*Live the Tale* is about the story humanity once dreamed for itself —
imagined by poets, scientists, humanists, and philosophers across the ages.
A world built on reason and compassion.
On freedom, tolerance, pluralism, democracy and shared progress.
A world where knowledge empowers, and technology serves us all.
*For everyone. Not just a chosen few.*
But that vision is under threat.
Fear, division, and false promises are gaining ground — all around us, and potentially within us.
There are those who exploit our darker instincts, speaking to the dark side in us.
They rise by fueling hate, simplifying truth, and turning democracy into their tool, eventually into an authoritarian nightmare that only serves the rich and powerful.
*Civilization takes effort – the effort to resist the dark side, even in ourselves.*
The effort to overcome the urge to reject what’s different.
To resist the temptation to give in to fear, selfishness, or hate – the forces that quietly erode what took generations to build.
To resist the longing for strongmen who flatter our egos and validate that dark side in us, but only for their own gain.
*We believe the time has come again to stand up for the better story.*
To live the tale — together.
With empathy, with courage, and with hope.
