Now more than ever
we need to come together

 There are so many forces that isolate us. Corporate tech that make billions keeping us passively on our phones, corrupt politicians keeping us divided. A majority of people say that nobody knows them well. Technology and nefarious forces it enables has isolated us from our surroundings, from people we should have common interests with, and even people we love. 

We need to come together;

Rorshok tries new ways to help with that.

Our principles


We almost all have smart phones, we need to take this into account when coming together.

The profit motive usually leads to technology that doesn’t do what’s good for us or even what we want it to.

Different people and different groups want to connect in different ways for different purposes.

We should come together in ways that preserve our autonomy, where we are safe, and where we are as equal as possible.

Let's see what works

What used to be called “the news” has become a constant shrill barrage and is less and less connected to where we actually live or what affects our lives.

Reading is a better way to learn and understand than scrolling but where do we do our reading that will let us calmly concentrate on what we want to know? Books, newspapers, our phone, laptop, Kindle? There should be a better way to get things to read on paper.

It’s often not easy for groups, small or big, to decide things; which restaurant to meet at, which movie to watch, which present to buy a coworker. What is the easiest, fastest, fairest, funnest way?

How best to bring a group of people together who have a common interest? Often the first question is “which platform”? Email? Facebook? Discord? WhatsApp group? But each of these have huge disadvantages. Is there an easier, better way?

When a large group of people, interested in a particular topic but who don’t know each other, get together, the usual default way is a conference or a concert where there are those on the stage who speak, or perform and those who are attendees or the audience. But what if everybody came together with the goal of building a community as equals, what would that be like?

Groups of people who work together need to build trust, chat, brainstorm, plan, and work. When they meet or chat, eventually and ideally, they need to decide on tasks that they each should do. But keeping track of those can be difficult for each and all. Is there an easier way?

Exhausted with gigantic tech monopolies locking you in? Tired of the ennui machine of corporate social media? Tired of being a victim of the surveillance economy? Want a clean, autonomous, focused on-line life?

Nothing can replace meeting people in real life. Every year in April Rorshok hosts an amazing diverse community somewhere in the world. Interested in joining? Write us about who you are and why you’d like to join at info@rorshok.com with Rorshokoba in the subject line.

This is all great but how does Rorshok do this stuff, meaning (mainly) how does it make money? We’re working on it.
