We've been labeled by some as a latter-day splinter group of the 18th century Transcendentalism movement inspired by German Philosopher Immanual Kant, and further evolved by the likes of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau and Margaret Fuller. We are bound together by mind-expanding experiences and the hopeful optimism of a world flush with common courtesy and basic human decency. We are a fearless bunch in our right to be indecent, vulgar and at times even obscene as a means of figuratively grabbing a stranger by the collar and saying, "Dude, is life living you, or are you living life?" Above all, we are tethered to the essential birthright of having the power of free will. As defined by Oxford Languages, free will is the capacity to act without the constraint of necessity or fate; the innate ability of all living things to act at one's own discretion.
