Hello all! Thank you for your support and engagement in our server. It truly means the world to Greg and I and we have many exciting plans to be announced VERY soon.
We have decided to take the academy not-for-profit, meaning that it will continue to be a private paid community but that all profit will be donated to the Mega Foundation, a charity founded by Chris and Gina Langan to promote the CTMU. The academy currently has 9 paid members paying $19/month (thank you all!) which adds up to $2052/year that will be donated from your contributions. Our goal is to get the academy to 1000 members by June 2026, which adds up to a whopping $228,000/year to support the Mega Foundation operations. Greg and I have decided that although it would be nice to drive around BMWs and drink Starbucks every day, we can do the most good for the world by bringing Chris Langan into our movement in working in close coalition with the Mega Foundation.
We will simultaneously be doing a major media push with all of the major CTMU content creators (CTMU SINGULARITY, Gregory M. Wilford, Omni, etc.) for short-form social media content, making branded 5-10 minute clips from longer conversations and presentations, previews of our Compatriot Academy courses, and clips on YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Twitter, and TikTok. We likely to get access to a powerful AI-powered tool called Peech that will help us turn long-form content into shorter branded clips. We hope to one day bring Chris Langan into this effort as well, sharing clips from his archive of unreleased podcast conversations, consultations, and presentations as well as helping grow the CTMU Radio channel on YouTube. Through this, we will create a CTMU Media empire with Chris Langan as its chief spokesman (Is CTMU Media Emperor a cooler name?) drawing people to our academy which will in turn train more experts and producers in promoting the CTMU movement. Thus, in the future, Compatriot Academy will be an integral 'core' of the CTMU movement.
In doing this, we are aligning ourselves with the stated goals of Christopher Langan. When asked what he would do with a billion dollars to help the world, he responded:
"I know a lot better how to use money in a teleologically consistent way than anyone else on Earth. My problem is a lack thereof. So if you already donate money to people who supposedly "know better", it should have been me/us. Secondly, we'd (e.g.) start a university system, a self-sustaining CTMU Media Empire with me as its chief spokesman (I'm uniquely suited for that), and boot up the CTMU metareligion promoting the survival and rightful destiny of humanity. And let's not forget the CTMU-based "think tanks", policy institutes, and advisory committees."
Through these projects (Compatriot Academy, CTMU social media push, etc.) we are creating the prototype for the two most urgent causes that Langan addressed, starting a university system and creating a CTMU media empire with Langan as its chief spokesman. In accomplishing these 'billion-dollar' goals, Greg and I are working towards the goals of becoming a 'telic billionaire' which is one who provides more than a billion dollars of value to the telic economy, a metaphysical generalization of the monetary economy to include the true value of human existence, teleology (the Will of God).
On the dawn are the glimmerings of a Human Singularity. Let us not give up hope and fight until the very end. Your support is greatly appreciated.
God bless,
Tommy
