A zoo of madness calls for creatures
willing to not want to question,
but embrace its madness.
Without these creatures the zoo
will risk failing to deliver its promise
of conformity to the madness that it is.
This promise is made to Society,
the master zoo of such zoos.
And it is made via various means.
These means are also a part of the same Society.
This implicitly entails, these various means are
also to all extent, a breeding ground of madness.
For madness can only be fueled by madness.
But more on such means in a while.
Let us first shine some more light on zoos.
Let us begin with a very crucial caveat...
While a zoo is a collection of creatures,
not all collection of creatures are zoos.
One thing separates a collection of otherwise
sane creatures not maddened to the point of
fully embracing madness for its own sake.
And that thing is...
...the size of the collection.
So a zoo can be of any size.
But a collection of creatures can only be deemed a zoo
once it crosses a certain threshold.
Today, there is no set threshold.
But things can be expressed probabilistically.
It is almost guaranteed that a collection of
about 100 or more creatures is a zoo,
and any sanity in that collection will soon disappear.
Either because of the few sane creatures leaving voluntarily or
them getting evicted because of the "madness" they will appear to the madness.
It is safe to say that any collection of
fewer than 50-75 creatures is less likely to be a zoo,
and any slippage towards madness will be detected early,
and controlled or kept in check by the mostly sane collective.
But such measures of control will have to become a norm.
It is almost certain that if the size
of the collection is less than 20-25,
the "collective maddening symptom"
is almost completely evaded.
Now let us get to the means via which
a zoo, first promises to maintain the madness which it is,
and then maintains that promise to Society.
These means, once again, are many.
The obvious ones are other zoos!
The unobvious ones are collections that are not yet a zoo,
but have given in to the enticing pulls and promises of becoming one.
Other such means can range
from the individual "powerful" creatures
maddened beyond repair (completely gone berserk),
to the master zoo itself - Society.
If one replaces the labels of "madness" with "lies",
"creatures" with "humans",
and that of "zoo" with
"company" or "business" or "institution" or "community",
this post will reveal its truer colors,
and the main intent of the writer.
If one is more insistent about getting to the root,
they will have to go a level deeper.
They will have to further replace "lies" with "minds",
and "company" or "business" or "institution" or "community"
with "society".
And then this post will reveal its truest color -
of Truth.
Thank you.
