Notes Toward a Future Manifesto
-We are urban. We live and dream in a cacophany of space which only
the city may provide. We will break the shackles of economic
neccesity which link our beautiful polises to the vulgarity of the
suburbs and farms. Within the framework of worker's power, the
city-as-commune is our chosen political form.
-We fearlessly embrace technology as a liberatory force. We will
explore the very limits of humanity's ability to shape its
environment. With a radical hope we will incribe freedom onto matter
with our glorious new tools.
-We assign no subjectivity to Nature. Such psuedo-religious
mystification is the cage of fearful minds. "wild" is a word we put
on a party flyer. It is otherwise meaningless.
-Beauty is greatest in the designed and useful object or space.
Interaction, efficiency and utility fuse to make the most beautiful
of mankinds creations, the bicycle. Elegantly grafting the body to
the streets of the City. With it we see how freedom can be innate in
design, not merely a later inscription. It is a freedom machine. The
first amongst many.
-Of the primitivist confusion we have no tolerance.
-We are atheists. No designer would create a universe in so much need
of our correction.
-Post-scarcity is here.
-We eschew the eschatological fetish. There will be no collapse unless
we allow it. As a species we are indestructable, if we choose it.
-Death is nothing more than a design challenge.
-We abandon all idealogy in favor of reckless hope.
