Welcome to ANTIDOTE

It is impossible to fully see and understand the intractable nature of social and psychological problems if one remains ensconced in one of the many available ideological rationalizations of the human condition, unaware of the inherently limited and divisive character of any particular mind set. Thus, only the willingness to independently observe the self in its conflicted relationship with itself, others and the world at large, opens the infinitely more compelling possibility of a serious and responsible life.

This admittedly radical alternative begins by deliberately freeing oneself from the domination and the false security intrinsic to all forms of tradition and authority through the cancellation of all commitment to any particular group, ideology, or pseudo solution. Only this level of maturity and independence allows a complete, unbiased and profound observation of the self and of the social and natural worlds in which we coexist. And it is only in the peculiar mental space created by this simultaneous abatement of ethnocentric and self-centered thought, that crucial questions pose themselves without demanding answers that would necessarily limited by experience and knowledge: —Is there an entirely different mode of being human? Is the chaotic and conflictive separation created by thought coherent with the ever unknowable fact of life as a whole?

This site and ANTIDOTE in particular, exist with the sole purpose of nourishing the reflection and dialogue of those for whom the possibility of true freedom is the only issue that matters.
