Principles to live by

Freedom is not a gift from rulers — it’s the birthright of every person.
No title, office, or crowd can take it away or trade it on your behalf.
History shows that power always tries to grow at the expense of the individual,
and that it hides behind fine words to excuse control and violence.

At Kozmoz, we believe the only just society is one built on voluntary agreement and respect for each person’s life, liberty, and property.

1. No one can delegate rights that they do not inherently possess.
If it’s not okay for you to do something, you can’t ask someone else to do it for you — not even the government.

2. Real authority comes from consent.
Being a bully is not authority. Honest authority comes when people ask for help and voluntarily agree to it because it is beneficial.

3. A contract only binds those who agree to it.
Just because some people in the past made an agreement , that does not mean that we today have to follow it if we never agreed.

4. Taking without consent is theft.
Threatening people or using force to take their time, money, or property against their will is wrong — even if there’s a law or politician that says it is okay.

5. Bigger groups don’t have more rights.
Just because more people think something is okay does not mean they can force a smaller group to obey.

6. Needing to use violence shows you are not right.
If a group or government has to use threats, prisons, or guns to make people obey, it has no true authority. You dont have to use force to get people to follow a good idea.

7. Personal behavior is not a crime.
Doing something that harms no other person is not a crime, and people have no right to punish you for things that do not cause objective harm to others.

8. Laws are not always justice.
Words written on paper by powerful , rich and influential people are not magic, and their claims do make those words or laws right or fair. Right is self evident.

9. We are all born sovereign over our own lives.
No person or group has the right to make you do something you do not agree to.

10. Power without consent is criminal.
If a group does whatever it wants to you without your agreement, they’ are simply criminals and hoodlums with flags, guns, and funny clothes.

There you go — the ends do not justify the means.
Right is right and wrong is wrong, it is never okay to control another human nor is it ok to harm any other person, except in a case of true self-defense.

Sometimes the simplest truths are the hardest to see, because powerful people have enormous incentive to keep regular people from seeing the truth.

Before Kozmoz starts any new program, we make sure it does not go against any of these guiding principles. And any program already in place must continue to follow them at all times.
