This is an interesting idea with a horrible landing page.
But right now it's just profiles of three (interesting) people. Their messages and vision are great, definitely something I could get behind, but there's nothing there to engage in discussion, encourage others, or really give the site a purpose beyond "showing off the efforts of three people."

Oh, good point. Hmm..... Well, if they are not real, then it seems even more pointless. Yeah, color me confused.
I get/like the idea of trying to engage people in conversation about important social issues and technology, which is what I thought the site is trying to do (just doing it quite horribly)..... but I'm really not so sure now.

That's what this is? I guess that explains why the site didn't do anything when I entered "sex" as what I would work for. Seriously though, this site was not well thought out.

There are some vaguely cool ideas, themes and concepts here, but what is it really for? Why should I use this, what can I do with it? And why doesn't the prominent search bar do anything?

I think I get it, sort of.
Use the search bar at the top, type in something (or choose one they rotate), then facebook post or tweet it out, and it'll spread their message, and indicate to them (and everyone) that you're willing to work for (better health, food, money, whatever).

It's a portfolio. With a really bad landing page.
Are they actually profiles of three people? That copy suggests otherwise. I'm as confused as everybody else as to what the point of this is.

"Most unreadable web page seen in a month"
I'm asking honestly. Is there a product somewhere? A mailing list? A forum? What am I supposed to do?
So I guess you're supposed to react and start talking.

Pretty undiscoverable functionality, imo.
