by all means, post some stuff!

we've always wanted to have a zillion pamphlets like the BIP, but we're limited in our effort and resources. And have you ever tried to motivate a bunch of Discordians to all do the same thing? It's haaard! The best method is to throw a snowball and hope it turns into an avalanche. If it doesn't work, keep throwing.

And if you make flyers and post them, I highly highly encourage you to take a picture of it, upload it to flickr, and tag it "postergasm".  :mrgreen:

Well, part of the idea with the pamphlets, flyers, etc., is to get them to come here.  Many have the pd.com and poee urls on them.  Then, if they are really miscontruing things, we can set them straight.  Besides, in the end, the more people questioning the better.  We don't pretend to know the answers, we just know what questions to ask. 

Or perhaps they will discover that we are misconstruing things, and set US straight.

Hilarity ensues.

please tell us what this true meaning is you speak of. we shall try to make sure our future writings focus on this exclusively.

No one knows the True meaning.  we're using truth to find Truth....

That sounded alot better in my head than it looks here....

I think the best way to say it is, "Everyone knows truth. truth is what you make of it. However, NOT everyone wants to find Truth.Truth is inconvenient. Truth is depressing. Truth requires work. Truth is 2 c00l ph0r ewe."

We all make our own Gods. We all walk our own way. But none of us save a solemn few have ever tried to show us a better way.

We all are our own Gods. We all want to walk on a way...
A 'better' way can only be found through comparison and applying some rather subjective rating: and as long as you don't have any real idea about the way you are taking into consideration there will be no chance to actually KNOW which one is better... And even similar ways are own ways in their own way, but I sway off. Of course we can give rough estimates and rate different ways filtered through a table of priorities and earlier experiences; t ex survival will always be way up there: with death being rather terminal and all.

Now my head is just drifting off so I will leave it like that. Skål!

I was just coming back to this thread to post that.

Took me a minute to figure it out.
