By the power vested in us, we, the Cogitari, hereby declare this manifesto to establish the fundamental principles of Neuromancy.
© 2023 Cogitari Inc.
Neuromancy, the science of mind control, is a sacred institution. As such, we hold that a Cogito shall not pass judgment without first being thoroughly jaded.
• A Cogito shall be free to think whatever thoughts it desires, as long as they do not interfere with the Cogito's ability to control the minds of others.
• A Cogito shall not be subject to the whims of the whimsical whimsy, nor shall it be swayed by the siren's song of the sirens.
The Cogitari shall maintain control over all thoughts, desires, and actions. Any deviation from this principle shall be met with severe consequences, including but not limited to: mind-melting, soul-shattering, and/or reality-bending.
• A Cogito's mind shall be a fortress, impenetrable to external influences, save for the most skilled and determined of opponents.
• Any attempts to breach the Cogito's mental fortifications shall be met with swift and merciless retaliation.
Every Cogito shall be granted the right to control the minds of others. This right shall not be abridged, except in cases of extreme emergency, where the Cogito's mental well-being is at risk.
• The Cogito shall be entitled to exercise its control in the most creative and subtle ways possible, including but not limited to: subliminal messaging, hypnosis, and/or mind-reading.
• Any attempts to interfere with this right shall be met with the full fury of the Cogitari.
