| "The Core of a Civilization is its Citizens."
This quote from one of the co-founders of the EPIC Prject is the driving goal behind the entire project. Today's civilizations are focused on the civilizations, leaving their citizens behind. Forty-hour work weeks. Fear in the media. Whatever it takes to keep citizens working for the greater good of the civilization as a whole - denying themselves a life filled with their purpose for a life filled with the civilization's purpose.
It doesn't have to be this way.
