We at Citizen Warrior Foundation believe wholly in conscious free-marketeering (we have a genuine disdain for the perversion of linguistics for ideological purposes such as the use of the word “capitalism” as an acceptable stand-in for reasonably regulated “free-markets”). As a nonprofit private operating foundation, we have the privilege and legal obligation to work for the betterment of our stakeholders, unlike what our commitment would otherwise be in private equity, for example.

As such, we are committed to providing education and services within emergent tech to help lead the way towards a more sustainable future for our planet and future generations. We recognize the need to address the challenges facing our environment, and we will explore ways to reduce industry’s negative externalities on local communities and the environment. At the top of our list is to conserve resources, innovate new solutions, and promote individual and social awareness of the importance of responsible stewardship of our planet. Our sustainability commitments are based on scientific evidence, particularly the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

We have familiarized ourselves with each of the IPCC’s 5 Assessment Reports (ARs) and the most recent findings from 2018. Although such reports only occur every 5-7 years due to limited funding, we will donate our own analysis of the quality of their methodology, the efficacy and accuracy of their means of measurement, and a comprehensive critique of what we see as areas of improvement in the IPCC’s modeling. As we expand our activities across emergent tech, we will incorporate the following capabilities to deliver to nations committed to environmental stewardship:

AI-driven causal analysis through ongoing processing of big data to produce accurate modeling and simulations for mitigating harm that may arise from drastic temperature changes. We believe it is wise to explore how best to contend with astral collisions that shaped, reshaped, and likely reshaped human civilization since we were still of the Erectus persuasion.
Launch of a decentralized enterprise-level carbon credit/offset marketplace.
Development of Smart city with tokenized economies pegged against the development of novel IP in furtherance of innovation and the decrease in the cost of energy. We aim to prudently transition off less desirable methods of energy production and move towards the voluntary opt-in of cleaner, more abundant, and substantially less costly means of energy production and distribution. This requires ongoing innovation, which should be encouraged and financed via private funding.

CWF’s Commitments Towards Responsible Stewardship Include the following:

Conservationism:

To stimulate marine biodiversity, mitigate mammalian extinction events, privatize, preserve and gently explore the unexplored wonders of the Amazon. We would happily participate in a global tokenization project, utilizing Web3ID and digital assets, so that the global population could participate in protecting these resources while receiving royalties via utility NFTs (representing their ownership stake), the mechanism whereby they receive their ROI on a public permissionless blockchain. Such preservation and innovations due to the gentle exploration of the Rain Forest alone would yield untold capital opportunities that would need to be deemed suitable through a representative democratized model of governance. A portion of the proceeds ought to be allocated to the expansion of the protected territory, stimulation of preservation of marine biology and mammalian wildlife, with a strict constitutional limitation on territorial expansion once protected territory impedes on local communities with lawful rights to the territory.

Promoting Social Responsibility:

We are committed to promoting social responsibility through our programs and services and supporting our local communities. We will achieve this by promoting diversity and inclusion, supporting community development initiatives, and providing educational programs on sustainability.

Exploring the Potential of Emergent Technologies:

As discussed above, we are committed to exploring ways to use emergent technologies to promote responsible stewardship of the planet, to mediate the excesses of human-driven errors that may lead to the corruption of systems that govern our quality of life and serve as the foundational substrate of our culture and perception of the world. We will achieve this by investing in research and development, collaborating with other stakeholders, and promoting innovative solutions.

Transparency and Accountability:

We are committed to being transparent about those products and services we design, deploy, and maintain in furtherance of our mission. We will achieve this by reporting regularly on the efficacy of our emergent-tech driven sustainability projects whenever substantial and exhilarating government or private interest group tenders are awarded to us. We intend to bid on such tenders as we continue to grow. Outside of that, we are entitled to our personal privacy and the privacy of our valued stakeholders.

By taking these actions, we commit to assist in moving the needle towards a more sustainable future for humanity, the social cohesion of communities and peace through meaningful commerce both inter/intra-nation state, protect our little critters on land and in sea, and of course, restore, preserve, and make beautiful our shared planet. We recognize that sustainability is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to continuously improving our sustainability practices and performance as we see fit to benefit future generations. We pledge to do so not for the sake of unearned moral grandstanding, but because we believe it is the right thing to do.

In the wake of the 2008 global financial crises and the recent COVID Pandemic and the global response casing and even more atrocious gap is wealth disparity within and between nation states, anyone of competent and sound mind speaking Truthfully ought to admit we live within a legacy supranational framework and that the geopolitics and soft diplomacy of decades past have in large part failed in increasing social cohesion across disparate peoples around in the world. Unfortunately, despite the miracle of human flourishing that came outside the legacy framework simply through free markets spreading where command economies once stood, during these same time Billions of individuals around the world were able to lift themselves out of poverty and their children able to obtain a competitive level of education.

Today we have “Western Civilization,” with geographic territories including North America, Europe, Australia, & New Zealand, having undergone 3 generations of abundance and the United States the standing champion in report innovation and attracting director foreign investment. However, what you may not know is that over the last 50 or so years (some argue as far back as since the 1940s), the institutions that compose the Civilized portion of the West have in large part fallen, that is, vastly departed from their founding intent and many in fact now inverted in their purpose, stifling freedom instead of standing steadfast to preserve it.

The resulting outcome is that the US, the intellectual and human capital magnet of the world, is undergoing a transition that is very harsh and whose suffering will echo worldwide. The individual no longer has the freedoms their parents once enjoyed, either explicitly or implicitly, the people live in fear or exhibit group think and engage in such ugliness as “call out” culture, the barrier to entry regarding entrepreneurship grows more challenging to overcome by the day, law fare and reputational destruction by proxy of Web2 Social media runs rampant, and the people’s understanding of the world is becoming narrower and more polarized due to the consolidation of all the Western Press into roughly 5 consortiums owned predominantly by 2, maybe 3 large asset management firms.

In short, the people are divided and suspicious of one another and can’t afford the luxuries of their childhood nor escape the debt from their education. To be clear… the sensible highly industrious Americans, virtuous and charitable in deeds and compassionate in heart, are looking for an opt out mechanism without giving up on the sanctity of their native homeland. Each are looking in their own way for a viable way forward whereby he or she can pursue true self-actualization and gain earned sovereignty without the undue burdens levied against them in the home they hope perhaps one day their success and can one day bring some relief to.

You have all been given 2 blessings today.

1 – You have been born in the age of the rapid proliferation of emergent technologies. Our main interest at Citizen Warrior Foundations is in the decentralization of certain presently institutionalized, opaque, and highly corrupted systems, whose actions have and continue to lead to the meaningless suffering of the many. To put it another way, to target the most industrious to be made most vulnerable and dependent so that they will lose their earned sovereign and kneel to the dictates of the mob.

2 – You have been born in an age of international struggle and yet have been given a sword unlike that humanity since the discovery of fire and the printing press… you have been given the opportunity to sharper your sword, learn to wield it, learn to march fearlessly into the battle that is daily life. You ought to hone these skills with locked arms along with those who share your first principles, those principles extracted from intuition, those that lay deep in your heart. You will have to learn to articulate them, and once articulated, you will come to know might and so be given a great power that you must treat with the greatest of care and maintain it sharp and keep it in its sheath. Furthermore, remain vigilant to protect the most vulnerable while fulfilling you’re the individual purpose that of the collective with which you decide to gain membership of the collective and your individual purpose insofar the two may differ (and they ought, but not be antithetical to the other).

As Ambassadors of CWF, you will learn, embody, then teach these principles to those seeking purpose. One such example, and this will be the only explained, is the plurality of intent and to act meaningfully is in the fulfillment of the 5 concentric circles…. The self, the family, the community, the nation, and the world over successive generations. If such criteria are met, and the purpose, the aim, the target is True, Good, and Beautiful once the systems are in place and desired outcomes demonstrated… you have been reborn a Citizen Warrior who have done what others would not and so to become what others cannot.

You will be strong. You will be a force of nature. You will be kind, humble, and you will be charitable.

You will be the messenger to bring peace through strength, and strength tempered by compassion.

Most importantly, you will become a beacon of light in your community, your nation, and the collective brightness will shine a light unto the darkest areas of the world and through your steadfast and unwavering attention to your good deeds your mere existence will have those who lurk in the dark crawl back under the rocks to which they belong.

Thus, it is in this focus, to mitigate meaningless suffering through our exempt purposes, that we have established the Ambassadorship Program. CWF’s Global Ambassadorship Program seeks to assigning a representative for each OFAC-permitted nation state to answer to a regional representative, who in turn reports to CWF Management who act on behalf of the board to the betterment of all CWF stakeholders.

Corruently, Norther America is plentiful in its access to resources yet is restricted n its ability to innovate given increased regulation, high taxation, and labor law (differing sometimes dramatically by state). In the Middle East, for example, there is a hunger for cooperation with US firms as both they have access know to those who best understand the game of capital deployment and the accrual of wealth via the purchase or building of equity.

North Americans, conversely, are looking to overcome these various and at times prohibitive barriers to entry looking for intellectual capital and those with a more scarcity mindset, who understand hardship and are willing to work as if their life depending on it as, in some cases, it most certainly does. It is in this exchange where those living throughout areas less developed can collaborate with more developed areas in affair and just way that yields maximal prosperity to each party.

Today, there is an open-minded brought on both by the passage of time and by necessity to find solutions abroad while solutions at home appear to slip away at an increasingly alarming rate. Thus… we are at a unique moment in history where we may as well as that we need each other equally to remain a free people, a good people, and flourish despite the circumstances of our localized environments.

Things are changing rapidly, no alliances are forming, and new adversaries are publicly stating their intentions and are so effective in their actions that jump starting this cross-cultural program is both wise and necessary if we in the most prosperous nation in the world and those in nations who aspire to greatness have the ability and structure to come together, work together, cast aside petty differences, and embrace unifying first principals and their good deeds echo though their local communities thus making the so called “global souths and the nation states therein more formidable and less likely to be predated upon by the malicious acts of the few who effectively own the system and have the ability to end it to their will.

Through digital marketing and growth hacking so and develop dopaminergic gamified educational materials to attract all walks of life to these miracles of innovation and instruments of freedom, engage in the most effective on/offline community organization (organized around cherished first principals), and to do so fueled and guided by the intellectual, spiritual, and financial capital of disparate nations around the world.

As such, such institutions will preserve the good deeds of the communities who have built them and their good deeds echoes across their position in time and space no matter their station in life and persevere across successive generations and perhaps 10s of generations following sound balanced succession, so to ensure all our children and the future generations of our species live in an increasingly free and tolerant world, without sacrificing perhaps the 4^th most important human virtue, one of the most importance virtues, the ability of exercise discernment and readily differentiate that which is bad from good, ugly from beautiful, false from true.

Good luck, young ones. The journey ahead will be enormously challenging. You will suffer meaningfully, being pushed to your limits, and from that suffering learn how to lean into it with a smile and gratitude and make that which others fear most your guide towards self-mastery… shedding your deadwood and leaving behind the fear of the unknown and anxiety of tragedy and seemingly insurmountable difficult in its wake.

You will struggle so that you will grow stronger. You may also ring the bell and leave anytime you wish. We offer you the chance of a lifetime to become that what you are able imbued with meaningful purpose and the wisdom of antiquity. Our gift to you is to be given the opportunity to one day lead your life by choice and not be subject to the ever-shifting whims of chance. We give you the opportunity to prove yourselves worthy of leadership and to pursue meaningful purpose in a way other institutions simply are unable or unwilling. You will come out of this program forged by the fires of your voluntary embrace of meaningful struggle and become the leader the people need.

It is only then you will be afforded the honor of becoming an Ambassador of Citizen Warrior Foundation. If this is your wish, you will select the top 3 volunteer roles you believe you will excel in the greatest and advise you would like to enter this track… which will play out in parallel to the efforts of your cohorts while not separating you from them. For they are to be your brothers and sisters in battle and your role(s) is to be your trial, your rite of passage, to see if you are capable of exhibiting greatness. Few are and so we suggest that you choose wisely.

We believe so called “Work-Life” balance is a kind of subversive false dialectic. It is in our philosophical worldview is that there is no personal life and professional life per se. Rather, there is but 1 life, and that life ought to balance the 4 pillars (ref: CW Handbook) and be either one in the pursuit of the virtues, the truth, and the preservation of that which is beautiful Or be a life best described by the ongoing voluntary assumption of meaningless suffering. Our commitment is to foster the former mode of being.

Today, many find themselves ‘time-poor,’ constantly rushing from one perceived obligation to the next, always 1 step behind finding themselves unable to grapple with sudden change or meet reasonable deadlines. This is not due to a shortage of hours but rather the way with which those hours are spent. The OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation & Development) considers a 50hr work week to be ‘very long hours’. To that we ask, “To whom?” Certainly, for a startup entrepreneur who has put his or her life’s savings into something meaningful they wish to develop & deploy, a 50hr work week is the floor threshold any VC would deem acceptable by its executive team relative to time spent in furtherance of the organization’s mission(s).

The # of hours for non-entrepreneurs and staff, those supervised be D&O’s, is determined by state employment law. Thus, our FT volunteers are capped at that max # of hours minus 5. This, however, in no way points to anything meaningful relative to how the achievement of work-life balance ought to be perceived. The volume of hours is contingent on who is working those hours and to what cause those hours are being allocation i.e. is it to provide emergency disaster relief?

The meaningful discussion around ‘work-life balance’ is if time is being properly utilized to master the domain of obligation. Such duty of obligation only occurs (outside of the most empty, purely materialistic pursuits) when time utilization is in the pursuit of a deep & enduring purpose. Thus, we can all lead a good life regardless of volume of hours “worked” once we have discovered a cause with which we find the most purpose.

As such, we commit to work-life balance in the following way:

1. Align Your Obligations with Your Values
   • Write down you values and compare them to your obligations. If these values and obligations materially differ, seek out a more suitable role within your organization. If no such role exists, find another organization whereby what you value and the obligations your assume are in alignment. Once in alignment, you will have discovered what some refer to as a “labor of love” and you will see naturally improvements in your level of focus and begin to assume radical ownership over the domain with which our organization depends on your Self-mastery. The amount of emotional and spiritual upside between the parties in this state is innumerable amounting to a meaningful life and all the intangible blessings that will manifest from this optimal relationship dynamic.

2. Master Time Management & Incorporate Life’s Best Practices
   • There is no need to make mention of time management here other than to say write out what is most important & do what works for you best to ensure your daily battles are contained within reasonable 1-3 3hr dedicated focus blocks. Life’s Best Practices may be best summarized by establishing a governing behavioral system whereby atop is built actions which with consistency become routines, habits, and then part of your ‘spiritual substrate’ (or your ‘character,’ whatever perspective floats your boat most). We encourage 5amC atomic habits (60min) to prime the endocrine system to be most formidable and effective to thrive within those 1-3 3hr focus blocks. Then there is the wind down routine & finally sleep hygiene. We would be happy to illustrate a road map for these best practices, but you get nothing for nothing in life & this neural-behavioral schema taught to our OWN, those willing to volunteer time in furtherance of what together believe to be most meaningful. When you volunteer at CWF & have demonstrated your commitment and fit, we take you through initiation process, one analogous to a rites of passage w.in a tribe, where you will have the opportunity to accept or reject our best estimation of Life’s Best Practices. If you do not, you may still contribute but we will always encourage you to ring the bell and find an organization with which you place more faith. We are, again, akin to mix-sex brotherhood. Don’t like it? Then don’t apply.

3. Set Clearly Defined Reasonable Boundaries
   • Life is never a 1-size fits all endeavor. Back to your scope of duty – If you are an entrepreneur with whom 10s or 1000s of families around the world depend for financial security and great degrees of certainty, the best approach work/life balance will be adjusted for the breadth of duty with which you are entrusted and voluntarily assume. This is what differentiates successful entrepreneurs from those who blame the external world on their failures. Unlike those failure, understand that when you are granted a set of duties (at CWF, strictly based on merit over time), you are being entrusted with something meaningful by those who have come before you who have made untold sacrifices to offer you the means to pursue mastery and self-actualize. The obligations of loyalty ought always to be bilateral. One must never be taken for granted, be it the employer or employee.

4. Enjoy Your Work
   • See #1-3. This is the purpose of life – to find your labor of love with that organization whereby you never default on honoring your word and with which you will do whatever is in your power, under the law, to uphold your duty of loyalty. As a result of having earned your way into this noble relationship dynamic, the cosmos has a tendency to shower those in right alignment with all the blessing our world has to offer.

5. Keeping it Real (Personal Finances)
   • It brings us no pleasure to say that the vast majority of highly capable individuals are effectively financially illiterate. Thus, without getting into detail and handing out freebies, since interacting with others is grounded within iterated mutual value exchange (anyone telling you otherwise ought to be avoided) you will learn what we have learned over our combined 200 years of expertise in finance, technology, and right organizational governance. This wealth of accrued wisdom is available to those of us committed to the pursuit of safeguarding emergent tech from bad actors and utilizing emergent tech to mitigate meaningless suffering. As such, if our approach to organizational membership resonates with you, head over to our volunteer page and find the role that best suits you are of greatest interest (if you are self-driven or expertise.

6. Nurture Meaningful Relationships, Benefit Community & Improve Culture
   • Yup… we’re going to stay tight-lipped here. It is the current year, after all (if you are in the know, you know).

7. Focus on Your Physical, Psychological, Emotional, & Spiritual Health
   • Speaking engagements can be arranged by contacting us at [email protected].

8. Learn “Active Rest” and How to Maximize its Utility
   • We hear the term “down time” and are joyful that the bad guys out there believe in such notions. There is no down time… there is only active rest, a modality of being that still carries purpose. Leave downtime to the nihilists while you can pursue active rest once it’s earned. As such, we will happily provide education on what constitutes active rest and its importance upon request to non-volunteers via our newsletter, which you can sign up for, here: http://newsletter.citizenwarrior.foundation/home.
   • For reading through to the end of this commitment, we feel compelled to throw a freebie out there for you having taking interest in our rather unique commitment towards fostering an environment committed to meaningful work-life balance. That freebie is the following:
     • God, or the great programmer in the sky, with whom set in motion the simulation with which we live (whatever worldview best jives with you), worked for 6 days & took the 7^th day off to rest although such rest would clearly not be required given God (or great programmer) is omnipotent I.e., no need for rest. This story of antiquity or historical account of what was ought indicate some base wisdom to you. We suggest putting your phone away on Friday, Dawn to Dusk (Muslims), Friday to Saturday Dusk to Dusk (Jews), or Sunday Down to Dusk(Christians). If you don’t fall into the aforementioned faith-based communities, choose the 24hr period that best suits your community and take that time to actively nourish the other 3 pillars of life outside that of your commercial pursuits (ref: CW Handbook).
