What a thoughtful, inspired read! I’ve heard so many technophiles, ethicists and podcast pundits exploring this topic but this is the first critique I’ve seen through this lens. Thanks, Sara, for a unique and, alas, hopeful call to action, at just the moment I needed it!

Thank you, Mary Frances! I don't even know if it's a critique so much as a statement of possibility. I'd rather grow in a productive way with the machines than get subsumed.

A deep, wholehearted thank you for this Sara. It is, indeed, a manifesto. It is a call to turn our lens inward and sit with what burns, not so we will be consumed but so we emerge stronger, together.

Thank you, Donna. I am so curious to see what happens when we allow what wants to come through us to happen.

Bravo, Sara, for writing your manifesto. It's an easy concept but a hard writing assignment, especially the first one. For some, it is so clarifying and liberating that it changes their trajectory. That happened to Sia Papageorgiou when she did her first manifesto -- https://communicators.com/about-georgia/#real-sia

I've studied and collected manifestos for years and find that these two references help people understand what they are and how beneficial they can be: 1) Start with the original, the Cluetrain Manifesto - https://www.cluetrain.com/ Then give credit to Mike Vardy who in 2024 updated his list of 10 Insanely Inspirational Manifestos, https://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/10-awesome-inspirational-manifestos.html

I talked with poet Xochitl Julisa Bermejo about pleasure Activism with adrienne marie brown on our podcast, The Poetry Saloncast. It's fascinating. I want to learn more about it this year.
