Together, We Defeat the Loneliness Algorithm
PALADINS is a secular, grassroots organization that offers an alternative to the anti-social status quo. As a society, we've chosen an unhealthy relationship with technology that has made us more anxious, depressed and lonely. We can choose a future of vital communities and leave behind the social wasteland the tech companies have left in their wake.
A Life Lived Online Is a Life Not Lived
"Social" media is anything but. It polarizes us, immiserates us and has made us lonelier than ever. PALADINS reject this sad reality. Instead, we meet offline, without devices, to rediscover what it means to be human.
Group meetings consist of a short large group session, after which participants are divided into groups of four for a structured activity to explore attitudes and values. These activities ask you to share deeply about who you are as a person, which evidence suggests leads to deeper bonds. We realize this may be difficult for some people; PALADINS will never pressure anyone to share anything they don't feel comfortable sharing.
In the medium term, PALADINS aims to spearhead apolitical advocacy efforts to cultivate a more socially connected society.
