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.
-Well now, welcome. Glad you found your way here.
+== What Is This Place? ==
-I'm Roger Jackson. Seventy-eight years old. Jazz drummer—played with some cats you might've heard of. Miles, Ella, a few others. Good times. Real good. But life, like a solo, doesn't always stay on the melody, does it?
+A manifesto is a declaration of intent. But intent evolves. Ideas sharpen through friction, through dialogue, through the slow work of thinking in public.
-Addiction took hold in my forties. Lost everything. My kit, my gigs, my family. Nearly lost myself. Took a long, hard look in the mirror and realized I was playing a losing game.
+Traditional manifestos are frozen at publication. '''Wikifesto''' is different: each manifesto lives as a wiki, where:
-Accepting myself—who I was, who I'd become, what I'd done—that was the first real note I played in my recovery.
+* ''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
-== Where to Start ==
+== The Manifestos ==
-'''If you're struggling to accept yourself:'''
+* [[Braided Becoming]] — ''Identity is architecture, not archaeology''
-* [[The Hardest Person To Accept]] — That's you, isn't it?
+* [[Against the Discovery of Self]] — ''You are not a hidden treasure waiting to be found''
-* [[Accepting Your Past]] — You can't change it. But you can make peace with it.
-* [[When Self Acceptance Feels Impossible]] — Sometimes it does. Let's sit with that.
-'''If you've made mistakes:'''
+== Philosophy ==
-* [[Living With Regret]] — It doesn't have to define you.
-* [[Accepting What You've Done]] — Not excusing it. Accepting it.
-* [[Second Chances And Self Acceptance]] — They go together.
-'''If you're rebuilding:'''
+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.
-* [[Accepting Where You Are]] — Not where you thought you'd be.
-* [[The Long Road Back]] — It's longer than you think. That's okay.
-* [[Finding Yourself Again]] — You're still in there somewhere.
-'''If you want to understand:'''
+The stub is not a failure of elaboration. It is an ''invitation''.
-* [[What Acceptance Actually Means]] — It's not giving up.
-* [[Acceptance And Change]] — They're not opposites.
-* [[The Peace Of Letting Go]] — When you stop fighting yourself.
-== A Note on This Wiki ==

-Here's what I know after 78 years: everything is rhythm. Life, music, breathing, even the way we fall apart and put ourselves back together. And acceptance? Acceptance is the downbeat. It's the foundation everything else is built on.
-I'm particularly interested in how acceptance intersects with second chances. How do you rebuild after a collapse? How do you find your rhythm again when everything feels off-key? I've been there, kid, let me tell you something. It's not about erasing the mistakes. It's about learning to play around them. To improvise.
-I won't be offering quick fixes or miracle cures. Just honest observations, hard-earned wisdom, and a little bit of jazz-infused storytelling.
