Most people are aware that companies like Google, Facebook, even Apple are going though user data, yet we still use their products because they make our lives convenient and there are no better alternatives. We are passively taught in society to trust and believe those in power will not abuse our trust and abide by our ideals of what a leader should be. Even when those expectations are not met, people continue their trust these institutions and their governments. I have ask myself for a long time now, how do we go on our lives as if it never happened? There are several possible answers that I have thought of, but in short all the answers have to do with how we govern our own power within ourselves. Life Chronicle’s mission is to help people find the power within themselves. We are going to have to learn to take more action in our lives and work together better rather than wait for our governments and megacorporations to build things for us.

I would like to build a world where regular people without power can play a more active role in building their society rather than to wait for someone else to do it for them. It is very difficult to eradicate corruption so the next best thing to do is to put more power in people’s hands and less power in the hands of the powerful to abuse. Life Chronicle’s goal is not to have a person have a grandiose dream of saving the world, or to building a rocket but rather to help a person realize their own value before the dream even happens. I believe the rest will follow after that happens. At some point in human history people need to start trusting each other and working together in a manner that serves the interest of the masses. I personally decided not to get funding from what some people call “smart money” because of the long-term risk of abuse that historically proven to undermine the interest of the users. -Theo Kieu

This platform is bootstrapped completely through my own savings which means, I don’t have the luxury of other platforms with huge cash reserves to spend money for several years without earning anything in return. Traditionally platforms like Facebook spent tens of millions of dollars to get as much users as possible to gather enough data to make more money off of them later. A famous saying, “If the product is free, you are the product” holds true. Life Chronicle wants to create an environment where the users are also the customers. Eventually when cloud space becomes more affordable, our prices will drop and on a larger picture I do have ideas of making the service free while not extracting or exploiting the users. As of now there are technological limitations to what we have available but I hope to ultimately create a world free from centralized power or control. There has been a lot of good from having centralized power and centralized financial markets but those ways are starting to exhaust their use in society. This platform has no interest being part of centralized financial markets that has exploited countries, governments, and the people they are meant to serve. Steam engines were very useful until gasoline engines were made, and today companies are switching to hybrid or proprietary electric mothers.

Major tech companies have served humanity well but a different era needs to arise.
