--- ###### tags: `manifesto` --- # Pluriverse Manifesto v1 We are citizens of the Pluriverse. We believe that change is possible and we are the best positioned to articulate it. This community is for seekers, visionaries, free thinkers, and radical feelers. We share our values through our creative output. Our lore is our law; our code is our bond. Pluriversal citizens avoid fast solutions and easy answers. We cultivate openness to divergent perspectives, patience before friction, holistic systems thinking, and an amorousness for dissensus and shared agony. The members of this community define themselves to each other. We are united by a common vision that commonality is provisional, tentative, and fleeting, therefore all the more precious. Our vibe is seriously absurd, dilligently imaginative, deterministically ethical, secularly moral, skeptically optimistic, and infinitely curious. We aspire to practice living (and dying) well during our limited time on Terra; with ourselves, with each other, with the land, with all human and non-human citizens. This community was formed in response to the perceived metacrisis threatening the well-being of the planet and its citizens. We are articulating and performing ontological pivots that might one day scale to global proportions. Success for our project means avoiding our collective self-destruction without resorting to dystopian solutionism. Our ideal community is perpetually in flux without ever skipping a beat. The folx of this planet have grown beyond the limits of their universal pronouncements. The world as we know it is ending. The pluriverse offers an emergent strategy for navigating the transition. We come together to share our knowledge and raise the sanity line for the whole. We are story tellers, myth weavers, string figurers, prognosticators and soothsayers. By rehabilitating our myths we demonstrate different ways of worlding. By realigning our narratives we perform new ways of inhabiting. Citizens of the pluriverse are deeply affected by the gestalt of perpetual change. Entropy is leveraged to cultivate renewed eye-hand-heart coordinations in order to scale to the collective. We hope to affect the hearts and minds of all that encounter our meditations. Our most ideosyncratic members work to disperse their gravity to the collective; our collective membership works to attract and absorb the momentum of the larger set and setting we are immersed in. We value challenging thought, provoking imagery, insightful theory, purposeful action, and artful paradoxes. We promote experimentation, venturing beyond comfort zones, and imaginative risk taking. We treat each other with profound respect. Securing a viable future begins with peer-to-peer coordination before scaling to the whole cosmos. We strive to engrain these values in everything that we craft. We are articulating the future, today. We are defining tomorrows possibilities, now. We are articulating a pluriverse of nuanced ontological design, starting with ourselves. Please join us on this infinite quest.
