In cage happiness

I entered that field early on, which actually only very much later sparked a broadly unimagined impact. And with the loss of my documents disappeared so many details of my very first years. But I will never forget, what from the very start motivated me in my work and under which circumstances I actually began, about our fellow species, but this expression is also wrong, they are not even the closest relatives, I simply called them “brothers and sisters“, to research precisely about just these primates. The behaviour of "monkeys", an extremely brutal, contemptuous expression, characterized by ignorance, which is actually based on intellectual colonialism, of precisely those living beings, we had called them far too long and actually completely unjustified as so-called "humans". So I devoted my full attention early on, worked with dedication and deep sympathy, instead of just calculating their behaviour coldly, but always ruthlessly compared them in almost all areas that seemed conceivable to me at all - often terribly taboo areas - with those beings who strutted around the earth in such an arrogant way, in far too many numbers, who presumptuously and rising above everything, still used the upright walk.

Whereas the expression “comparison” has always seemed to me very antiquated, basically discriminatory. Was it not it completely contrived, shaped by the "intellectual colonialism" that always only wanted to control, order, and ultimately dominate? That is why I was one of the first to emphasize, what we have in common, what connects us so much! Therefore I fought very early on to break these divisions. But at the beginning I was terribly alone, in a strong contrast to the survived research; a dark science, indeed a powerful machine of oppression, which was actually inhibited by nothing at all, that only tried to emphasize these parting again and again. In the meantime, however, the world knows the unvarnished truth! There is no difference at all! On the contrary, everything speaks for the "monkeys"! So found my collaborators very early parameters, that prove it: On the one hand hormonal factors, on the other they are the results of extensive measurements of various brain waves, that clearly state, that monkeys are extremely capable of experiencing much larger, even more intense moments of happiness. From a purely pathological point of view, they don't even have any depression! The sufferings of conscience, the horrors of responsibility, this leaden millstone of human tribulation and suffering, it is spared to them completely. They still know natural fun, living into the day, can develop their instincts completely freely regardless of "customs", and any "tradition", completely meaningless "norms", such as long-outmoded "forms". They can only be envied for that! So there was no choice for me. Although I now find my actions almost a bit strange, at that time I decided with a happy heart to give up every distance in research immediate, to finally tear down the last borders between us!

In my early days, I have to admit this with shame, the contact between us remained very formal, even too superficial. But slowly I took courage! So I gradually gave my friends, my loved ones, of course, personal names, called them Mandy, Barbara, and soon invented names in the affectionate form, and over time I carefully examined one or the other female. And through our daily dealings changed my taste as well: the pronounced cheekbones, the protruding mouth, - probably a memory of our common ancestors, who probably had a "fish mouth" at some point - and also the strongly turned lips, which are like this on both sides very bent forehead, soon began to appear very attractive to me. And it was then the strong body hair that stimulated my senses.

A love affair with a gorilla beauty is something special, that is difficult to describe. But wasn't it really a miracle? However, I have to say. that from the beginning I preferred the pretty orange-utan girls by far. Of course, this was still terribly taboo in society. It would take years before tolerance and a certain “normality” finally took hold. And marriage between us was a little unusual for a long time, even frowned upon by many. In the meantime, however, a great deal has been done to completely abolish that institution. Marriage, it doesn't fit in with our time! And was it not created entirely from a human perspective, that was the poor "monkey" just forced on again? Wherever remnants of that “mental colonialism” remained, I fought them most resolutely.

There is also something else, but for me it is very important: As a born idealist, I committed myself very early to the struggle for a better world, after all I wanted nothing but peace! And didn't we live in a time of unconditional change? In the meantime, the causes of the wars, all this suffering on earth, the uprisings and revolutions, massacres and bloodbaths, civil wars and world fires were clearly recognized. Wasn't it entirely because of human freedom? And where was she most clearly speaking? First of all in human art! Anyone who, like a Prometheus, measures himself against the gods, terribly "stages" himself, is in the end even able to create an "own" picture of himself, does he not often pull much too easy into the field of war? Isn't he also ready to fight terribly for any "idea", every possible illusion, even imagined delusion? Wasn't that the reason for all that evil, the abyss of human disgrace only in its intelligence, the imagined "creative power", the root and the basic evil, namely its talent to think "reasonably"?

But very soon this struggle for peace received a broad support. We had always understood our program to be "practical", setting ourselves no less goal than promoting the natural happiness of all people as much as possible. For factual reasons, we only called them "minus units". So our work was basically “applied humanism”. The personal happiness of each unit was the absolute guideline for us! You have to look at things matter-of-factly. So the question was: How can you promote happiness as far as possible? The answer can only be: By generally lowering the intelligence of all minus units!

I can tell you that much: To such an extent, that we hardly dared to hope, that program was a tremendous success! There were still unwanted "slips" here and there, too high quotients of intelligence. We just had to act quickly! So we became active, practically making sure that something like that, in every minus unit, ideally in the womb, was released as humanly as possible. Fortunately, I managed early on to convince all of my collaborates to completely live without own children. They much rather adopted a cute monkey child and looked after it very lovingly.

But this is not the place for sentimental emotions. Something like that remains at most marginal note. Where wood is chopped, splinters must fall! So I soon moved into the cage with them hundred percent voluntarily. I can proudly say: Never in history has a cage been built from the inside! And more and more minus units followed our example, they moved to our cage. This was probably the crucial part of our program, the struggle for a peaceful world! So we come to the point at which I can only report from the inside of our cage.

And that's why you have to look at things completely without illusions. We are also happy to make sacrifices for the highest ideals! First of all you have to fight the basic evil, the upright walk! How many found it so difficult! Walking on all fours, just crawling on earth, just crawling on it, did not seem to be very desirable to some; in the end even painful, yes, a real torture. And whoever, after a transition period, we were always very generous in it, still could not afford to do it, possibly not at all, an incurable upright, we have always found a humane solution for him.

And yet there were still some, who didn't want to deal exclusively with their instincts, were absolutely not prepared to live from moment to moment, only for their sex, to finally see themselves as a mayfly, as an absolute coincidence. There were even some who were actually so insolent, imagined that they still needed some highly talkative "identity". Finally, to change the taste even of those terribly stubborn, it wasn't that difficult for us! While we were never at a loss for ideas, the kid gloves, which mostly looked quite holey, took we off with great joy and reached into the old bag of tricks of the most unorthodox methods.

We simply got them to watch our program, yes, our films every day, actually without ceasing, hour by hour, and they made them addicted. We had always designed our program as brutally as possible, for pure "entertainment" purpose with pretty female monkeys, of course also such males, purely pornographic. We used up the last resources that we still had. After all, it all happened for such a high ideal, the struggle for a peaceful world!

And to anticipate the result, that struggle for peace was granted the greatest success! War has become impossible. There is no production at all, not the slightest industry, not even agriculture. The manufacture of metal for any weapon has completely stopped. The small hordes live in huge nature parks, extensive protected areas, but with their limited capabilities they are actually completely free. You don't have to worry about them. They are still very well protected, and their existence is by no means threatened.
