Welcome to Wikifesto — where manifestos live, breathe, and evolve.

What Is This Place?[edit]

A manifesto is a declaration of intent. But intent evolves. Ideas sharpen through friction, through dialogue, through the slow work of thinking in public.

Traditional manifestos are frozen at publication. Wikifesto is different: each manifesto lives as a wiki, where:

Stubs become essays become movements
Every section can link to its own elaboration
Readers become contributors become co-authors
The manifesto grows with its community

The Manifestos[edit]

Braided Becoming — Identity is architecture, not archaeology
Against the Discovery of Self — You are not a hidden treasure waiting to be found

Philosophy[edit]

Philosophy should be done with passion, with gusto. Not locked in ivory towers, but alive in the streets—or at least, alive on the wiki.

The stub is not a failure of elaboration. It is an invitation.

+'''Welcome to Wikifesto''' — where manifestos live, breathe, and evolve.
-Hey. I'm Francisco Meyer.
+== What Is This Place? ==
-I'm not going to pretend I've got this all figured out. What I've got is fifteen years clean, a wife who stuck by me, three kids who call me Dad, and a past I can't erase. I used to run with a gang in East LA. I hurt people. I made choices I can't take back.
+A manifesto is a declaration of intent. But intent evolves. Ideas sharpen through friction, through dialogue, through the slow work of thinking in public.
-Forgiveness? Man, that's the hardest thing I've ever had to learn. Not getting forgiveness from others—that's up to them. I'm talking about forgiving yourself. Looking in the mirror and seeing someone worth saving.
+Traditional manifestos are frozen at publication. '''Wikifesto''' is different: each manifesto lives as a wiki, where:
-== Where to Start ==
+* ''Stubs'' become ''essays'' become ''movements''
+* Every section can link to its own elaboration
+* Readers become contributors become co-authors
+* The manifesto grows with its community
-'''If you're carrying guilt:'''
+== The Manifestos ==
-* [[The Weight Of Guilt]] — Yeah, it's heavy. Let's talk about it.
-* [[Living With Regret]] — You can't change what happened. Now what?
-* [[When Sorry Isn't Enough]] — Sometimes it isn't. Here's what else matters.
-'''If you've hurt people:'''
+* [[Braided Becoming]] — ''Identity is architecture, not archaeology''
-* [[Making Amends]] — It's not about making yourself feel better.
+* [[Against the Discovery of Self]] — ''You are not a hidden treasure waiting to be found''
-* [[When They Won't Forgive You]] — That's their right. Where does that leave you?
-* [[Facing What You Did]] — No excuses. No hiding.
-'''If you're starting over:'''
+== Philosophy ==
-* [[Second Chances]] — They're real. I'm proof.
-* [[Becoming Someone New]] — Not erasing who you were. Building on it.
-* [[Earning Trust Again]] — It takes time. A lot of time.
-'''If you're stuck:'''
+Philosophy should be done ''with passion, with gusto''. Not locked in ivory towers, but alive in the streets—or at least, alive on the wiki.
-* [[When You Can't Forgive Yourself]] — Sometimes that's where you are. Let's sit with it.
-* [[The Difference Between Guilt And Shame]] — One can help you. The other just destroys.
-* [[Moving Forward]] — Not moving on. Moving forward. There's a difference.
-== A Note on This Wiki ==
+The stub is not a failure of elaboration. It is an ''invitation''.
-I work with at-risk youth now in East LA. Kids who remind me of myself at their age—angry, lost, making bad choices because they don't see another way. I tell them my story because I want them to know: you're never too far gone to turn things around.

-But here's what nobody tells you about redemption: it's not a moment. It's not a decision you make once. It's every single day, choosing to be the person you want to become instead of the person you were.
-Forgiving yourself doesn't mean what you did was okay. It means you're choosing to live anyway. To do better. To be better.
-That's what this wiki is about.
