The Futurist Manifesto

I have mixed feelings on the article. Some of their reasons for rebelling I can somewhat agree with but, their way of going about it is completely wrong. There is ways for making things happen and their way, is not the smartest in my opinion.

1st of all, What is up with all of the "destroying museums and libraries"? (erasing the past) You shouldn't have to destroy the past to make a future. You always should have your past to remind you of how you got to the present and to help you determine how you want to shape your future.

Next, the people that are leading this seem like very "Interesting " people. They are the who I like to call the " ride or die " friend. The person that is down for whatever .Everyone has one. That person that you can call at anytime and they will drop whatever their doing and be there. Most of the time you call them when some sort of conflict is happening. They are usually very outspoken and fearless. In other words, in a confrontation you want them on YOUR side !  Anyway this person usually act on emotions. Which is great at times but you also have to THINK . Every action has a re-action. And in their explanations they kept saying what they were "going to do " but , they never said what was going to happen next. That is when  the danger comes. When acting on the now emotions you don't think of the later effects.  SO, while they right now have plans, they really haven't thought past the present day. Which is kind of funny saying that they are "Futurist's". ;)

Anyway , I think their motives are right . There saying it's "Time For A Change". They want to "Break The Mode" , Think Outside The Box" . They want to stop letting traditions and habits or "What Always Happen" or " It's The Way We Do Things " be the building points for their futures.
