Manifesto

Socio-Parasitology Manifesto 

 

The Socio-Parasitology Manifesto, works towards social change. The parasite manifesto works against the pejorative perspective, and biological predator-prey and parasite-host domination. There is a focus on the fluctuating of hierarchical levels - so to minimise the differences between parasite and host groups. Nothing is completed in isolation, all forms of contact are social. Materialising the positive aspects of a parasite, favours for catalysing social change. The focus is on the interruptive stage and the first act of contact made between a parasite and host coupling; as an activity which releases a productive change.

 

The parasite manifesto specifies, that one interruption must be completed every hour. Human beings and species relate to each other via interruption and forming contacts. Each contact made with an external host environment or host species, will generate some form of productive change. The positive parasite can be located at the point of interruption from the parasite onto the host environment. 

You need to interrupt in order to have agency. 

You need to interrupt to become positive.

You need to interrupt so you are parasitic.

 

With socio-parasitology you can produce active work and be able to hold dialogue. Without socio-parasitology, there is no productivity and only separated groups of parasites and hosts. Being parasitic, should be celebrated and is inevitably part of human nature. Parasitic behaviour runs parallel to human behaviour. The parasite manifesto can be treated as a mental apparatus for the social and global hosting environment, which lack productivity. 

 

The parasite manifesto regulates micro social interactions and looks to diagrams as learned information. Parasitic social change is positive because it is productive. Parasitic social change is positive because it is productive. Parasitic diagrams contain new methods for understanding problematic behaviour and solving problems. 

Social change arises from dialectical conversation - no work is produced in closed systems. 

 

There is a sense of urgency and a need for the body, to be in contact with the environment. There is a need for this parasite to form a connection with the external place, that the body is situated in.

Physical contact forms multitudes of interruptions onto the host body and machine. There is nothing outside of the open system, all relations are parasitic, scenarios and hierarchical differences must be brought to the surface as inevitable and occurring without a meta position. CONTACT! There is no meta position when you are looking for behavioural development. There is no meta position away from parasite-host relationships. All parasites rest on to, and in hosts. All points of contact are interruptions into the next vessel. 

 

An interruption is the most important part of an interaction. The interruption is the part between a parasite wanting to cause an effect, and the distant host body. The interruption is the part which produces a change. All interruptions are changes. All changes are productive. All contacts are interruptions. All contacts are parasites. All interruptions are parasites. All interruptions are positive parasites. This is a functioning model which exists and is active in current society. You should agree with there being a need for acceleration in social groups. You should agree there needs to be social changes made. You should agree there needs to be an investment into parasite-host social diagrams. 

 

The overall prominence of external and internal positions, can be accessed to give weight and aim towards a possible solution. Both ectoparasitic and endoparasitic perspectives will give a possible resolution. Withdrawal from ecology and culture does not exist. Withdrawal from an open system does not exist. Withdrawal from transcendence exists. Withdrawal from sensation through unconsciousness does exist - but this is not a meta position. There is no exit and nothing other than communications and multitudes, relations between things, protagonists, communicating vessels and species-interactions. To think of this as a critique on the perspective of working alone, thinking autonomously and behaving in an autologous manner is integral - as investing in reality and the environment we place ourselves in and migrate throughout; has a set of fluctuating hierarchies and attributes that explain there is only the possibility of living together and functioning collectively as a parasitic system that has no externalisation. 

 

The sense of agency is extended beyond the singular perspective, and can only be fully understood in couplings. If a circle meets itself and intersects, then the interaction is parasitic.* Interruptions come into contact with the second, and outwardly forms transformations that need maintenance to upkeep productivity, creating a new meaning through exchange. 

 

The positive parasite, is one which produces a space for productivity to happen, from the new change that is made. The parasite is a cyborg, a connector, a form of contact, an interruptions, a noise, a mask and a transformation. In all instances, the positive parasite is one which intercepts a host and is in a state of mobility. It is through the positive model of the parasite, a contribution towards social change can occur. 

 

You need to interrupt in order to have agency. 

You need to interrupt to become positive.

You need to interrupt so you are parasitic.

An interruption is the most important part of an interaction. The interruption is the part between a parasite wanting to cause an effect, and the distant host body. The interruption is the part which produces a change. All interruptions are changes. All changes are productive. All contacts are interruptions. All contacts are parasites. All interruptions are parasites. All interruptions are positive parasites. This is a functioning model which exists and is active in current society. You should agree with there being a need for acceleration in social groups. You should agree there needs to be social changes made. You should agree there needs to be an investment into parasite-host social diagrams. 

 

Being parasitic, should be celebrated and is inevitably part of human nature. Parasitic behaviour runs parallel to human behaviour. The focus is on the interruptive stage and the first act of contact made between a parasite and host coupling; as an activity which releases a productive change. The Parasite Manifesto, works towards social change. The parasite manifesto works against the pejorative perspective. If a circle meets itself and intersects, then the interaction is parasitic. Interruptions come into contact with the second, and outwardly forms transformations that need maintenance to upkeep productivity, creating a new meaning through exchange.
