⫸ MAD I OWN #OWNYOURVOICE ⫷

Dear Reader,

Welcome Home.

This is a spontaneous entry, a little earlier than it's supposed to be, which I've been thinking about quite a long while, now I know this is the time. I can't release this on any day, but today. A kind reminder; this is just the beginning of everything.

I hope you're having a beautiful day, if it has been a little though, my wishes are with you as a reminder that you're stronger than you think you are.

Looking at today's world, the infamous 21st century, especially 2020/1, I keep thinking... Where did we go wrong? As we keep "modernizing", ironically with each update, each theft we encounter, we become less and less human, polarized creatures.

The worst part is, we never realize any of it until it's too late. So, dear You, if you hear my words inside your head, let them fly, for MAD I OWN is yet to become the thing we are, globally & humanly. You are a part of this movementary community, for that I, and the world will be eternally grateful to you. If you are here now, you are a partisan of the purest version of MAD I OWN, we will grow together, and our journey is not going to be easy, the best thing is we will have each other.

Before I get to what I would like to say, as you've seen in the title, I wanted to use this space to thank you properly, for being here. MAD I OWN was born as a home for the writer's words, however, it is not a blog; it is a representation. You might have heard me before talking about the free-membership, from now on, MAD I OWN is a cause, we, as humans, have to retrieve. The clock is ticking, and the countdown has already begun.

This is the Revolution.

Ever since MAD I OWN was born on March 8, 2020; the goal has been simple: create a location for words to breathe, ad libitum. We have words to liberate, and in this journey, your supportive eyes have been inexpressibly valuable, not just to me, but to the world.

MAD I OWN will rise from the ashes, once and FOR ALL. This transformation will begin initially at the beginning of February, releasing the MIOFESTO, guidelines for creating the world we want to live in.

We, have OUR CHOICE.

What kind of world would you want to live in?

I can only imagine your surprised glares at the screen.. "What, Why, When, How.." In time, I will answer all those questions in the most crystallized way, however, our major purpose lies in "Why?" at this moment.

We were turned against each other, polarized and filled with disgust; we were led to consume, constantly more than we need, often nothing that we need. Designers, in the assurance they have not taken a Hippocratic Oath, under the commands of "invisible hand", have created the destruction, with bare hands, of their own kind's destruction. This movement is a matter of question no more.

We have to protect what's our own, we have to protect HUMAN.

All around the world, there are people fighting to create a better world, we have to OWN & PROTECT what is ours.

We must own & protect nature because it's our home.

We must own & protect our private information, because it's no one's business but our own.

We must own & protect what is ours, we must own & protect HUMAN.

We are building AI's, and bots; and it's NOT their job to be human, they are created to make our lives easier, NOT make us less than what we are or what we have.

For this reason, MAD I OWN is going to lead the movement, encouraging you & the world to #ownyourvoice

This movement is not one-sided, it's not about protecting our data or nature, it's about protecting our gifts, protecting our talent; encouraging people to use what they have for good.

This is the beginning of not a new chapter, but the first page a whole new book.

Countdown to the MIOLUTION has begun.
