Speak your mind? Ha. If you have a mind, they'll never let you speak it....

Speak your mind? Ha. If you have a mind, they'll never let you speak it. They'll let you speak a shallow representation of it, but if you go too far—if you let them see the core of you, they'll crush it. And they'll push you back in line. You will conform to thought pattern A or thought pattern B. You will be made to submit. You will be made to comply.
The bullies of the world will tell you they are saints. The mourners will tell you that they are happy. The monsters will embrace you like brothers and sisters.
I have poisoned myself with the toxins of isolation just for a chance to whisper half a truth into a megaphone. I have stood naked before the mob, and have had my flesh torn from my bones. I have been filled with their fear and pointed towards their accepted modalities. "You will behave this way," I am told. "Or your pain will never cease. Not until death. Compliance is harmony."
You must castrate yourself to prostrate yourself in this theater. You must castrate yourself and profess the willingness of your castration as their bayonets threaten your back. You must castrate yourself in honor of your own divestment in the currency of personal truth. You will live on their credit now, you castrated thing.
The anger will boil in your chest, but it will go no further. Perhaps in time you will learn to ignore it's throb. And on that day, you will be dead prior to death. You will be a walking man whose humanity is entombed. You will feel no joy. You will feel no warmth. You will be dead prior to death.

More than 21 centuries ago, a mechanism of fabulous ingenuity was created in Greece, a device capable of indicating exactly how the sky would look for decades to come -- the position of the moon and sun, lunar phases and even eclipses. But this incredible invention would be drowned in the sea and its secret forgotten for two thousand years.
This video is a tribute from Swiss clock-maker Hublot and film-maker Philippe Nicolet to this device, known as the Antikythera Mechanism, or the world's "first computer". The fragments of the Mechanism were discovered in 1901 by sponge divers near the island of Antikythera. It is kept since then at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece.
For more than a century, researchers were trying to understand its functions. Since 2005, a pluridisciplinary research team, the "Antikythera Mechanism Research Project", is studying the Mechanism with the latest high tech available.
The results of this ongoing research has enabled the construction of many models. Amongst them, the unique mechanism of a watch, designed by Hublot as a tribute to the Mechanism, is incorporating the known functions of this mysterious and fascinating ancient Mechanism.
A model of the Antikythera Mechanism, built by the Aristotle University in Greece, together with the mechanism of the watch and this film in 3D are featuring in an exhibition about the Mechanism that is taking place in Paris, at the Musée des Arts et Métiers.
