The Measure and Judgment Club (MJ Club) is not an official organization.
It has no hierarchy, no prophet, and no formal membership.
It is an abstract fellowship of wisdom seekers —
people who value truth, kindness, and wonder.
Anyone who holds these ideals is considered part of the MJ Club,
whether they have heard of it or not.
Ideology: fastidiousness about truth, resistance to being told what to think, and curiosity.

Motto: Seek Truth. Practice Kindness. Live with Wonder.
In any meaningful decision-making process, two fundamental steps always occur.
(1) Measurement:
We first observe, analyze, or evaluate a situation to understand its properties, patterns, or truths. Measurement gives us clarity and prevents misinterpretation.
(2) Judgement:
Once reality is properly measured, we interpret the results — deciding whether they are good or bad, sufficient or lacking, wise or unwise, aligned or misaligned with our goals and values.
Only after these two steps do actions take place. And these actions shape individuals, communities, and the world around us.
Therefore, we believe that a wise person is someone who has developed both skills:
the ability to measure reality accurately, and the ability to judge it wisely.
These two skills together form the basis of seeking truth.
The MJ Club exists to cultivate and honor these abilities.
Good decisions might lead to good deeds!
Support values: Honesty, Sportsmanship, Rational competency, Curiosity, and Respect of human dignity.
