The Liberation of Thought Initiative
The Liberation of Thought Initiative
Free thinking, and thinking outside the box has always been something that we had to do, yet we stay punished and oppressed for doing what was told.
Whether it was for school, work, and or family, you were forced to think outside the norm to do what must be done. However, why are people punished, bullied, and sometimes even incarcerated for a way of thinking that would not only help today, but the future as well? In art, in technology, in science, the free thinking, is necessary to innovate and inspire other generations, but it is not reinforce at all within modern structures of society, we are always made to conform, always persuaded to buy into things that are safe. However, the Liberation of Thought Initiative wishes to change that. We believe that societal pressure and the structure of educational systems affect students in the development of creative thinking. We wish to change the future. We wish to not be forgotten, nor be carved in granite.
We wish for the betterment of the world, and society.
ideas.
The following are ideas, in media of varying kinds, that all explore the ideals of the Liberation of Thought Initiative.
We hope the ideas above were able to reach you in the way we had hoped.
​
While exploring the ideas up above we were able to deduce that a lot of people have been left behind and discouraged by being forced to partake in certain systems of education, as not everyone is suited for an academic way's of life.
Do you believe you have been affected, or others you know about have been affected?
The following questions, were developed to determine whether or not you were affected by social pressure and/or the educational systems structure. It is also how we determined if others were affected. We encourage you to check the "ideas." section once again, and reflect, and ask your self or others, if they've been impeded by the system.
