Manifesto

EVERYTHING
IS
UNFINISHED

01

Is there anything in this world that isnā€™t in motion? FromĀ cosmos to atoms, humans to opinions, we are but tinyĀ specs on long dotted lines, infinite and incomplete, asĀ thisĀ veryĀ listĀ is.

LOVE
THE PROCESS

02

Embrace mistakes, failures, detours, wanders, accidents, experiments. Counting on them as blessings helps us take greater risks and brings our journey to more exciting places.

SUBJECTIVE
EVERYWHERE

03

In lifeā€™s moving mosaic of bias where someoneā€™s blindspot is somebody elseā€™s focus, we canā€™t be our best without active listening, ignorance admitting, and context seeking.

MEANING
IS HOW
NOT WHAT

04

Fluid, nomadic, emerging: meaning is inseparable from theĀ system that builds it. Focus less on the parts to better see the relations. Less flatness, more difference. LessĀ nouns,Ā moreĀ verbs.

CONTRAST
IS
THE SOLUTION

05

Apparently, itā€™s natural to avoid conflict. Itā€™s also wrong. WhatĀ we need is better, smarter, kinder conflict that puts our differences to work to engineer models that suit everybody.

WE
ARE
THE ARTISTS

06

As Joseph Beuys points out, weā€™re all capable of meaning, revealing, transforming. This makes anyone, anything, anywhereā€”everyone, everything, everywhere!ā€”responsibleĀ forĀ change.

BORDERS
ARE
POROUS

07

Countries, humans, ideas: permeability makes endless possibilities. But the more lines and boxes we invent, the more dangerous echoes and bubbles we create.

?
(UNKNOWN)

08

New things can only happen if we leave them space. Uncertainty allows for unsprouted ideas, unencountered options, undiscovered paths, and others we havenā€™t met yet.

MAKE
YOUR OWN
METRICS

09

Invent your own rules, your own tools, your own platforms, your own algorithms. And if you canā€™t, at least keep in mind that the most valuable things can never be counted.

TREASURE
TIME

10

We canā€™t cheat it nor hardly buy it and it may well be our most universal currency. Let us honor timeā€™s wisdom and pass down its lessons, cherishing memory and celebrating age.

PLAY
HYBRID

11

Multi-inter-intra-meta-multi-micro-macro-pre-post-poly-hybrid: give it a name if you must, but play with borders enough to enjoy something different while still feeling yourself.

SEED
CURIOSITY

12

No matter the issue, this one philosophy cannot sour or bitter. Grow understanding but bury prejudice. Glean serendipity and harvest empathy. Learn from fear and cultivate curiosity.
