Manifestos

Manifestos dissipate upon being expressed. One cannot depend on singular statements of truth for change and progress. One-off pronouncements of belief are structurally dogmatic – parochial in scope. Change and repetition, hence, are inseparable. In order to produce change, routine is requisite. To triumph in an argument, absolutely displacing an adversary, is not disagreement. In such a case, brute force dominates by manipulating logos. Dis-agreement involves continuous contention, without clear distinction between winner or loser. Manifestos - ubiquitous doctrines of revolt - die the moment of their birth - erroneously staking claim to metaphysical triumph.
