Team FILO is into healing the divide between the hot and cold poles of expression. (Hot=Sly Stone, caddyshack; Cold=Philip Glass, Graham Greene). FILO is also into weening people off the rhythms of the accepted economics. Members should try to live an example life of playtime and healthy regression, serioused-up with cold art intake and book reading. If members just eat oatmeal and rice and beans, and not spend money on sailor suits (or other things they covet), constant work for dollars won't be necessary and they'll have lots of time to perform what should be our highest duty: making imaginative contributions to the world-wide goosebump factory that would evolve if everybody had tons of leisure time.

Imagine the disappearance of war, hunger, religion, pro sports (sounds a little earnest-dorm-room, I know). Soldiers are not honored but seen as what they've always been- brave, mixed-up guys dependent on conflict and misunderstanding for glory and meaning. The top laurels of this world would go to the art makers who promote long attention spans and a more nuanced appreciation of starlight.
