Summary

This quote, written in German by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, translates to "Pleasure is a song of freedom - but it is not freedom." The quote suggests that while pleasure may give the illusion of freedom, it is not true freedom itself. It implies that indulging in simple pleasures, or seeking temporary happiness, does not equate to living a truly liberated life. Nietzsche emphasizes the need to pursue deeper forms of freedom and self-realization rather than being content with superficial satisfaction.

I like bats much better than bureaucrats. I live in the Mana

I like bats much better than bureaucrats. I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of Admin. The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid dens of crime that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern.
