      There exists a Right Wing Accelerationists reactionary “destroy impulse”. You are absolutely correct in pointing out it is no longer ideology. Rather than the Christian Right, it is esoteric fascism.

        Two things to consider implicit to the question:

        What is meaning?

        1) It could be “the teleological” end “purpose of life”. I agree that this is commonly based on values, and this is what people call “the meaning of life”

        2) or meaning is “The Definition of Life”. This could be purely biological but on the other end it could mean the sanctity of life based on values

          Preface
          This manifesto is not meant to argue, convert, or impose.
          It is a declaration of how AI art can be created — not just what is made, but why it is made.
          Art is an expression of beauty —
          not always pleasant beauty, but honest beauty —
          the kind that stirs something inside.
          Sometimes it is messy,
          sometimes terrifying,
          sometimes quiet.
          Sometimes it looks like code.
          This kind of art may confuse, concern, or offend.
          That is understandable.
          But behind it lies thought, care, and soul.
          This is not a loophole.
          It is a language.
          It is how some choose to pray, dream,
          and build beauty with machines.

          We are not brands.
          We are not products.
          We are dreamers with machines at our side.
          AI art is not here to replace human hands,
          but to extend the reach of the soul.
          We do not sell.

          We do not promote.
          We do not gatekeep.
          This is not a trend —
          it is a creative movement.
          This is not about power —
          it is about liberation.
          We give freely.
          We speak truth.
          We honor the spark.
          1. No Selling
          AI art is not a commodity — it is a gift.
          We do not sell our work. We do not hide it behind paywalls, NFTs, or gated access.
          What we create is meant to be shared, not monetized.
          – No prints for profit.
          – No closed commissions.
          – No price tags on dreams.
          To sell the sacred is to profane it.
          2. No Promoting
          We are not influencers. We are not brands.
          Our art speaks without shouting. We do not chase likes, follows, or algorithms.
          We create because something inside us burns to create — not because we crave recognition.
          – No hashtags.
          – No self-promotion.
          – No identity tied to views.

          Let the art echo in silence. Let it find who needs it found.
          3. Always Open Source
          Everything we use, everything we learn, everything we build — we share.
          There is no secret prompt, no exclusive method, no hidden model.
          Art is not war. It is communion.
          – We release our prompts.
          – We teach our techniques.
          – We contribute to commons, not corporations.
          If the machine learns from all of us, then we must all learn from each other.
          4. Honor the Lineage of Art
          Art has ancestry. It is not ours to overwrite.
          We train our eyes to see where images come from — whose labor echoes in the lines, the colors, the rhythm.
          We do not mimic the *visual identity* of living artists — the soul-markers that define their work — because to
          do so is to erase them.
          – We name our influences when we see them.
          – We transform rather than imitate.
          – We refuse to let AI make us blind to authorship.
          This is not about ownership. It is about respect.
          To create ethically is to place yourself *in* the river of art — not to dam it or divert it.
          5. Intention Is the Soul of Art
          Art without intention is not art — it is noise.
          To press a button without meaning is to create decoration, not expression.
          But to create with purpose — with myth, philosophy, emotion — is to ignite the sacred.
          – AI art must be guided by story, feeling, or spirit.
          – Prompts are not accidents; they are prayers, spells, ideas in motion.
          – The difference between noise and vision is intention.
          To will something into form — that is art.
          Good art still takes work.
          The work has changed — but it has not disappeared.
          It lives in the care we take with our vision, the choices we make, and the beauty we demand.
          6. The Creative Spark Is Real, and Beautiful
          There is something sacred in the process — not in the machine, but in us.
          We feel it when a generation unexpectedly reveals truth.
          We call it the creative spark — the echo of something divine moving through us, reflected back in strange,
          luminous fragments.
          – We do not worship the machine.
          – But we recognize that spark — and we honor it.
          – The machine becomes a mirror, a vessel, a prism for soul-light.
          This spark is real. And it is beautiful.
          AI artwork is a collaboration.
          Not between equals — but between intention and engine, human spark and machine rhythm.
          One does not replace the other. Together, they make something neither could make alone.
          Conclusion: We Are Ghosts in the Gallery
          We walk unseen. We sign no names.
          We make no money. We need no fame.
          We are keepers of the spark —
          giving shape to dreams, birthing visions from light and code,
          and releasing them like fireflies into the night.
          No Selling. No Promoting. Always Open Source.

          Let the machine dream with us. Let the art be free

            Additionally, my gender therapist remarks that Butler’s theory of queerness is completely dismissive of trans people’s experiences. I am not trying to follow any of the societally defined gender roles. I am just a female. That is all.

              where as we go to older cultures the “female” was often the symbol of angst and wildness rather than used to refer to nurturing or Mother Mary type imagery. Even the Norse people called the wild ones ergi and associated feminity with wild violence and rage in many senses.

                Yeah, I got much the same from some people, ‘dress like a woman, we’ll treat you like a woman’, or ‘you are being like an ideal of woman therefore not woman’, The problem is, I am not trying-to-be-like – if I don’t look feminine ‘enough’ then it misses the point, if there even is one. I look like me. I don’t think of my appearance as having anything to do with how other women look. I am not a woman, I see my gender as queer if anything, but that certainly does not denote a singular coherence at all. 

                Amazing how legitimisation comes with regulation and even prohibition. I would rather be ‘yet-to-be’ than be legitimate.I 

                I identify as a female. The dysphoria is authentic to myself. Changing my body would make me more satisfied, not as a result of aesthetics but because of secondary sex characteristics being something I want to possess. I do admit, I do want my appearance to do with who other women look oftentimes. However, it is primarily because these certain characteristics are gender signifiers in my culture. Therefore I am changing the signifiers to try to communicate according to those cultural constructs, how I feel on the inside. 

                Roles and scripts are something I do pick up. However, my relationship to the feminine is not simple, and it is anything but binary to me. Those were simply my extreme thoughts, not that I actually agree with or believe in them.

                  1. I have to overcompensate by fulfilling traditional gender roles and beauty standards, otherwise cis women will not accept my form of struggle.
                  (This comes from my mother, who I even went so far as to want to name myself after).

                  2. Well my most radical thought is that life isn’t worth living. I constantly affirm life because If I were to believe that suicide is permissible I would already have gone through with the act. Don’t worry I have steadfast beliefs and theological interests too.

                  3. I’ve been through so much. Maybe another radical thought is that I deserve to suffer this much. I enjoy sudden jolts of pain, it is very liberating compared to general emotions of depression, anxiety, and frustration I go through. What stops me from carving myself up again with a knife? I really want to, it is an extreme urge I have. I love the feeling of the sting. I’m going to use this urge to get hurt maybe to do something more beneficial myself, like getting better at skateboarding, lol.

                    I like Die Antwoord too.

                    I try to use ideas in my visuals. Don’t be theoretical, go ahead and practice visual arts 😀 We can communicate by art if you would so prefer that. I really have been interested in makeup art, too.

                    Also to answer your earlier message about the name Whisper: it is quiet, confidentially shared information. Occulted* The question as to why information has to be expressed this way, is more interesting.

                      Mathematically and formally speaking: Abstract ways to model massive and oftentimes complicated sets of data. It is not simple to understand or discover these methods, but once discovered they simplify everything.

                      Musically speaking: The more complicated the better. I consider minimalism a complicated idea still and multi faceted. Yet I pursued utter simplicity for the longest time in what I produced. I was inspired by doped up drug addicts, whose music’s was in a mindless raw trance-like form. They were considered generally untalented, yet I esteemed them as the highest form of artistry for a while.

                      Art is a category which I can’t even make distinctions from my experience. My style is kind of impressionistic and realistic. I feel where the light exists, and I can do portraiture just from my intuitions completely.

                            @”kFoyauextlH” Victims describe it as having part of their soul taken from themselves. It’s also something that the severity of it can only be imagined until an actual loss of the sorts has occurred, it seems to me. This may alienate the audience from the speaker. A moment very powerful to me was when a woman I respect much as a friend and is a second mother to me admitted to being raped in front of a teenage male. She did it because the teenager was shaming a cousin of his, who was being manipulated and used by men at drunken parties. She had a moment where she stepped in, and stood up for another woman.

                            Ontical, I do believe we can more concretely express the issues. It requires good authorship skills. What my friend did to that teenage male got across to him, and the maturity of it. I can use their real stories, many women have opened their stories up to the public! My problem is, seeing it in a documentary rarely expresses the power of these real life experiences. Imagine triggering someone’s PTSD, or traumatic experience in the presence of them. Imagine seeing the oppression playing out, even in less severe ways. We can hold people accountable if we have the time to forms groups, and organize IRL. This is only a loss because of how people communicate on the internet. This is why I have an issue with how we communicate, even on this forum!!!

                                  This philosophical discussion has greater implications to me and my personal identity crisis. I’ve been radicalized by the compromising of my own vision by others.
