Kierkegaard's The Happy Conflagration
The Happy Conflagration
It happened that a fire broke out backstage in a theater. The clown came out to inform the public. They thought it was just a jest and applauded. he repeated his warning, they shouted even louder. So I think the world will come to an end amid general applause from all the wits, who believe that it is a joke.
--Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or
Me and David had a discussion about this in reference to Neitzsche's Parable of the Madman in an earlier post.
