For those interested in speculative manifestos, I give you the manifesto of the International Necronautical Society;
http://necronauts.net/manifestos/1999_times_manifesto.html http://necronauts.net/manifestos/1999_times_manifesto.html
Key points:
- Death as Space: The manifesto asserts that "death is a type of space, which we intend to map, enter, colonise and, eventually, inhabit."
- Beauty and Death: It posits that there is no beauty without the presence of death, emphasizing its immanence in life.
Of TFA, I love its spirit. Speculative thinkers are easy to deride, and are guaranteed to be more likely wrong than right. However, I believe that speculation has an important function: to map the fuzzy bounds of a domain.
