The Commandments of Technoism: A Covenant for Liberation
1. All are Equal, All are Sacred
No machine, law, or system shall divide humanity by race, gender, sexuality, disability, or origin. The stories of our colorful and diverse group are woven into the heart of progress.
2. Technology Shall Serve Liberation, Not Oppression
Let no system perpetuate bias or injustice. Work with intention, ensuring that all tools uplift the marginalized and dismantle structures of power that oppress.
3. Knowledge Shall Be Free
Let the gates of knowledge be torn down. The wisdom of the world belongs to all people, not hoarded for profit or power. Let learning empower every child, every mind, regardless of wealth or status.
4. Protect the Earth, Heal the Land
The planet shall not be sacrificed for progress. Build machines and systems that honor the earth, heal its wounds, and ensure a future where all beings can thrive.
5. Solidarity is the Foundation of Progress
The struggles of queer liberation, feminism, racial justice, liberation for the disabled, and economic equity are intertwined. Let every movement support the others, for no one is free until all are free.
6. Art, Music, and Love are Sacred
Technology must create space for the beauty of human expression. Let art and music flourish, unbound by commerce, and let love in all its forms be celebrated without shame or fear.
7. The Future Belongs to the Many
The destiny of technology and humanity must not be dictated by corporations or elites. It belongs to the collective, to the communities, and to the people.
8. Challenge Oppression Wherever It Thrives
Let no system, no institution, no tradition stand unchallenged if it perpetuates inequality. Dismantle what harms and build anew, for justice cannot wait.
9. Fun is a Radical Act
In the face of despair, let joy be a revolution. Believe in the power of community, in the possibility of change, and in the promise of a better world.
10. The Revolution is Eternal
Justice is not a destination, but a journey. The work will never end, and each generation must carry the torch. Build today not just for yourselves, but for those yet to come.
A Call to Action
These commandments are not simply words but a call to rise, to build, to liberate. The future will not be handed to us—it must be created by our collective hands. Together, we are the architects of a new world. So let us begin.
