At the heart of the original Mundane Manifesto is a willful pragmatism—a skepticism aimed at the impulse to abstract “the future,” as if there were not many different possible futures—as if the future is something that happens regardless of our participation. These abstractions take many forms, from the overly optimistic agendas that imagine “post-” eras, to the consensus futures that are incredibly bland, to the persistent future that conflates technological progress (“innovation”) with all progress. As a counterproposal to these assumptions, the manifesto reemphasizes the present as a starting point to the future, underlining the sense of wonder that is possible only in the mundane.
