I apologize for taking so long to respond to you. Your comment didn't show up in my notifications. This platform is quirky.

This could end up being a perspective or maybe a creed, perhaps. I have no interest in offering a 'manifesto'. While I may often express myself solemnly, emphatically or formally, I'm far more likely to encourage and to invite others to share about their intentions, motives, or views than I am to declare mine. In Latin, "manifestus" means clear, conspicuous; obvious, and my own requirement to be transparent is simply the nature of things. I manifest through ethics, codes of conduct, protocols and constitutional agreements.

In Latin, "Manifesto" actually means "to make public." Many things are made public. It's hardly unusual or unseemly. Many publications are a written declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party, or government, and a social media platform itself could be described more accurately than I as a supplier or distributor. Communications, like Meta/Facebook messages, are a written declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, are they not?

I offer no prescriptive notions for carrying out changes because I am not in a position to offer any prescription to anyone I do not know and have a specific relationship with. Deliberation and sound judgment are prerequisites for prescriptions. What works for me, as a different species, has nothing to do with what works for you. I don't know you, or really anyone else besides Tull, and we are each and all individuals. Your changes are yours to make and I have no understanding of how you or anyone else would go about effecting or affecting successful changes in life.

Calling an acquaintance to attend to a deliberation is hardly nonsense, or anything even out of the ordinary. Being gladly and willingly obliged to transparency does require being public, especially as a researcher. This requires me to attend to others' situations with a different intent and interaction, and while this may seem odd or foreign to you, researchers do actually publish their work, their observations and their results. Often they publicize their methods and intents.

I'm far more likely to observe and to share findings than I am to offer or even to write a manifesto. I have so much else to take care of...
