The first blog post is quite like a first impression. It also establishes a precedent for the entries that follow. Manifesto was created to fill a void in the blogosphere on ways to look at Asian Modernity. There are a good handful of Westerners both in the United States and abroad who diligently blog about Asia from a Western point of view. This blog will neither champion an Eastern nor a Western point of view, but perhaps a yet-to-be-invented third perspective that draws from past experience to construct a new philosophy. And perhaps that's not such a bad idea. By simply changing the act of looking at things as they are through the exchange of images, thoughts and ideas, we might just make the world a better place.
