manifesto
for the future
CHOOSE
The future hasn’t happened yet. It should be a choice not an accident. And a responsible choice for that matter.
REJECT
The potential of the future depends on how violently we are prepared to re-evaluate and often reject our engrained past.
MUTATE
The future is a multitude of mutations, not an exercise in distribution of the products made by today’s monopolies on ideas, IP and influence.
Let’s learn more from biology and ecology than from capitalism and technology.
MIMIC
To create your preferable future ensure the use of diversity (in all meanings of that word) to trump individual ability.
DIVERSIFY
Re-imagine entire eco-systems, optimise them to remove frictions between players, the fragmentation of resource and waste of effort.
RE-IMAGINE
Align new networks around the purpose of your preferable future, design them for agility and adaptability, not for efficiency and predictability.
FOCUS
Time is the only thing we have. Keep your eye on the clues.
VALUE
Upgrade the human. We’re a post human generation. It’s time to mother nature.
MOTHER NATURE
Be weary of historical expertise, it will only show you how something has been done already. Observe. But create NEW knowledge.
CREATE
Critical, conceptual and speculative art should marry systems thinking, scenario prototyping and science. Future ideas are the children of both speculators and scientists.
INVENT
Earth is still our prison. Let’s make it a paradise we want to stay as long as possible, not somewhere we need to escape from.
