This
article is Brownstone Institute’s background information.
Faith Reporters
chose to publish the organisation’s background because it communicates the
sacred, universal desire to be free and the struggles that saved humanity from the
deception of “Common Good” which is actually never common to the many.
Brownstone
Institute has played a vital role in advocating for a balance between public
health measures and people’s freedom in this Covid era in the USA and the world
at large.
As you read it,
you’ll find that its cause is a universal cause and its loud words are the same as the faint
ones we hear coming from masked mouths.
Good luck
The Brownstone
Institute is a non-profit organization founded in May 2021.
Its vision is of
a society that places the highest value on the voluntary interaction of
individuals and groups while minimizing the use of violence and force including
that which is exercised by public or private authorities.
This vision is
that of the Enlightenment which elevated learning, science, progress, and
universal rights to the forefront of public life.
It is constantly
threatened by ideologies and systems that would take the world back to before
the triumph of the ideal of freedom.
The motive force
of Brownstone Institute was the global crisis created by policy responses to
the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020.
That trauma
revealed a fundamental misunderstanding alive in all countries around the world
today, a willingness on the part of the public and officials to relinquish
freedom and fundamental human rights in the name of managing a public health
crisis, which was not managed well in most countries. The consequences were
devastating and will live in infamy.
The policy
response was a failed experiment in full social and economic control in most
nations. And yet the lockdowns are also widely considered a template of what is
possible.
It’s not just
about this one crisis but past and future ones as well. This lesson concerns
the desperate need for a new outlook that rejects the power of the legally
privileged few to rule over the many under any pretext.
The name
Brownstone originates from the malleable, but long-lasting building stone (also
called “Freestone”) used so commonly in 19th-century American cities, preferred
for its beauty, practicality, and strength.
The Brownstone
Institute regards the great task of our times as rebuilding the foundation of
liberalism as classically understood, including core values of human rights and
freedom as non-negotiables for an enlightened society.
Our mission
The mission of
the Brownstone Institute – which is, in many ways, the spiritual child of
the Great Barrington Declaration – is constructively to come to terms
with what happened, understand why, discover and explain alternative paths, and
seek reforms to prevent such events from happening again.
Lockdowns and
mandates have set a precedent in the modern world and without accountability,
social and economic institutions will be shattered once again.
Brownstone
Institute plays an essential role in preventing a recurrence by holding
decision-makers, media elites, technology companies, and intellectuals
accountable.
This is
especially true given the ubiquity of tech censorship.
In addition, the
Brownstone Institute hopes to shed light on a path to recovery from the
devastating collateral damage, while providing a vision for a different way to
think about freedom, security, and public life.
Brownstone Institute
looks to influence a post-lockdown world by generating new ideas in public
health, philosophy, scientific discourse, economics, and social theory.
It hopes to
enlighten and mobilize public life to defend and promote the liberty that is
critical for an enlightened society from which everyone benefits.
The purpose is
to point the way toward a better understanding of essential freedoms –
including intellectual freedom and free speech – and the proper means to
preserve essential rights even in times of crisis.
The research and
content of the institute are sophisticated but accessible. Operationally,
Brownstone’s mode is no fluff in the budget, no bureaucrats, no cronies, only a
highly competent small team working to change the world.
It will have
media reach and call on scientists, intellectuals, and others who are dedicated
to this task.
