Manifesto of Our Shared Humanity



http://ift.tt/1xnG6hZ

WE ARE HUMAN—WE ARE ONE—WE JOIN TOGETHER AS A SPECIES WE ARE DRIVEN by love and the desire to be useful to and benefit from our communities, not by greed, fear, selfishness, or malice WE GIVE our fellow humans credit for the same, though we all make mistakes WE SEE the suffering of others across the globe and, as compassionate beings, cannot enjoy our own liberty and comfort so long as others suffer WE ACKNOWLEDGE that when we do not prioritize the suffering of our human siblings above all other things, we agreed passively to live in a world of cruelty and oppression WE UNDERTAKE an immediate and urgent mission to restructure our systems to end injustice, exploitation, and cruelty WE CALL FOR the human family to settle its quarrels, end its vicious cycles, and make amends for its various abuses WE CONSIDER violence or coercion of any kind a dire and last resort even when under direct threat of violence or coercion ourselves WE DEMAND that life, liberty, and basic welfare be prioritized above all other concerns WE BELIEVE that the conditions of each and every individual are the concern of all individuals WE RECOGNIZE that humanity now has the technological capacity to directly involve in each and every decision the citizens affected by that decision WE CHALLENGE the idea that a government could ever be justified in keeping secrets from its people WE TRUST in the abilities and humanity of each of our fellow world citizens WE STATE that no man has the prerogative or the right to make decisions for another man on his behalf, or sacrifice her welfare, agency, or life for any reason up to and including the common welfare WE DECLARE OUR SHARED HUMANITY

Y Combinator Will Teach A Class On Startups At Stanford This Fall



http://tcrn.ch/1pihBMS

Startup accelerator Y Combinator is an undeniably helpful resource for entrepreneurs looking for mentorship through the tough process of building a company. Unfortunately, it's a very resource-intense program, in that the accelerator's partners can only devote time to so many startups without being stretched too thin.While hundreds of entrepreneurs get to go through the program each year, there are thousands more around the world who could benefit from the lessons imparted at YC. Y Combinator president Sam Altman says he started kicking that idea around about a year ago, and the result is a new lecture-based class at Stanford called "How to Start a Startup."Beginning one week from today, the class will offer a series of lectures on the big topics in founding a startup, including how you get and evaluate ideas, raise money, build a product people will like, and grow. While Altman will run the first two lectures ...
