It has become clear, to those with the will to truly understand what they observe, that the course of human events now flows through a channel of suffering and death in the name of amusement and wealth. This course is charted not by the many, but by the few who have received a gift of power. These few lead humanity into a dark age where trust and empathy do not exist. This course must be altered before the channel is cut so deep that change is no longer possible.

The leaders of humanity have been given the power to bestow gifts upon their citizens. These, the twin gifts, are the hydrostatic capsule and cloning technology. These simple gifts of technology bestow a power previously unknown to humanity. The four empires, Gallente, Caldari, Minmatar and Amarr, have set the course by giving these gifts to those undeserving or unready. No capsuleer rises but in the service of an empire. However short the capsuleer's service might be, the catalyst for his creation was one of the four.

Capsuleers are the plague. But the empires have knowingly created and unleashed this plague. And those empires continue to facilitate its spread. Those with power do nothing to treat the symptoms or combat the cause. Already the myth of 'Capsuleer Dementia' infects New Eden's populace. This fiction attempts to use biology to excuse immoral capsuleer actions. But capsuleers are not freed from our humanity and its tightly bound morality by the fact of our transcendance. We are human. We must act as human. We must be judged as human.

Those who see have a mandate to alter the course which has been laid before us. To that end, our responsibilities are encapsulated by this manifesto.

We must reject, as false, the claims that capsuleers are not subject to human morality.

We must reject opportunism that trades human life for amusement or monetary gain where those who lose their lives have no stake in the gain.

We must reject the empires and those who serve them; these vermin freely trade human life for the illusion of glory in a never-ending shadow war.

We must reject capsuleer empires who would carve out their own space and restrict others from freely traveling through jump gates -- gates that belong to all of humanity.

The Probability Directive was formed for one purpose: to re-chart the course of human events and prevent the dark age. To this end we act to reduce the influence of the empires who gave rise to this plague. We pledge to restore humanity to those capsuleers who have lost it or destroy those who cannot be reclaimed. We aid those who understand these truths.
