OUR MISSION

"We're giving away priceless perspective and clarity regarding the human experience and selling t-shirts for fun to support the cause."

________________

Figure It Out Apparel Co. is founded on a unique, yet ubiquitous philosophical framework that bridges the gap between existence and humanity. If you're interested in impactful ideas to improve your life - keep reading!

We believe successful navigation and rational understanding of the human experience can be explained in just a few key words representing a couple top philosophical concepts. Carrying the awareness of the revisioned simplicity of life empowers us to find success by honoring this short list of concepts throughout our daily efforts.

Our company celebrates “eclecticism” - the construction of a system of thought through combining elements of the established systems of a previous age - since just as the best meals do not consist of one ingredient alone, we must always seek to combine the best aspects of all variables and thoughts in a manner that’s as joyful & tasteful for as many as possible.

Not many apparel brands have true value & influence that can change your life - but this one surely might. Once you become aware of this group of concepts, you will be shocked at their pervasiveness in how you manage your emotions and activities as an agent of humanity. (From now on, every time you hear someone say "figure it out," take a mental sip of your drink and think of us!)

As optimists, we think the world can change if we all individually live with progressive, ethical intentions. Check out our invaluable framework for philosophical success for free - right here!

Comprehension of the following information can dramatically impact your life!

One of our core beliefs is that understanding existence is essential in deriving a functional humanity.

We’ve made it our mission to share our practical understanding of the relationship between existence and humanity with the world. Along with this, you can count on us to hook you up with other essential ideas regarding humanity that we’re shocked nobody ever taught us.

Let’s get into it!

So what does it even mean to exist?

Existence is a pattern of perception & reaction.

Utilizing your senses, you are constantly perceiving the world.

and...

Utilizing your agency, you are constantly reacting to the world.

(Repeat)

Let’s break this down :

Perception focuses on variables.

Dependable utilization of variables requires logic.

Logic as a functional concept is “devotion to reliable rationality.”

The result of actions devoted to reliable rationality is progress.

Reaction focuses on emotion.

Safeguarding emotions requires morality.

Morality as a functional concept is “devotion to mutual respect.”

The result of being regularly devoted to mutual respect is humility and collective joy.

In short, successful management of existence (perception & reaction) through logic & morality (rationale & respect) results in humanity (progress & humility).

In contrast, failed management of one’s existence by acting irrationally and immorally establishes inhumanity (apathy & arrogance).

Ultimately, one perceives so that they can foster progress and one must remain humble to find emotional balance for regulating reactions that are required constantly.

It is imperative we all understand this and share this essential concept with one another for the collective development of quality character to encourage a world truly intent on being humane.

Furthermore, protection of our humanity requires unanimous acceptance of these two core critiques regarding the essentials of our existence.

A. This is not reliably rational.

B. This is not devoted to mutual respect.

If a position doesn’t satisfy both requirements, then it is to be considered unethical and should be flagged, abandoned, and improved.

It is of the utmost importance to utilize this insightful judgment to truly test the character of oneself and others.

Once considered, humility is an absolute necessity in order to secure progress.

This can seem like a lot, but it’s quite simple to check in with our humanity.

Did you give an honest effort in being reliably rational for the sake of collective progress?

Did you exhibit respectful character that was devoid of attitude and arrogance?

You did? Well damn, guess you’ve got it figured out!

We’ve struggled through life just as you have. To aid our adventure, we’ve studied religions, philosophies, sciences, and arts. We found they’re all beautiful means to communicate the same principles to each other, but embellishments may have distracted us all from the vital elements. We’ve done our best to simplify all the morals of the stories we could to develop a more contemporary, formulaic humanity. Check it out right here!

"THE 'FIGURE IT OUT' FRAMEWORK"

Philosophical Formula for Ethical Social Success

Successfully navigate all moments of your life with understanding of these core functional concepts!

"Figure It Out" = Pragmatism (Intentional Problem Solving)

Humans have accomplished incredible things - all because of our will to live and our ability to observe, predict, and take action. Existence is simply a repetition of perception & reaction, so pattern recognition is wisdom.

Joy is found in solutions.

Problem solving is the journey.

If problem solving is constant, then patience is essential, so stay persistent and continually remind yourself that...

"You’re Okay" = Stoicism (Strength Through Acceptance)

Experiencing existence in any representative or circumstantial manner is objectively incredible! An evolving, patient perspective of the nature of our circumstances is essential to progressive attitudes and behavior.

"Be Safe" = Utilitarianism (Protection of the Well-Being of All)

Since we perceivably have just one chance to exist, we all must be incredibly careful and respectful for our collective sake. Self-awareness and consideration for others is essential in crafting a world that maximizes happiness and well-being for all.

"Have Fun" = Epicureanism (Embracing of Sensory Abilities)

Life is a rare occurrence and we must experience all that we safely can, with wonder in our eyes and passion in our hearts.

"Love" = Existentialism (Emboldened Authenticity of Thinking, Feeling, and Acting)

You could be null, but instead you are full. Choose love continually & reject the void of apathy. Creating collective joy is the most noble achievement.

Figure It Out | You're Okay | Be Safe | Have Fun | Love

To reiterate our other core beliefs, fundamentally, we find that existence is simply a pattern of perception & reaction. You can't control what you will perceive, but you can control how you react - that's simply the human experience. This pattern, perfected, is to perceive function and to react with joy. Co-existing patterns (aka us) require devotion to mutual respect (morality) to perfect joy and reliable rationality (logic) to perfect function.

Logic + Morality = Ethics

Proper, empathetic decision-making and conduct from all people is the only way to foster equitable, functioning futures for all our lives.

Your existential choice is : hype & help or hate & harm.

Make your pattern beautiful.

True personal enlightenment comes from a patient ownership of our spiritual equilibrium and reactions. Be continually self-aware and choose wisely!
