Manifestos

Openness is still very much a choice, not a default. If it were a default, there would be no need for directions, ideological or not. Ideological efforts need rules, codes of conduct, manuals, bills, declarations, manifestos, often very precise and helpful, sometimes too dogmatic (‘wannabe blueprints’), sometimes agnostic, on occasion hilarious. Like the revolution of digitally sharing designs that can be executed all over the world just by pushing a button, wouldn’t it be super if a revolution manifesto took effect by default?
