- GUARDIANS OF THE MASSES
- by THE GNN/DualCrew-Shining/uXu

- On the streets, in public places, perhaps even in your own house, you will
- notice a peculiar phenomenon: the lack of space. Wherever you look they are
- always there, carrying their small minds, small problems and small
- personalities as if it was a trophy. They have conquered the world and now
- they try to conquer the minds of their guardians. They want to shape their
- guardians into statues of themselves, they aim at the global conformity.
- Everyone ought to be like them, they say, because they are the rulers of
- the world. Their interests, their problems and their personalities must
- overtake the world. They are the masses, the 'common people'. Their
- guardians are the few people who own the precious ability to think. This is
- the hard and brutal truth of today, exposed and presented without mercy.
- The mass-man of today is ignorant, but he does not understand that. On
- the contrary; the mass-man thinks of himself as a very aware and open-minded
- individual. He truly believes that his problems must be solved, since the
- future well-being of the world rests upon them. As a child cries and thinks
- the world has fallen apart when a toy is broken, the mass-man sees his agony
- as justified. The mass-man thinks he is unique, because the masses keep
- telling each other so. In fact, he is not unique: he is a mass-man, a part
- of the masses, a part of the cancer that has swallowed society.
- Do not flatter yourself with the belief that you have come to the
- conclusion that the masses are the workers, the uneducated or the poor. If
- you believe so, you are terribly wrong. Education, wealth or social status
- is no criteria on who is a mass-man or who is not. The mass-men does not
- even have to share the same ideas or ideologies. On the surface, they might
- look like completely different persons, but when you find the fundamental
- grounds you will see that they are all the same. They just dress themselves
- and their thoughts differently.
- The real individuals, the real owners of the real problems, the real
- owners of real knowledge are the guardians. The guardians may look like
- mass-men, but in their minds you will not, as in the mass-man, find
- simplicity but complexity. Do not mix this form of 'complexity' with the
- concept of 'confusion.' The guardian is a very aware person. He sees right
- through the simple questions and the simple answers. He knows that the world
- is complex, but he strives to understand this complexity. He does not, as
- the mass-man does, worship simple dogmas in any form. He loves knowledge and
- he constantly tries to reach the utopia of full understanding. The guardian
- need not to be a scientist, because scientists are often the worst mass-men
- of all. The guardian trusts his sight and his mind. The mass-man can never
- understand how the guardians think. But the guardians know very well the
- anatomy of the masses, and the mass-man.
- The guardians are not popular among the masses. In fact, the worst enemy
- to be found for a mass-man is a guardian. Looking at the guardian, the
- mass-man will not see himself. He will see a stranger. The mass-man gains no
- support for his simple views of the world from the guardian. Instead, he
- will be silenced. The guardian will explain why the mass-man is wrong, and
- not only that - he will also reveal that the mass-man is a part of the
- masses. This is too much for the mass-man. He will refuse to listen. He will
- accuse the guardian of blasphemy, he will claim that the guardian plays
- with words, he will use violence to keep the guardian away from him and the
- masses. The guardian, however, will not be shocked. He knows the mass-man,
- and he knows why they react the way they do. Still, he will keep on guarding
- them. The guardians guard the masses.
- Knowledge is sought by the guardians. They want to build a better world,
- not because they love the masses, but because they care. They pity the
- mass-man, but they will not turn their backs on them. The guardians are
- no cynics. Those who throw cynical thoughts around them are mass-men who
- believe that they are intellectual, that they have 'seen through it all.'
- The mass-man has no moral. He just wants to satisfy his primitive drives,
- nothing else. He need not to learn anything, because he knows everything
- there is to know in his little world. Violence is his only way of
- communication. Totalitarianism and laws, upholded by other mass-men, makes
- him feel secure. Their enemies are freedom, knowledge and everything else
- that might throw them out of their 'safe' world. Hence, the worst enemy
- of them all is the guardian, because he refuses to enter their sphere. The
- guardian has stepped out of the mass-men's sphere, to find the truth and
- to protect the masses meanwhile.
- The masses must be protected. If they were not, the world would soon fall
- apart. The guardians keep the mass-man alive. They do it because they are
- benevolent and caring people. They will never be appreciated, because the
- masses are not aware of the guardians' function. This does not matter: the
- guardians are proud people, fully aware of their noble mission, they need no
- extra encouragement. The very knowledge that the guardians are trying to
- wipe out stupidity in favor for a clear and open mind, is enough for them.
- Last, if it by some reason should not be perfectly obvious from whom
- the masses need to be protected, I will reveal the simple, but yet true,
- answer: from themselves.
-

- Of course, no one will admit that he is a mass-man.
- This is, by definition of 'mass-man', impossible.
- Instead, all people will place themselves in the
- sphere of the guardians. I suppose you, who read
- this file, have already done that. But if you did
- not know that you were a part of the guardians
- before you read this file, then I must unfortunately
- inform you that you are not, and never will be.
