Doubt everything

There are a vast array of scales operating everywhere

There are many commonalities across all creatures, but no tow are alike, not even twins

Knowing the truth is a duty, not a privilege

The truth often loses but it is best when it wins

Science and religion are orthogonal. Spirit is inexplicable and subjectivity can never be understood by objective methods

The world is a mess in desperate need of competent repair

There is always a best you can do, no matter how bad the situation, and we will keep trying to do that

The more absolute your principles, the fewer of them you can have without hypocrisy. Ethics is always contingent.

While being wary of chralatans, people’s ideas should respect the relative competence of others in their respective domains of expertise.

Definitely captures the simple kind of thought-bomb needed to catch people's attention and move them beyond binary opposition. For me, the 'monk' word in some ways replicates Vinay's "Templars of Earth" brand, in that it implies a limited set of early-adopters outside the mainstream. Is this what you intended? What name do we have for when this spreads beyond? I like the sentiment behind "Millennial" - we definitely need something epic and "long now"-y. Somehow "Millenial Dawn" sounds like a South American narco-terrorist cult to me, tho! ;) Not sure that's the tone we're going for... Very nice.
