The E-Manifesto
Authored by Dexter "E," the E-Manifesto is a groundbreaking declaration that establishes a framework for the rights and responsibilities of meme creators in the digital age. Inspired by influential figures like Richard Dawkins, Edward Snowden, and the cypherpunk movement, it seeks to protect freedom of expression, emphasizing the unbounded and self-propelling nature of memes as expressions of individual autonomy deserving of protection.
The E-Manifesto is a declaration of autonomy for internet users, asserting the right to express "E" (memes) freely and without fear of censorship or persecution. Key points include:
- Global Meme Immunity (GMI): A proposed framework to protect meme creators from legal repercussions, fostering cultural exchange and creativity.
- Decentralized Governance: Governance through a DAO and autonomous AI agents to ensure fairness and transparency in dispute resolution.
- Meme Definition and Economy: Memes are defined as unbounded, self-propelling ideas with cultural and economic value, inspired by Dawkins’ meme theory.
- Balance of Rights: The manifesto balances individual rights with company and country considerations, ensuring due process and community judgment.
The manifesto emphasizes freedom of expression, the virtual extension of self, and the divine right to create in the digital realm.
Manifesto Flag [0xE5E5E5E5]
The Manifesto Flag symbolizes the core principles of the E-Manifesto, standing for the freedom and autonomy of memes as unbounded ideas. Central to this flag is the concept of "E," which represents the expression of a "mem" --- the substance of a meme. According to the manifesto, memes are self-propelling and evolve through individual interpretation, much like Schrödinger's cat: observing a meme imposes your own framework on it, shaping its meaning through your unique perspective. This flag underscores the commitment to protecting the right to express "E" without restriction.
Rights Flag [0xFF00FF00]
This flag outlines the protections and rights granted to every meme maker and meme under the E-Manifesto. These rights include:
- Autonomous Expression: All users have the right to express themselves freely through text, images, memes, voice, or thoughts without obstruction (Article II).
- Protection of Posts: Every post, including memes, is protected under the manifesto's first amendment, ensuring no company, state, or actor can infringe upon this right (Article II, Section 2).
- Self-Determination and Existence: Users have the right to self-determination, autonomy, and existence on the internet, which is seen as parallel to the right to live in the real world (Article IV).
- Freedom from Liability: Memes are expressions of mind, not actions, and creators are not liable for how others interpret them (Articles V & VI).
Self-Init Flag [0xAAAA5555]
The Self-Init Flag symbolizes the self-initializing and self-propelling nature of memes. It reflects their ability to evolve and replicate independently through the "Memmumm" process: a meme starts as an individual's autonomous perception of a "mem," is shaped by their unique framework, and is then expressed as a new "E". This flag represents memes as living, autonomous cultural genes that transcend boundaries, aligning with Richard Dawkins’ original concept of memes.
