Manifesto

Culture needs to:

  1. Unite

    • In an increasingly globalized world, our cultural divisions are breaking down. In embracing our shared culture, we can ease into relationships each other.
  2. Be accessible to all
    • Racial, class and all sorts of divides should not stop people from learning more, from growing in education.
  3. Be inclusive
    • Learning is easier without any snootiness. With an open attitude, teaching and learning come fluidly.
  4. Empower
    • Before we can impact the world, we need awareness first. A knowledge of how we live is the first step to affecting lives.

How can 90 Seconds to Culture help?

My aim is to help you expand your cultural foundation. Some aspects of culture are so important that they come up in movies, books, music, and much more. The 90 Seconds to Culture podcasts and video casts help you learn these pillars of culture in a quick and entertaining way.

From there, you will become aware of different facets of culture and, hopefully, be more open when they come up later in your life.

Maybe you will be more interested the next time you see a black square on canvas as a painting.

Maybe you will be more open to someone’s sexual practices

Maybe you will feel more engaged when the news mentions the Dow Jones rising by 100 points.

Maybe you will change the world.

The Cultural Manifesto is clearly a leftist propaganda machine!

(Can we build such a machine? With lights and sounds?)

I’ve built one in my room already, it has a lot of federally funded MRI machines attached to it.
