Selftropy Manifesto

Design and science are equally important
Reality is systemic, inter-connected, and ever-changing, and it does not take place in a vacuum. Design methods produce solutions that reflect that. They are environment-sensitive, bio-responsive and non- destructive to both the human subject and the environment. Science, in an unnatural way, validates everything through experimental isolation. Equally valuable truths stem from both approaches; science just had the stage for longer.

The old renaissance man is dead. Long live the new renaissance human
The self is not a closed capsule but a shareable entity. Man, as the center of the universe, a subject against the infinite objectified world around, has an unsustainable future. Self-help, self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-knowledge are all inward-looking concepts that evolved from centuries-old self-centrism and were modelled on scientific isolationism. The new human is race-less, colour-less, sexually ambivalent, aware of the earth's perils and increasingly open to making systemic changes.

Cherish your creativity
Creativity is not a human trait we're merely using to improve our aging brain cells and expand our minds or build better living standards. It is a physiological mechanism that sustains life. It is the means to successful survival.
