As Plato knew, following Pythagorus, the Enlightened Ones are those who see the shadows on the wall for what they are. The revolution will not be televised. Every individual who drops out and makes tea is one more for our side. The happy idiots struggling for the legal tender believe the shadow play on the flat screen. We should do what we can to shake them out of their somnambulism, but we must accept the fact that most of manunkind grazes in what the great Ibn Khaldun called "the pasture of stupidity." We wish them well, but we must keep moving on. There's something happening here and Mr. Jones just doesn't know what it is. But Mr. Smith might. Or Ms. Khalil. And we must speak the truth to one and all. Disturb the sleep of the somnambulant, enter communion with the Awake. And, in this way, redeem the time.
