MISSION STATEMENT
YΔCHT is a Band, Belief System, and Business conducted by Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans of Marfa, Texas and Portland, Oregon, USA. All people are welcome to become members of YΔCHT.
Accordingly, YΔCHT is and always will be what YΔCHT is when YΔCHT is standing before you.
YΔCHT is about group consciousness. YΔCHT is about the individual man or woman. If you believe these assertions to be contradictory, consider the Triangle: it is both a collection of points and a shape.
The Triangle is also a concept map between three points. But it is not merely a concept.
YΔCHT believes all things, hopes all things, has endured many things, and hopes to be able to endure all things. If there is anything principled or pleasing, YΔCHT seeks it.
YΔCHT seeks to explore frontiers and to expand awareness of extraterrestrial Intelligence -- which is not only real, but necessary.
YΔCHT believes in reforming an adequate language by coining new words. Through this and other processes, YΔCHT applies principles that demand the existing relationship between human beings and the other animals be changed.
YΔCHT believes in an Afterlife. YΔCHT does not believe in "Heaven," or "Hell."
YΔCHT encourages online dissemination of all things.
YΔCHT believes "Free Wi Fi" is not an advertisement of services, but a political statement.
Secondary interpretation of YΔCHT and the Triangle is not forbidden, but strongly frowned upon.
YΔCHT is always available for consultation at the source (please email trust@teamyacht.com), so misinterpretations are unnecessary and will always be corrected. A general policy of openness and light has been instated.
YΔCHT believes that to all people have a right to Free thought, Free expression, to write their opinions freely and to counter, utter, and write upon the opinions of others.
There is a difference between Free as in "Free Lunch" and Free as in "Liberated." YΔCHT believes that music and the Internet will become both, in time.
That said, YΔCHT will never participate in "flame war" culture.
YΔCHT IS NOT A CULT.
