After scrapping a short essay I wrote about changes in china in the 21st century, I went back to the drawing board to generate some more manifesto ideas. I came across a few ideas based on different design principles and then eventually remembered something I read: Carpe Diem. Seize the Day.
I set about writing a manifesto based on a new thought movement: NOWism. It's all about living in the now, not worrying too much and being productive. Of course a bonus is that it fits pretty well into Modernity, so it's the perfect match for me.
