A Manifesto is the brainchild of Eric Jarosinski, the self-described “failed highbrow” in the back of the highly renowned @NeinQuarterly, a “Compendium of Utopian Negation” that makes use of the aphoristic capability of Twitter to plumb the existential abyss of contemporary life—and unearths it bottomless.
