We come from different backgrounds. We are academics, lawyers, grassroots organizers, teachers, artists, writers, journalists, and advocates. But most importantly, we are a group dedicated to critical thinking about our society. We worry about where we're going, and want to leave this world better off than how we found it. Too many people in this society are just asleep, programmed, and tuned out. We want to do our part to wake them up.
About the name
The quote from The Matrix resonates pretty strongly with us, and our reasons for starting up this blog. Bending the spoon is impossible, so instead, you must become one with the spoon. Once you do that, there is no spoon, there is only you. Then all you need to do is bend yourself. It's the same way with the world. We can't change it by ourselves, but if we become one with it, we can make a difference just with our own actions.
