Thanks everyone. Moar nonsense is on the way. If anyone can hook me up with some video editing software, it'd be swote.

And are you wearing a lab coat?

of course I am. I'm a PROFESSOR.




Hey, if you get a chance, give my youtube thing five stars and/or favorite it or whatever. I'm already the uh.... 25th highest ranked science video of the day. 

yeah, you gotta do it.

Afterwards, make up your own mind about whether or not it was worth it.

But it's classic Discordian lit... if anything I'd reccommend it just so you know what everyone's talking about.



Personally, I dug it a great deal.


bonus tip - if you hunt around this forum with the search thingo, you can find numerous discussions and arguments about Illuminatus!. Some are great reading.

The Professor Cramulus exonerates on an important threat facing every human being.

did anybody catch thursday night's show?

he promoted stickerGASM and his guest was a guy who had written a book about the emergence of the internet as a tool for "organizations without organization".

didn't catch the show.

can you clarify what you mean by "stickerGASM"?


Edited to add:

Got it, nm. So he's encouraging a sort of stickergasm, but not literally stickergasm. Got my hopes up. 

This just came to me -

Can anyone think of a way to take a personality profile of a group?  Not as a collection of individuals, but more of an "emergent group personality" or something.

I think the way to do this would be to have a bunch of people take the test as if they are the whole PD forums. Then we average the results.

How to accomplish that - I do not know. Maybe take the averages of the %s?


did that make sense?

Golden Applesauce, are you reading the Art of Memetics?

I ask because one of the excersizes they give at the end of a chapter is to go take a Meyers-Briggs Personality test.

Alas poor Yorick
I knew him, Horatio,
flying baby shit



NT: The first thing Cram is films with his new video camera

My intuition about this particular Conspiracy^TM is that the two-man con ruse is this:

even if some magical super-president fixes the health care, foreign policy, education, revises the patriot act, and fixes all that dross that's wrong with this country,

most people will still be miserable serfs living in bureaucracy. Comfortable, but dependant on society's poisonous, dessicated teat. Engaged, but only in disinterest. Perhaps temporarily satisfied with the taste of carrot, but still fearing that damn stick. Not just unable, but unwilling to think for themselves or able to navigate the byzantine labyrinth of successful modern living.

Vex, you are slowly winning me over into your strange Obama cult.

For now, I will allot  him an additional face on my Die of Random Voting.

and if I recall correctly, the Dennis the Meanace comic had Dennis looking dissapointed at dinner and saying "Oh man, not gerbils again!"

can someone with some free time pleaze download this file and then host it somewhere?

You will win an internets.

Troof. I don't want to identify myself as a magician, but I AM essentially doing "sigil magic" with POSTERGASM and the other insane projects that seem to occupy all my time. There's gotta be a better word.

Reality Hacking?

BUMP BUMP BUMP


We shoudl really do something to cap off this GASM and update the Wiki. Does anyone wasnt to help me crawl back through the Colbert and Daily show archives to get footage?

you're absolutely right. Can someone write up a VICTORY! paragraph?

And who has the video footage? I know we've got the movie files SOMEWHERE...

Maddijiicke is complete and total bullshit.
Just do something stupid/strange for the hell of it.  Well, I guess letting your buddies see you try and work your maddijiicke may be worth a laugh (bascially what Apex just said).

It's not "complete and total bullshit", but a lot of it is.

I'm gonna side with Ed Wilson and Wes Unruh, the writers of the Art of Memetics...

Magic is no longer restricted to ceremonial tools and garb. Magic [in this book] is about taking the cultural forces around us and using them to shape reality.

By that measure, every commercial you see is doing sigil magic. If we accept that as a definition, I think magic is a very powerful tool... just it's a lot easier to swallow if divorced of its arcane "bending laws of physics" aura.

Magic was once a much larger field of study. Over the years most of the ideas that were once confined to magical theory and practice have been isolated and reformulated in different fields of study. Magicians are left guarding only a few nuggets of practical application that remains unique to magic. For the most part, interaction with essences generated from patterns, the manipulation of belief to alter subjective experiences, and non-local action of thought and will are all that remain solely under the banner of 'Magick' and even these few ideations are being carted away into other disciplines. So why not just study those other disciplines?

We feel there is still value in the study of magic; in particular the language system that has been built up dealing with subtle connections, forces, and objects of the psyche. We believe that with grounding in the theory and experience of causing the improbable to become possible, an individual becomes empowered to reverse-engineer the hyperreal world of post-modern discourse. We believe that magic is much more than sleight of hand or sleight of mind, and know that what has been carted away into the sciences of harmonics, of chemistry, of quantum physics still haunts the spectral core of this abstraction labeled sorcery, magic, thaumaturgy, mojo, hoodoo... and in precisely the same way, magic haunts sciences, both hard and soft. One doesn't need to dig far to find elements of wizardry in neurolinguistic programming7, or marketing, or psychology. We do not react directly to the world but rather the world as it is filtered by our nervous system's habits of punctuation. We break down the world according to what we expect to find, how we move indicates what is important to pay attention and what our word systems point out or hide. This is what Kenneth Burke refers to as the terministic screen, and is very similar to what Robert Anton Wilson meant when he discussed Reality Tunnels in his work Quantum Psychology.
