Manifesto of a Granular Ideologue

by tfurrows

Passing Thoughts of an Impractical Idealist

Our ancestors stood on the banks of the Euphrates and cast their ideas into the inexhaustible current. First they cast in words, ephemeral. Then they learned permanence; epochs brought clay tablets and papyrus, script and type, bits and clouds.

Permanence dammed the river, a logjam of ideas tossed in as if each was a consummate standard. Life-giving waters slowed, intelligence waned, the elastic mind seized and crumbled. The word manifesto dates to the fourteenth century, but the notion dates to our earliest written conclusions.

This is not the manifesto to end all manifestos. It is a message in a bottle that few will find. It is a loose model for dealing with the mountainous dam of manifestos that stop the flow of creativity, passion, and progress. At the risk of making the problem worse, I proffer:
