Do you tell others about your philosophy or 'let sleeping dogs lie'?

I remember reading some comics artist from the UK used them extensively.  Then in Eugene once, reveling with bass mutants, I met this cat said he tried to constantly visualize a rather large mandala/sigil around him in space/time.  Blew my mind

Frankly, my mind would have been blown when the cat started talking to me

True, it would seem the mutant's argot and vernacular is not an actual human language.  Hardly all that approachable. The cat was clearly not one of them, silly

I'm too ignorant to have a coherent philosophy, so I don't really talk about what *I* believe a whole lot.

One of my favorite things to do though, is to talk *about* philosophy, especially with people who've never encountered Any.

People LOVE the Trolley Problem!

I tend to fuck around with people a lot. I find that it's a very useful filter. As in: when you tell a person a bunch of nonsense you can learn a lot about the person by the way in which they reply.

Kind Regards.

Coherence actually improved when the collimating lens was removed.

I'll keep that in mind.

Grant Morrison would probably be the one you mean, though I think he mostly deals in writing. He wrote an essay on how to do sigils, and had his fanbase engage in activating a sigil to boost comics sales for the Invisibles.

There's also Alan Moore who talks a good deal about magick and does a lot, or so he says. His Promethea series goes into it, and discusses Austin Osman Spare and his sigils.

Not really. Eyes tend to glaze over if you start talking about this stuff to most people.

This is the correct motorcycle.

I dont tend to discuss this with my family, as they sort of dismissed this as juvenile rebellion back when I picked up the PD back in high school. Though now that this thread has bumped, I'm curious: does anyone else have their own little metaphors for how their Discordia makes sense to yourself? For myself, I once tried describing my discordia to another Discordian ( a very odd man on selling buttons and artwork on venice beach) and he called  it a sort of Chaos Buddhism. I dunno why, but that just felt right. Black Iron Prison equals Samsara, Chaos equals Void, etc.Does anyone else have a thing like that, or am I just weird?

I don't feel like I really even have a personal philosophy right now. That's kind of what draws me to keep coming back here even on a mostly-lurker basis. I enjoy reading all the thoughts that you guys spew and trying to assimilate them into my own personal worldview.

Coupled with:

Makes for real-life philosophising a rarity.

I just reply to casual conversation with deep and mysterious phrases like "everything happens for no reason" and "the only driving force in our rudderless world is the sweet Chaos."

"You're so interesting," people say, and, "can you finish that clove cigarette outside?"

And so Anomos stood leaning casually against the statue of Plato tossing a rock in the air and catching it with the same hand over and over. To the close observer it could be noted that he never put quite the same spin on it twice at he tossed it up and caught it over and over. No, what mattered was that he had a whole sack of rocks, and easy cover behind Plato if needed.

Sleeping Dogs don't Lie, (Sort o like territorial pissings) going back to the original post just thought i'd leave my mark!
