No More

"Monkey" is not just the latest derogatory slang to depict the modern holders of arbitrary and abusive authority who subjugate us through the routines and demands of work, lifestyle and entertainment. The essence of Freedom and Enslavement lies in the core notion that either concepts depend on a modulation of Free Will from high to low. The monkey sitting upon the worker's back bridling him by the tie, holding a gun in his other hand and wearing a crown upon his head shows the situation we are subjected to as we spend an entire life in the dull sleep of Free Will. For it is only when Free Will is abandoned that the Monkeys rule supreme - within and without.

Therefore, we have little to no excuse - for ultimately, it is merely because we refuse to wake up that we find ourselves driven like cattle. We think of the effort it would take to reconsider our lives, to re-evaluate our objectives, demolish our belief systems - and we push the moment of awakening further, to some indistinct future, trusting one Monkey to steer the wheel and another to administer us sedatives. And we drift in numb contentment, away, away... This print is step one to mutual recognition amongst awakened ones. You have identified the Power Pyramid for what it is, you know how it works, and the symbol of Monkey Riding Man says it all - wear it on your own back and let them all know: to friends, "I am amongst the number now". To enemies "I am aware". Enough is enough.
