What does discordia mean to you

[P3nT4gR4m]

What does discordia mean to you?

It's a way of seeing or aspiring to see things as they are and not as they appear or are portrayed. It's a support network where we help each other up on those inevitable occasions when we're acting like monkeys. Discordia is stripping away the bullshit and enjoying chaos for the spectacle it is

Were there aspects of it that first appealed to you but no longer do?

Jakes

What new ideas can we bring to discordia?

New ways or techniques for developing meta-consciousness, reinforcing critical thinking, etc...

New things to laugh at. A big part of discordia for me is laughing at the world, the complete shambles that is human civilisation. Discordians are people who get the joke

Dingo, RWHN and Pent, I'll let your posts settle in for a bit, and post my thoughts on them in a while.

Ok, Discordia means grundles to you. But thanks for bumping the thread nonetheless.

Discordianism is a crowbar.

It can pull apart damn near anything if you find the right spot to wedge it in and apply enough force.

No matter how much you try to rationalize it away, it's still a big piece of metal that functions much like a barstool in certain situations.

It's not the right tool for EVERY job, but you probably want to have it on hand at all times. Just in case.

Fuck yeah. I like that a lot. I'm going to use that in my evangelizing, such as it is.

For me it's that, and it's most certainly the barstool, but it's also the active and enthusiastic enjoyment of those things.

When you feel the weight of a barstool in your hands and you know that, sure, people can fuck with you, but they're going to lose an eye, that's when I feel Eris's horrible love pumping though my veins. I fear no person's thoughts because I dive deeply into the worst of them for fun. Just to see what it's like, so I can pick it apart.

When you can feel the pavement beneath your feet and chaos about your head and you know that all of the other monkeys are just about to burst with chemical enthusiasm and it only takes a small trigger to set them off.

When you bend the law of 5's to make shit fun every god damned second you can unless you're exhausted from the shit fucking, cock-blazing, bacon and beer fisted FUN. God DAMMIT. ERIS IS A HUNGRY GOD AND SHE WANTS MORE PITIFUL MEATSACKS TO LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR FUN. PAN MIGHT GET FUCKED UP ON SOME WINE. HEPHAESTUS MAY BUILD SOME COOL SHIT (OR SOMETHING). JESUS MAY LOVE BUNNIES AND CHOCOLATE AND PAIN. BUT ERIS WANTS THE FUN AND D/N/T HOW FAR SHE WILL GO TO GET IT. AMEN.

CAN I GET AN 'AMEN'?!

Discordia, to me, is an excuse.  THE excuse.  The rationalization I need for all the broken glass in my head, and the disgusting things that go on in my pance.  It is the justification for my bare face hanging out, for standing upright in a world full of monkeys.  It is the defense for my ungodly howling and RUDE BEHAVIOR. 

Discordia makes me look like a harmless nut - when people realize that I'm different in the first place - and in either case, it helps me hide my true motives until it's too late.  It makes people think IT'S ALL A JOKE, HO HO HO!  OH, THAT DOKTOR!  SO FUNNAY, WHEN HE MAKES JOKES ABOUT WHAT HE'S GONNA DO!

Discordia is my mask.  A jester's mask.  Don't worry, I'm only JOKING.  HAW HAW HAW!

[Doktor Howl]

My earlier answer was of course accurate at that time.

But I used to have bad angels on one shoulder, and good angels on the other.

Then all the good angels, for various & sundry reasons, left me.  So, you know, muhaha, and all that.

Actually, that's pretty interesting. Like hiding out in the open.

Discordians? Haha, oh right, that's one of them nerd joke religions. Never mind this guy. Hmmm.

I think the only member of my family that has it figured out is my father.  And TGG, of course.

With me it's more of an "okay. Kevin's always been an odd one anyway."

Think of it as a Segway with bad gyros.  On my left shoulder, I have TGG, Enabler, Maria, Nigel, and Knuckles, all bouncing up and down and going WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

There's nobody on the right shoulder...My son found his own desert to live in, some buggered off in a cloud of butthurt, some moved away, etc.  So off we go, into oncoming traffic.
