of the world, relating to AI, societal collapse, or any other apocalyptic notions.
Project-186 knows that every problem created by humanity can be solved by humanity.
Collective human well-being generally increases in time. The Project knows that optimism is necessary to align progress properly such that this trend continues.
In order to represent a philosophy that advocates for the natural spread and evolution of ideas, 186.1 refers to the complete set of files in this instance of the Project. 186.1 will not be edited past September 26, 2025. Further developments of the Project may reference 186.1, but will be their own distinct instances, and are only official so far as they resonate with the general cultural impact and the vision of the Project.
The Project knows that the next human era will arise through an inevitable and natural revolution; it will manifest whether or not this particular instance, 186.1, of the Project is created. However, expressing the revolution through physical descriptions like 186.1 is necessary: we are not so much predicting the future as we are creating it.
Somebody has to do it: it's important that individuals are proactive in bringing forth the revolution so that when the singularity arrives, it is properly aligned with human ethics and interests.
It's possible that the Project is too early: perhaps the meme of the Project is not quite good enough, or the modern world is not quite strong enough yet to support a decentralization of potential. But it's very unlikely that the Project is too late: the modern structures that shape the world still rely almost exclusively on human interests and efforts. As long as the revolution is possible, then it is inevitable.
Breakthroughs tend to manifest in parallel. The Project is likely being reinvented and rediscovered in various forms right now.
Given the chaos of human actions and incentives, global affairs, and institutional influence, it's impossible to predict precisely when the Project will fully come to fruition. But don't worry, the Project will succeed: we must keep faith.
