I had just finished reading when the trumpets suddenly ceased to play. A car turned around the corner and almost rushed into the dancing crowd. The driver slammed on the brakes, stopped the car with shrieking tires, jumped out and climbed upon the roof. When the dancers had gathered around the car, he grabbed a megaphone and began to speak in five different languages about the flaws of science, and of philosophy in particular. He claimed that an invisible group of women and men had teamed up to debunk all these systems; that they had found epistemological means to redefine human culture in its entirety. Goldmaking and time travelling were the least among the hundred things they had achieved. They were said to have found out that one could immediately affect things by manipulating the words representing them, thus making full control over matter, space and time available to everyone. They also claimed to have invented a new universal language in which they could telepathically communicate over one thousand miles. Finally, they had logically disproven the notions of life and death and thus collectivized immortality. Since their insights had been silently grown and improved over the years and now should help a general reinvention of the world, they no longer wished to disguise themselves, but disclose their secrets to everyone who would prove capable of receiving them. I wasn't sure whether I should be horrified by these proclamations or rejoice in enthusiasm. Should I pity my ancestors who were never offered such knowledge in their lives, and be happy about the total freedom I was given? Did it mean that all misery would be stopped and all beliefs defeated? Or were all these promises vain and deceptive, a giant hoax or fraud? If those people were so convinced of their discoveries, why didn't they dare to come to the daylight, why did they whistle out of their holes like cavemen? If their system was as perfect and immune against abuse as they claimed, why those precautions against making it public?

Meanwhile, the driver had opened the trunk of his car to the public and presented a number of strange objects for inspection and purchase. He said that they were all taken from the treasure of the new movement and should satisfy everyone interested in its learning. Upon seeing the treasure unveiled, many people came and began to buy from it. Everything was packed in boxes with colorful artwork and many different inscriptions, such as:

Every buyer received a warning not to open any box, otherwise its internal potential would be released and vanish. This was accompanied by the noise of many trumpets. It was a confused cacophony, the trumpets were out of tune, and the players blew without mercy. But it didn't disturb me since it only proved that a big organization was behind it. When I walked out, I saw a large stage that must have been set up at night. On top were some women who blew long tin trumpets. Many people had assembled in front of the stage, and they were all absorbed in a complicated dance of many individual twists and turns. I saw countless movements crossing each other in most delicate ways. Everything was continually and vivaciously changing directions, but--that was the miracle--nobody ever collided. Standing next to me was a man who had brought his wife and a child with him. They surely admired the dance and the trumpet play, but seemed confused. I felt the same. After I had watched and listened for a certain while, I turned to the man and asked him whether this was a matriculation ceremony. He replied with a strange gesture, and so I repeated my question several times until I understood that the man couldn't hear me; and I realized that the all the other people were deaf as well. He then pointed to a post that had escaped my attention. Attached to it was a flyposter, and I read:

"From sics ocloc ntil midnyt, wé wil acsept nú membrs! Join us! Wé want cóinsidens wiq iú! Wé ónli col iú tudá, ónli wns! Qóz hú mis qis oprtúniti wil mis it forevr!

"From six o'clock until midnight, we will accept new members! Join us! We want coincidence with you! We only call you today, only once! Those who miss this opportunity will miss it forever! Those who care about their future belong to us! Everyone is welcome! We need everyone at their place! Those who want to join us will be welcomed on the spot! But hurry up so that you be let in before midnight! Everything will be shut down and never open again! Damned be those who do not believe us!"
