(Josh Billings, 1919) Ignorance rules the world and everybody enjoys it. If you do not need to think, then global problems will be replaced with small, worthless, but yet easy ones. The population in the free west believes that they have came so far concerning something they refer to as 'progress' that they need not to use their brains anymore. In a sense, that is rather good. Because if the ignorant population suddenly became aware of their present situation, chaos would break lose. A trapped bird feels free as long as you do not open the door to the cage. If you do that, and the bird escapes, it will feel free for a few moments before it is slaughtered by the wild animals in what could be called 'the real world.' This text deals with the phenomenon 'freedom in a cage.' Most people live in a cage and do not want to get out. Once you have tasted really real freedom, you cannot go back to the trapped state again and feel good. No one could force herself to such advanced self-deception. But the life in the cage is a secure life. It contains no dangers, but it contains no adventures either. It contains easy obstacles, even though the ignorant people believes the obstacles in there are 'a part of the hard reality.' There is no such thing as 'reality' in the cage. The reality that the trapped experiences is a false view of the world. So, what kind of 'reality' do the people in the cage see? They see something that is like a television show, written and directed by themselves. In that show, so-called 'everyday' problems are in focus; Get a 'good' education, find a 'good job', then die in peace. Three obstacles, all of them without meaning in the real reality. Of course, the people in the cage see such things as 'global' problems too. But they are wrong when they think that those 'problems' are the real global problems. The people in the cage wonders, for example, "How can we end this war?" while the people outside the cage, who looks at the people in the cage, thinks "Look, now they are fighting in the cage again." When you take life seriously, you do not take it seriously. Mutatis mutandis; when you do not take life seriously, you take it seriously. Because then you have understood more than most people. All people who walks around and talks about how they are 'taking life serious' in 'the hard reality' are misguided. They are ignorant, on the border to stupid. They will never develop their minds, because they are trapped forever in the cage. There is just one exit. Some people are able to find it, some are not. Some are lucky, and some are not. It is as easy as that. As said, it is better if most people remains in the cage. The cage ought to be filled to the limit with ignorant people, it ought always to be on the limit of exploding. This is because most people would not be able to handle the reality outside the cage. They would feel disorientated, strange and confused. All 'secure' platforms would be gone, and suddenly they would be forced to think for themselves. That would not be possible, so the confused ones would go insane and desperately try to find a way back to the cage. But there is no way back, so they would try to exterminate everybody outside the cage, so they would, together with the remaining fools, be able to construct yet another 'secure' cage which they could climb into. A mission that is doomed to fail. If the ignorant masses stepped out of the cage, the world would fall apart and there would be no more cage, just chaos. You are nothing, you can do nothing, you will never be someone in the cage. You will be like everybody else. Naturally, that is how things _are_ - not how you are _experiencing_ these things: You believe that you are something, that you are special. But that is not true. You are like everybody else. You feel misunderstood, you feel that people do not understand you, nor your so-called 'talents.' You believe that you will change the world somehow. But the world cannot be changed from within the cage. That is the hard truth, but you will deny it. If you did not, you would lose your personal meaning of life, and that is the worst thing that could happen to a human being. I know some people wants to know how to get out of the cage. But by merely asking that question, you have lost all your chances of getting out. You will walk around, wearing sunglasses on a cloudy night, believing that you are open-minded and clear-sighted. That is nothing to be ashamed of. The people outside the cage will appreciate you, as a house appreciates its rusty nails. In fact, you ought to remain the cage. There you will feel free, without the need for thinking. The rest of us, however, will never return. Do not expect us to come back to rescue you, because the real reality is much harder, in the intellectual sense, than you think. Lean back, enjoy the fantasies that pops into your ignorant mind, because the real reality is not easy to cope with.
