Universal Knowledge Access

The Problem

Quality education and knowledge remain locked behind paywalls, expensive institutions, and geographic barriers. The commodification of information creates a two-tier society where only the privileged have access to the tools for advancement.

Our Position

We believe that knowledge is a commons — it belongs to all of humanity and should be freely shared. This means:

  • Open access publishing: Research and educational materials should be freely available
  • Community-driven education: Learning should be collaborative, not competitive
  • Multilingual resources: Knowledge should be accessible in every language
  • No paywalls: Critical information should never be locked behind a paywall

What We Propose

  1. Create and curate free educational resources across disciplines
  2. Support open-access publishing initiatives
  3. Translate important works into underserved languages
  4. Build platforms that prioritize knowledge sharing over profit
