Last night (May 31) there was another gathering of the nameless discussion club, named "Undefinables". The gathering resulted in a joyous conclusion!
During this gathering we discussed the six problems we've defined so far (see e-mail of April 19), which resulted in the making of the beginning of a manifesto! We decided that the first part of this manifesto will consist of a statement of the things about current society that we want to see changed. I propose that the second part will hold possible solutions to the defined problems, presented in the form of a utopia, and that the third part will then consist of a set of action goals.
Writing the first part of our manifesto marks conclusion of the first goal of our discussion group, which was to identify concrete societal problems. Now that these societal problems have been identified, we can proceed the next phase of the discussion. This consists of creating possible solutions, which will then later be added to the manifesto. First, however, we need to agree on the concept manifesto that is currently being worked on, after it is done.
Remember what each of us has gained so far since the start of this discussion club:
- Knowledge
- A better understanding of today's society
- The opportunity to discuss our ideas with others
Also remember what we can still gain:
- An alternative for the future that each of us believes in
- We can bring other people together to share our idea of the future and actually change something
