The point of this website is to use this tool of psychological mass media to use the system against the system. We require your impressionable minds and susceptibility to make this work as planned. This is the beginning of a new cultural revolution. Remember, a thousand sticks make a pliable yet effective raft in the journey to enlightenment. What is enlightenment? "Enlightenment is man's leaving his self-caused immaturity. Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another. Such immaturity is self-caused if it is not caused by lack of intelligence, but by lack of determination and courage to use one's intelligence without being guided by another. Have the courage to use your own intelligence is therefore the motto of enlightenment. Through laziness and cowardess a large part of mankind even after nature has freed them from alien guidance, gladly remain immature. It is because of laziness and cowardess that it is so easy for others to usurp the role of guardians. It is so comfortable to be a minor. If I have a book which provides meaning for me, a pastor who has conscience for me, a doctor who will judge my diet, and so on, then I do not need to exert myself. I do not have any need to think; If I can pay, others will take over the tedious job for me. The guardians who have kindly undertaken the supervision will see to it that by far the largest part of mankind, including the entire, "Beautiful Sex," should consider the step into maturity, not only as difficult, but as very dangerous. After having made their domestic animals dumb and having carefully prevented these quiet creatures from daring to take any step beyond the lead strings to which they have fastened them, these guardians then show them the danger which threatens them should they attempt to walk alone. Now this danger is not really so very great; for they would presumably learn to walk after some stumbling. However, an example of this kind intimidates and frightens people out of all further attempts." Immanuel Kant 1784 |
