Rhinoceroses
Someone in our network recently sent us Rhinoceros — an old play from the 1950s, which revolves around a small European town where everyone changes, one by one, into rhinoceroses.
Once changed, the rhinoceroses rampage through the town, causing destruction and chaos. Normal people are puzzled.. but soon enough becoming a rhinoceros becomes normalized.
Before long, it’s just the way things are. It becomes harder to remember a time when rhinoceroses weren’t a part of daily life.
Exactly the same thing is happening in America today. There are people around you who you’re now having trouble recognizing. The longer the game goes on, the harder it becomes to speak out and say what seems so obvious.
The only solution is to surround yourself with the people who respect your freedom and ability to think for yourself. The rhinoceroses will continue to cause chaos until then.

Quote of the Day:
The real community of man, in the midst of all the self-contradictory simulacra of community, is the community of those who seek the truth.
This, according to Plato, is the only real friendship, the only real common good. It is here that the contact people so desperately seek is to be found.
— Allan Bloom, Closing of the American Mind
