Manifesto
Towards the prudent use of technology
The problem.
Many of us feel trapped.
The modern world and our imprudent use of technology have left many of us isolated and struggling in fruitless cycles. We are often seeking what is right, with a strong desire to be transformed to participate in what is good, but don't feel that we have the power to get there on our own.
And it's by design.
Entire industries profit from your isolation.
Pornography and infinite scrolling are engineered addictions. Our elites have spent billions of dollars and enlisted the brightest minds of our world not to love you, but to hijack your desires and keep you stuck in their system so that they can make more money.
But there is hope.
We're fighting back.
Many of us have struggled trying to escape this by ourselves for years. But it was never meant to be fought like that. The powers that be profit from keeping us isolated. Alone and atomized, we don't pose the threat of being able to break free from their system. But Camino is our declaration of war: to connect us together and break their hold.
That's why we built this.
You were never meant to fight alone.
Camino pairs you with an accountability partner and a small cohort walking the same road towards a good goal together. We have brought together the world's brightest scholars, spiritual authorities, and technologists to craft paths meant to guide y'all along the way.
And we'll never exploit you.
We did this because we love you.
Camino will never use algorithms to steal your attention, infinite feeds to exploit your impulses, or tracking to keep you coming back. Everything you share here is end-to-end encrypted — we can't read it, even if we wanted to. We don't do data harvesting; there are no ads: you are not the product. We believe the prudent use of technology is possible, and we are committed to only using it to help you.
