what does....

[Mangrove]

...any of this have to do with Discordianism?


Seeing as we've stirred up a whole bunch of stuff at this end of the forum, we may as well keep it going.

And it's not a facetious question either.

[hunter s.durden]

Dosen't matter...
It's good shit.

[AFK]

Well, it is a good question.  A n00b is likely to ask such a question too.  You know, after they ask about HIMEOBS. 

[Mangrove]

are we:

          extending discordianism?
          rejecting it?
         
          or something else?

[P3nT4gR4m]

We all met in a principia discordia forum. We had to meet somewhere and, logically it turned out to be common ground. Now that we're here if we keep going over the common ground it'll be a bit of a waste of time, since we've already been over that same ground to get here. What's going on here is the answer to the question we all asked "What happens next"

[Mangrove]

because discordianism as a 'cell' becomes subsumed within the larger BIP structure.

it's like this place is now: principiadiscordiaismerelyachoice.com

[P3nT4gR4m]

principiaasacatylistaftershock.org

[LMNO]

Something else.

One of the guys who wrote the PD, also wrote about "reality grids".  So there's a relation there.

also:

Starbucks Pebbles
Law of Fives
Fifth Pentabarf
Sermon on ethics & love
"Think for yourself, schmuck"

all relate in some way to the BIP concept.


so there.

is this your vote for 'extension'?

[Cain]

Basically, the ideas came from us rediscussing the lessons of the Principia Discordia.  Like LMNO said, the "grids" and stuff.

I personally see it as extending Discordianism along other lines of enquiry.  You can sit around going on about the intricacies of Chaos all day, but it does get rather tedious after a while.  And there are always other areas to explore....

          extending discordianism?

          or something else?

I would say a and c.  extending it into something else.  I think the PD was a step, an exploratory team, we are but one group of others who have picked up the trail and gone in all sorts of crazy directions from there.  Who knows if the authors would even be hip to where we are taking things.

any chance someone could come up with a pithy summary of all the above and integrate it within the emerging paradigm?


so there x2!    :lulz:

Principia Discordia - What happened next...

[hunter s.durden]

What happens when a n00b asks about HIMEOBS?
Nothing. You tell me to fuck off.

What if a n00b asks what this has to do with discordianism?
Tell 'em it dosen't matter.
Then belittle them.

Things are better when you figure them out for yourself.

[Triple Zero]

Who knows if the authors would even be hip to where we are taking things.

i dunno, but i for one would like to know what they'd think of it.

either they like it and it's cool and interesting that an idea can indeed carry so far

or they don't and we'd be like haha wtf do THEY know anyway

both cases are good

[and cain: split away, but please add a link to this thread, so we can keep track of where it came from]
