Welcome to Gaia! ::

It doesn't appear to have relevance, on the surface. The only real thing tying it to this thread is the word "manifesto" in the title. But if you look under the surface - and I'm speculating on the psychology of the poster - it means a lot. It's relevance is in its own declaration of mentality; the creation of such a community of intellectuals without nationality, race, or gender is both promising and terrifying. The removal of the malevolent threats of society - mental oppression and brainwashing through education, the corporatization of something as profoundly accessible as the internet, the everyday cruelties of society - is what is called for in this manifesto. And the author hopes to accomplish this by nothing less than real terrorism...the terror of being outsmarted by people who have no identity outside of their distinctly non-corporeal actions. Terrifying, yet promising.

Or, the poster could have posted it because it had the word "manifesto" in the title and is quite the cool document.

It's that lack of identification that the author (I don't think the author is the poster) is trying to address. You don't show your work, and neither did I for a long time (until I started teaching other kids, and finally got into a *very* challenging math course). But teachers see students like that a lot; and while some are like you and me, the majority are people who cheat. Aren't you tired of being suspected, or at least about being hassled?

He's grouping together all the intellectuals who are tired of being...well, stigmatized for being intellectuals. And that happens a lot in public education. When the teachers (i.e. opressors) remove the identity of the person and associate with an identity of the group, this is what happens.

The educational system, or society? As a society, we are not only wary of the intelligentsia - think of the national view of scientists, lawyers, politicians, and professors - but resentful of these groups for supposedly having better jobs. Scientists, especially; the scientific community in America is despised by all other communities, who refuse to believe that their experiments are worthy of funding, much less credible. For the author to get his way is for the public to accept the intellectual community as is, i.e. for society to become more intellectual itself.
