Sunatorism
The cornerstone of Sunatori's personal philosophy is a framework he calls Sunatorism. Sunatorism is defined as "minimalistic total optimisation by absolute simplicity, ultimate consistency and complete organisation." He expresses this as a formula:
(Absolute Simplicity) x (Ultimate Consistency) x (Complete Organisation) = (Maximum Efficiency) -> (Maximum Satisfaction)
This reflects his engineering mindset applied to life and problem-solving: the pursuit of the most efficient path to the most satisfying outcome.
Core Life Mission
Sunatori describes his life's purpose as a "relentless pursuit of peace and happiness through logical contribution to Canadian society and human civilisation via discoveries and inventions."
Intellectual Stance: Defying Convention
A defining feature of his philosophy is a strong anti-conformist streak. He advocates to "defy culture, custom, convention, tradition, myth, heritage, class, conservatism, and establishment in favour of progress," and to "not go with the flow but go against the current of human nature for progress by making waves."
The Art of Questioning
Sunatori emphasizes asking "how," "what if," "why," and "why not" rather than "what," "when," "where," "which," and "who" - and to constantly question assumptions and challenge the status quo. This reflects a philosophy of getting to the root of problems rather than accepting surface-level answers.
Sunatori's Doctrine
Among the many concepts he has named after himself is Sunatori's Doctrine, which he defines as making logical decisions over established culture and tradition. This ties directly into his broader worldview that reason and evidence should override inherited norms.
Cultural & Intellectual Influences
His philosophical influences span science fiction and popular culture, including Star Trek: The Original Series and The Next Generation (for their explorations of the future and moral ethics), Simon & Garfunkel (philosophy), and Forbidden Planet (possibility). These influences point to a mind shaped equally by humanistic and futurist thinking.
In essence, Sunatori's philosophy is a blend of engineering rationalism, radical individualism, and futurism - the idea that progress comes from relentless logical questioning, simplifying complexity, and refusing to be bound by tradition.
