MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

I guess the one small part of my point that I may not have expressed well enough is that while making choices about what you absorb will mean you miss out on something,  it doesn't necessarily mean that what you choose to absorb isn't just as good, or better, for you at that point in time.

Choosing not to read RAW doesn't mean assiduously avoiding any of his creative output. Choosing not to listen to Ween doesn't mean assiduously avoiding any exposure to Ween. It just means making the choice to put in other music when it's under your control. I've never read any RAW before very recently, because there were other things I was more interested in reading. The Iluminatus! trilogy is a pleasant read, but I don't feel like I've been missing out, nor am I somehow Discordia-impaired, by not having read it before now.

I can totally understand that.

As a "matter of principle" though?  lol  Just teasing.  I think I get the jist of where you're coming from.

Actually, you probably would like Borges.

I have an anthology I've been meaning to get around to for several years... maybe after I finish my RAW bender I'll get on it.
