I like the angle in which we vaguely allude to the Discordian Society and keep our fingers crossed that the creative, electric people will do the rest of the work.
I hope that people go forward and keep building up the conspiracy, putting clues out there for others to find.
But meanwhile, for my part....
Part of what started this thread was a re-reading of the Black Iron Prison. And I really like the message here:
http://www.principiadiscordia.com/bip/6.phpWHAT THE HELL ARE YOU READING?
A lot of us don’t really have it in us to go to great lengths to disguise the message any more.
Some of us can string together some loose metaphors, but for many, at this point, it’s just not worth the effort to dress things up, or the risk that one might not understand the point that we are trying to make.
The time has come for people to start thinking for themselves. Towing other people’s lines and doing other peoples bidding has not worked so far.
In fact, it's getting hard to avoid noticing just how messy this place has become, and the situation seems urgent enough for us not to hold back.
We want people to think for themselves, and we deliver this message with no good intention to the way things are currently being done on this planet.
We don't want nothing else.
We don't want memberships and we don’t want telephone numbers. We don't want our audience's undivided attention and we won't make moves on their girl. We don't want our audience to sell things. We don't want them to attend our meetings. There is nothing to memorize, and we don't need anybody to take an oath.
It has come to our attention that not many people really know what it means to look after themselves on the planet earth in the year 2007.
Call it a support group for the freedom-impaired.
People have a really short attention span. It gets shorter every year. Even the most creative and self aware people on the planet have places to go, people to see, a thousand pages sitting on their reading list. I don't want waiting for others to put the puzzle pieces together. Maybe I just don't have a lot of faith that anybody will. That's why I want to be explicit, that's why I want to be really direct. These people are already popes, they just don't know it yet. I found the Principia through random chance. It shook me up in ways that I'm still trying to understand. I don't want people to miss the signal because we're only whispering it, or only whispering part of it. The more leads we put out there, the better.
