Its time to put a rest to these rumours...

[LMNO]

so, i pose a new question .. as the barstool experiment tends to 'solve' the new age metaphysics nothing is real hippie stuff .. is there a similar way to cure common paranoia?

Concerning the Barstool Experiment, I feel that the lesson to be taken from it isn't that it "solves" metaphysics, but rather that you need to be aware of both the Universe you create in your head, as well as the Universe you are receiving signals from.

Metaphysics can be fun, and they can lead to revelation and epiphany, but don't think that it will feed your family, unless you can get a book deal out of it.


As to your other question, "common" paranoia seems to be generated by insufficient observation combined with self-deception and pessimism.

If you try to Find Out as much as possible about Things, you'll soon find that the "common" paranoia soon vanishes...











...and is replaced by REAL paranoia.



















Then again, you can always just realize that 95% of the human race is on self-destruct auto pilot, which tends to make the whole issue moot.

yea, realizing things about 95% of the human race has the general tendency to make issues moot.

--> when in doubt, realize stuff about 95% of humanity

Sir, do you mock me?

Sir, do you mock me?

i mock 95% of humanity -- but not you, really!




actually, yes. i'm in a kind of mocking mood today.

.. but we were off-topic anyway already right?

anyway, i didn't mean the barstool experiment solves metaphysics, that's why i put the quotes there in the first place. but your summary of the conclusion is a good one, puts it in clear perspective.

and paranoia.. well ... let's say that 95% of the paranoid delusions i encounter (in others) are moot issues anyway

[LMNO]

I think you're mocking me.

LMNO
-common paranoid.

[Triple Zero]

i'm not mocking you - 95% of humanity is.

[LMNO]

I knew it.




Those fuckers.  You just can't trust 'em.

I did a presentation to Dada/Surrealism/Discordia to my high school philosophy class as a final.

Come to think of it, that page of discordian quotes really really got them into it.  I printed off the whole quote list and gave pages of it out at random, they loved it.

I'd suggest it.

So, is there a PDF of this somewhere? I feel like this is important information.

[BadBeast]

It's probably far too important to risk by putting in a PDF File. I think the only format safe enough, is to commit all the relevant passages to memory, and then eat your computer just to be on the safe side.
I know I'm a bit over the top as far as security is concerned, but I didn't manage to not get dragged off to Gitmo (twice)
by copying sensitive mahjickal secrets into PDF files.

All joking aside, I really don't have a clue. Try Trip, if he doesn't know, he might know who does..

Download and install Open Office, paste the text into an OO Writer file, format it how you want it, and export as PDF.

Still got the feeling someone's mocking you, LMNO?

It might be because I HAVE BEEN DOING EXACTLY THAT, ALL THESE YEARS, QUIETLY BEHIND YOUR BACK

(or maybe that wasn't me, but 95% of humanity)

MWUAHAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAA
