They're written from the point of view of being disillusioned, but bringing us back to hope. They're written to be almost like to challenge and provoke us to say to us, there is a new way. And these are what I'm saying. The new ways is what I believe. And it's not that. And so that's really the history and beauty of a manifesto is it asks the question, what do you believe? What do you feel?

What can be real? What can we imagine? And I believe we can freedom dream. We can imagine ourselves free. Imagination is our greatest tool because the world that we live in now was imagined and thought up by people. Some folks sat down, mostly white men, sat down and was like, What are we going to do? You know, what are we going to make? How are we going to create it? What could it look like?

What would it be? They sat down and invented and created this. And so we can imagine a new way. We can imagine a way, a new world and a new opportunity for us to be rooted in that liberation. It is a political tool. It is a social justice tool. People think imagination is just frivolous. It's a thing of children and you're daydreaming, you're wasting time. They want us to always be free.

locked up and focused on work, focused on production, focused on labor, but to be able to imagine and wonder, that's where the ideas for liberation come. And I keep telling people that we'll never be able to get to this world that we all want to see. A lot of people are now wanting to see a world filled with justice, wanting to see a world that's liberating.

How will we get there from an exhausted state? How will we get there from our minds being exhausted? Because the neurology and the biology of that tells me Our brains aren't even thinking in full capacity. Our brains aren't able to download new information. And what happens when we are exhausted? Sleep deprivation is a public health issue. We are not working in a way that our bodies could work.

And so to be exhausted is not going to be generative. It's not going to allow us to get to these imaginative, inventive, subversive, true things that we will need to move this culture towards one of freedom for all people. Mm-hmm. We just can't get there. You're not going to get there from being exhausted.

So to continue to be on the grind and to be working yourself like this and not giving space to rest will get us just more of the same.
