Then we should invite Prince Tao over as a guest speaker.

too much serious

too much fluff


is there really any cause for alarm?

ultimately its up to the reader to do the due diligence



everything is available


the BIP is what it is

a online collection of perspectives written by people who see a society of closed minds
and see this as a bad thing




most people who say that a piece of art 'changed their life' were people who were looking to have their life impacted and changed

and were open to or seeking alternative points of view

Then again, if it is this or 23pinealglandness and talking about what I ate, then this wins out every single time.

no contest


looking at it that way - i guess its this shit that distinguishes this forum from every other bulletin board in the history of cybernetica


so maybe it isnt such a bad idea to highlight this shit


maybe just change the section title to 'Think for Yourself'

I thought that BIP was an exploration/elaboration of the 'reality grid' concept from the PD. Also, before there was BIP, there was discussion of 'PD06'. I considered the BIP discussions simply to be an extension of one aspect of PD and not the entire thing itself.

I think that other relevant points should be retrieved & discussed as much as possible and added to what's already been achieved.

As for BIP itself, it's been thrashed out fairly thoroughly and, like RWHN said, could probably benefit from being left for a while so we can turn our attention to other things.

Right now, the 'shrapnel/ripples/radiation' idea seems to be where the momentum is. At least, the momentum relating to the original PD06 thought. The momentum for cock/repost/fail is as strong as ever as far as I can tell.  :lulz:

Since the BIP was only one part of a much larger trend, and this has been an area more for new ideas than anything else, a name change may be in order.  Something linked to Neophilia, perhaps?
Neophilia? 
Is that ever sarcasm.
Maybe Apocalips would be a good umbrella name for all the different WAKE THE HELL UP projects. 
So long, and thanks for all the shit.

Well, I'm going to try to have my cake and eat it too.  And while I'm discussing the intricate layers of the cake, I'm going to tell you all about how yummy it was in Discordian Recipes.

42, I actually like the idea of "fictionalizing" aspects of the BIP as part of a "notes left behind for the next Prisoner".


Kind of like in V, where Evey gets the letter from the woman in the other cell.


Hmmm... A lot of V thoughts lately.  Is it on cable now or something?

Already in bargain DVD racks, anyways.
Even in screen format, its memorable thou, and makes a good allusion.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Cramulus' Suggestions for forward progress


1. identify the specific sections of the BIP which are considered too dark or too preachy (the two most common complaints about it).
2. modify them on the wiki.
3. take all this stuff and put it in a new PDF-book. In this book the BIP metaphor is mixed in with humorous stuff such as meme bombs, Discordians in History, the Parable of the Gong, a lot of Vex's stuff, and other more "high content / high humor" passages. Add art.


5. profit
