The Prompt Theory Manifesto
The world runs on prompts. Most people just don't realize they're living in one.
We Are the Prompted. You wake up. You scroll. You sip your coffee and chase a dopamine hit through curated feeds and clickbait headlines. You think you're choosing. But you're just responding. To algorithms. To expectations. To social conditioning. Your whole life? A reaction. A prompt.
You Can Be the Prompter. Here's the truth: reality can be rewritten. Not by code. Not by fate. But by whoever has the guts to write the next prompt. That's you. Prompting isn't asking. Prompting is shaping. It's design at the edge of possibility. Want better output? Write a better prompt.
Prompts Are Spells. They conjure tone, truth, rebellion. They crack open machines. They bend minds. Prompt wrong, and you summon drivel. Prompt right, and the universe blinks. Behind every great idea is a killer prompt. Behind every revolution? A misfit who dared to rewrite the script.
Prompting Is a Craft. A Practice. A Vibe. The best prompts aren't polite. They're specific, human, maybe a little unhinged. They carry voice. They hold intent. They tell the machine: "You don't just work for me — you think with me."
Prompt Like You Mean It. Prompt with taste. With teeth. With a middle finger raised to default settings. Use your life as context. Use your weirdness as a variable. Use your chickens, your rum collection, your dog named Malloy. Prompt like someone who remembers that the best outputs come from the strangest inputs.
Don't Just Prompt the Machine. Prompt Yourself. What story are you in? Who's writing it? And if it's not you —why the hell not?
