Values

• Technology must serve emancipation or be destroyed
• No rulers, no rent-seekers — only contributors
• Trust, autonomy, mastery, purpose, accountability and ownership over micromanagement
• Radical interoperability: Tools must resist monopolies by design
• No gamification of work, no systems of incentivization or punishment
• Anti-extractive production:
  • People first. Ensure the satisfaction, voluntary engagement, confidence, and happiness of everyone involved
  • Long term is just as important as short term
• We believe in getting paid — but never by selling out users. Corporations pay premiums; individuals pay what they can

Principles

• Exit over protest: Build alternatives rather than ask for broken systems to be reformed by those who gamed them
• Sovereignty scales: Just like how organisms sicken and die if their underlying DNA is broken, communities and nations cannot be built on top of broken people. The key to a healthy community is a healthy individual
• Privacy is collective: One's vulnerabilities are everyone's vulnerabilities. We either encrypt together or get surveilled alone
• Neglecting the inner life is societal sabotage: Just as bodies require nourishment, souls demand meaning, awe, and connection — non-negotiable inputs for any system claiming to value human dignity

Vision

We are building a world in which:

• Everyone has access to the tools to control their own life and choices
• Infrastructure is owned by those who use it — no digital landlords
• The interest of the one human is just as important as the interest of the many
• Every human is sovereign; every community is a voluntary network
• Information is transparent and immutable, it is weaponized for liberation, not control

Mission

Cyber Anarchy will contribute towards its vision by producing a set of products, tools, policies, and media that will help as many people as possible regain autonomy over their lives, time, choices, money, attention, and other aspects of the human experience that have been stolen or butchered by governments, corporations, and other groups and individuals
