REALISM IN MIND, IDEALISM IN ACTION

FOR HUMANITY.

The world is divided, polarized, and conflicted; for the West, this is especially the case along the conceptual lines of human and cultural diversity. The root cause of this is because we misunderstand human nature and thus what constitutes human diversity and human society as well—and where there is no humanity there is nothing to unify us, and only division and strife can remain—which is where the pressures of pluralism and globalization further serve to make things even more volatile. And even where it does not lead to civil unrest, it still prevents flourishing and redemption, which is ill-fated enough. And that is where Flume comes in.

Flume is a knowledge-based social enterprise that works from a singular first-principled, humanities-rich, and human-centered framework to understand social issues in deep, comprehensive, and humane ways. Rather than just “solving” or “removing” these challenges, however, Flume exists to cultivate redemption and human flourishing in their place.

More specifically, the mission of Flume is to: 1.) enliven a dignified understanding of human nature and human diversity in the public square; 2.) help the West heal its many divisions and grow human capital in developing nations; and 3.) to cultivate the good, true, and beautiful in all areas of local and global culture.

In short, Flume exists for flourishing. Flume exists for humanity.
