Our Vision
Roi Qualls
Transformation, like a caterpillar’s metamorphosis, is painful but necessary for humanity’s survival—and it starts at home.
HOw we started
A shared history, a rekindled friendship, and pragmatic faith that our dysfunctional world can be rehabilitated into a just and harmonious civilization and that avenues to contribute to its emergence are accessible to anyone.
Once upon a time in a quiet neighborhood, a friendship blossomed between two families. Hyacinth and her Mom became fast friends with Roi and his wife.
Hyacinth grew up and moved away. Over the next 20 years, they (infrequently) stayed in touch…or at least till Roi sent Hy a fateful text about an idea burning in his brain. “I want to tell a story about the first human voyage beyond our solar system. One that raises questions about big things in the future. But I need the right collaborator…someone smart with diverse perspectives. I think you might be that person.”
That conversation led to the founding of Knowetix, a writing partnership driven by a desire to create narratives which envision a just and harmonious world and document the painful struggle to get there.
KNOWETIX is a partnership dedicated to societal and personal transformation.
We explore challenging questions around human nature, conflict, and institutions to inspire new ways of thinking that encourage global harmony.
We strive to foster a world grounded in
justice, wisdom, and compassion through art, ideas, and innovative thinking.
Pleasant illusion or painful truth? Pick one.
KNOWETIX formed to write about humanity’s stark choice: adapt or die. We see the impediments to human solidarity. But just as clearly, we recognize the power of justice and unity. The question is what will be required for us, all of us, to transition from today’s rampant materialism, prejudice, dogmas and oppression to a future in which the diverse peoples of the world live in peace with one another and themselves? At the heart of Knowetix is thirst for knowledge, faith in human capacity, and commitment to search for practical solutions.
We want to learn about movements across the world to harness human energy and ingenuity to refashion society according to principles of justice and equity. How can we do this without resorting to tactics of domination, greed, guilt or manipulation that characterize so much institutional behavior today?
We hope you will contribute insights from your own experience and aspirations for a peaceful future.
