This clicks through to the strangest thing I have read today. The Hackers image is just for 90’s nostalgia.
I find manifestos to be pretty fascinating. To write one is an act of really putting yourself out there. I have a hard time picturing most people making plain statements about their beliefs, or establishing an ethos that they then make themselves publicly accountable for.

Everyday life in Japan’s Edo Period would today be known as a recycling society. They didn’t just recycle to reduce garbage; they had a mentality of valuing things and completely using everything up. For those of us who live in Japan’s disposable society of today, there might be a lot of things we can learn from the Edo Period recycling mentality.

Despite the fact I am constantly annoyed with the hassle of involved in doing the recycling in this country, I find it charming that this is actually part of a long history of reusing and re-purposing.
