Empowerment is widely inclusive to more than a narrow subculture. Movements often paint themselves into a corner by scratching a particular niche group’s itch for rebellion without creating something that reaches out beyond the choir. Empowerment is not like that. Whoever you are, whatever you care about, your opportunities here abound. 

Empowerment Already Exists

"It was on the tip of everyone's tongue, we just gave it a name."
—Fight Club

Empowerment isn't new, it is an umbrella to unite the many efforts that people have made since humanity first dreamt of a better world.

The Empowerment satisfies a need that already exists by enabling more people to become active participants. There are already many people engaging in activism of various kinds. We're just taking it to the next level and making empowering culture mainstream.

 

Empowered With A Capital 'E'

People all over the world who already better themselves and change the world are already empowered in their own ways.

People who take up The Empowerment cause to empower themselves and enable humanity in an effective way are Empowered.

Critics Needed

If you’re a critic, you can provide much-needed feedback. Wheather you love it or you hate it, you are free to make it your own. There’s certainly plenty to critique. What isn’t controversial about the world and any imperfect attempt to understand it? Make your feelings known in the Empowerment Criticism Forum. But try to understand what you’re commenting about or expect to be told to ‘RTFM’.

The Ideas section is a useful guide to how media works. Wherever you are on the political spectrum, be you liberal or conservative or whatever, the Ideapedia section can help you clarify your own ideas and understand other perspectives with more empathy.

Gamers Get Something Really Worth Playing

If you’re a gamer, you are already playing all the games you can get your hands on and have time for. You’ve probably noticed that many games are instantly addictive to play but turn predictably tedious after the investment of many hours until they end in anticlimax with little learned or accomplished. Why not play something worthwhile? Gamers are always searching for the next big thing, a game which will show them something outside the tired clone genres. Empowerment is the game gamers have been waiting for. And unlike escape fantasies, this game prepares you for participation in real world activism and provides ample opportunities to get involved.

Non-Gamers Needn't Play To Participate

If you’re not a gamer, don’t worry about the gaming-related parts of this book. Real-world empowerment is the goal, and the games are just a part of the greater project. You don’t have to play any games to practice Empowerment. The games are just training tools for the real world activities that are quite real and practical. You may become a gamer yet.
