TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Just finished Outliers...

It was chock full of "no shit, dude..."

Then I realized, Mr. Gladwell has derived an entire career from stating the obvious using borrowed philosophies and interesting anecdotes.

I can't tell if this makes him a genius, as he has used a very typical formula and still managed to be considered "quirky", or if this makes him just another academic yawn.

Please offer your riposte...


SOON!
If I had a million dollars, I'd put it all in a sensible mutual fund.
