Acharya Prashant describes the world as a man-made madhouse where madness is a social mandate. In this environment, most people are pseudo-rebels who are agitated and violent, yet they continue to participate in and proliferate the very madness they claim to dislike. These individuals form cults, seek happiness in illusory relationships, and work industriously for worthless rewards, believing that their non-conformity or accumulation of 'stones' will lead to liberation. Their rebellion is superficial because it remains within the framework of the madhouse and its rules.
