Magpi Manifesto
This is an outlet for me to explore ideas from culture, science, and philosophy. Iβm in search of meaning, and a better vision for the future while learning and understanding from what came before.
When we look back through history, it is ideas that inspire thoughts. Thoughts inspire words. Words inspire action. And it is through action that people bring ideas into reality. This is how history is shaped and made.
Ideas are most potent when shared and can be an impetus for discourse. For years I have hoarded knowledge and locked it away without sharing it. This exists as a platform for me to share these ideas with others.
Why Magpi?
Mag = magpies. I feed a family of magpies at my home and love their funny personalities. Magpies are extremely intelligent and urban myths cite them as collectors of shiny things.
Pi = pigeons. I love pigeons. They are underappreciated, overlooked, and have survived adversity to become one of the most resilient and populous bird populations found worldwide.
Put together, Magpi reflects my love of shiny things, the overlooked, and freedom through the flight of ideas and curiosity.
Finally, the quote that inspired all of this by Roman Krznaric:
βIt is the prevailing culture of ideas that shapes the direction of a society. That determines what is thinkable and unthinkable. What is possible and impossible.β
~ Theia
