Ship of Fools
The ship of fools is an old allegory, which has long been used in Western culture in literature and paintings. With a sense of self-criticism it describes the world and us humans on it as a vessel whose deranged passengers neither know nor care where they are going. Ships of Fools featured as wagons in medieval Carnival Parades.
