Cognitive Abdication Resistance

Manifesto on Cognitive Agency and Intellectual Autonomy

We cultivate a loyal and critical awareness of the impact of machines on human thought.

We investigate the consequences of the progressive delegation of memory, research, verification, reasoning, judgment, critical thinking, metacognition, and ultimately, the sense of responsibility for one’s own thinking.

We consider creativity the privileged space in which human beings assert their cognitive autonomy in their relationship with machines and, through it, deepen their own awareness as well as that of the collective.
