We're making the happening happening

[Triple Zero]

A RANT IN CHAT STYLE          sort of semi adapted from an actual chat log!

[Cram] I had a dream about this exact conversation we're having right now.
[000]  I'm flattered you dream about me.
[000]  So, yesterday on the IRC, Nigel said something like "Is it me or is discordianism exploding with activity lately?"
[000]  And Stmae agreed.
[Cram] Nice
[000]  So what are the Pastafarians doing again? I thought they just made desktop wallpapers of spaghetti monsters?
[Cram] Through dilligent letter-writing and general asshole-satire, they got a few districts in Kansas to not teach creationism in science classes.
[Cram] Vex brought that up in January, and it ultimately became the discussion which kicked off OMGASM
[000]  Ok, more power to them!
[000]  That's pretty cool because that was exactly the thing we always said was lacking in FSMism.
[Cram] Hell yeah! I just wish WE were doing something on that scale.
[000]  Cram, we are.
[000]  And we're doing it way better too.
[000]  Because we're not about one cause,
[000]  we're doing it for practice in the memetics and the internet robot future.
[000]  See, if there's one thing i'm sure of,
[000]  it's that nigel is right, and it is caused by our research into memetics,
[000]  and social structures and open source warfare and all that.
[Cram] True
[000]  See, what happened in the past 3/4 year or so,
[000]  we started reaching out to discordians all over the web.
[000]  Before that we thought they were dumb pinealheads.
[000]  Now we think, a pinealhead is better than no minions at all
[000]  We really do have all this activity going on,
[000]  and we are doing it, why?
[000]  Because all the activity we're doing is directed at getting people more active!
[000]  We're not getting anti-creationism shit happening, we're making the happening happening, and when it's happening, it's really happenin'
[Cram] TROOF
[000]  It's like that bit in Art of Memetics, i'm sure it must have sprung to your attention.
[000]  About the mastermind group,
[Cram] Yeah, very much so.
[000]  how it's a group that creates media, feeds the media back into its own system, reviews and criticizes that media, creates new media based on that, keeps feeding it back, until something comes out that's worth transmitting to external networks.
[000]  Now, we say "that's PD".
[000]  That friend of mine said "that's cultural literary studies".
[000]  My boss will say "that's our company".
[000]  Everybody who is doing any kind of knowledge work will say "that's what we do!".
[Cram] Hell yeah!
[000]  Yeah, so we don't really have a goal.
[000]  Whatever, maybe active people are thinking for themselves?
[Cram] I gotta go and fight this zombie apocalypse.
[000]  Ah, ok. Then i have time to read the board.
[Cram] But you should save this little rant you just said to me, and work it into a post.
[Cram] It's good stuff.
[Cram] Later.
[000]  Peace bro, pleasant dreams!

And then, Cram was a zombie.

I agree with this happening post!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Also, I like the "happening" part, because a friend and I always refer to "it" "happening". You know when it's happening.

If you haven't go a Pening, a Happening will do
If you haven't got a Happening then Goddess¹ bless you!
