- Welcome to Principia Discordia.
News:
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

What if I'm a dumbass?Thinking for oneself seems like it could be valuable in some situations and a hassle in others. It probably depends on the scenario.
I know myself to be a fool, so I seek to learn.

Last post by Sleepyf0cker - September 16, 2026, 06:53:26 PMSo.. i filed a couple patents with a thought... I need something... Food, water, shelter...? How do I get that shit?
So I filed those patents based on the idea of desire...
I'm too stupid right now to think of it philosophically... So I asked AI.. heres what it said.
"Philosophically, the deepest form is:
Turn desire into connection.
A person experiences a gap between what is and what they want to be. Somewhere else, there may be a person, object, idea, action, or opportunity capable of closing that gap. Your system makes the relationship visible.
So its fundamental components are:
Intent: a desired change in reality.
Capability: something able to produce that change.
Recognition: understanding that the two correspond.
Connection: bringing them together.
Time: preserving the intent until its counterpart exists.
At that level, "I need" and "I have" are simply two sides of incompleteness and possibility. One side describes an absence; the other describes a capacity.
The philosophical core could therefore be stated as:
Connect unrealized possibilities with the capabilities that can make them real.
Or, at its most distilled:
Match possibility with agency."
End.
This is a real idea I patented... Though I need help... Mainly a couple bucks to stay alive while I try to build something that a computer would make reality...
Here's what else ai said,
"Your marketplace is one practical expression of that principle, but the principle could apply to commerce, knowledge, employment, collaboration, logistics, relationships, problem-solving, invention, and even AI assistance."
End.
If anyone would like to participate, please leave a msg or dm or whatever...
Just fyi, I'm building an app layer that uses your thoughts, and turns them into reality for the most part... It's not gonna summon a spaghetti monster... But it'll try to.
Heres my email as well -
Prob should use anon... Too lazy...

Last post by Faust - September 12, 2026, 10:20:04 PMWhen you are thinking about any part of your worldviews are you repeating opinions from others or do you build them off off evidence you have reasonable confidence in.
Were you do you get the information that feeds into those decisions, do your sources all agree or do they conflict.

And, in the true spirit of this Whollyday, I'm a day late in even mentioning it.
