A formal legal entity does not yet exist. Everyone who works on ORI right now is either self funded, or funded by a source in-network, or out-of-network. For the duration of 2025, I have been funded primarily by RonenV, Kanro, and Analogue. The biggest question on my mind this week is whether to try & seek funding for another year to work on ORI directly, or to invest in one of the projects in the pipeline & contribute to ORI through that.
“scientists have discovered how religion started”
(but for real, it’s because, “if something bad keeps happening to you, it’s because you haven’t learned your lesson”. God is punishing you)
“reality is punishing you"
"Scientists have discovered how religion works”
When ancient humans said
“God is punishing you for sinning”
translated to modern times, that means:
“If (1) bad things keep happening to you, and (2) there is something you can do to avoid it, then (3) bad things will continue to happen to you, until you learn the cause”
“Things that happen in the world are caused by other things. If we are clever, and lucky, we can figure out the causes”
