... For Realness.

I started this page, but I really have no idea what I'm doing. Anyone want to help flesh it out?

http://discordia.wikia.com/wiki/Really_Real_Discordians

just to remind everyone what this thread is actually about

I used the term "Really Real Discordian" not because it's an in-joke here, but because it's a phrase which engenders instant recognition in everyone who hears it... regardless of context. I could be among magicians and say "Really Real Black Magician" and they would COMPLETELY get what I was saying, instantly. It has a strong gut resonance, and every group encounters Really Real _Whatevers_ who love to tell everyone else that they're Doin' It Wrong.

Just to remind everyone that Nigel addressed your concerns about 3 pages back.

Words I'm sure Nigel has never uttered before.

Well shit, no. I'm virginal as the driven snow.

I kinda want to categorize some other Discordian types, for shits and giggles. Including my own.

Maybe Silver Hammer Discordians is a category.

Maybe Rage Discordians.

Philomosophical Discordians.

Atheistic Discordians.

Tell me some categories. We all need to be made fun of.

Dutch Discordians!

That one will be easy!

yes i have coupled it to a random direction pointer it now points in random directions and makes ridiculous assumptions about what ever it points at

I'm thinking it's not so ridiculous.

FTR, I've just been assuming as much.

I don't know how I feel about the article. It seems that the subtext is "Ur doin it wrong". I'm bored of reading about how to do it wrong. It's a waste of everybody's time.

like the pinealism entry, this one reads like condescending trollbait. It makes me want to troll whoever wrote it because they sound kind of uptight, and describe exactly what their hotbuttons are.

Quote"Really Real Discordians tend to lump together large groups of typically diverse and quarrelsome individuals, accusing them of being "Sheep" or "Cabbages" who are part of a "Hivemind", engaging in "Groupthink" under the thrall of a "Leader"."

how about:

Really Real Discordians tend to lump together large groups of typically diverse and quarrelsome individuals, accusing them of being "Cabbages", "Sheep", "Pinealists", or "Really Real Discordians". Really Real Discordians often confuse "disagreement" with "not getting it", and spend lots of time describing how to be a "Good Discordian". As if there's some system to master.

I like that. I hope you changed it.

Also, it would be a real shame, and unthinkable, for any Discordians to be writing anything for the purposes of irritating other Discordians. That would be terribly un-Discordian.

SCREAMING PRIMATES!!!: it's not just a cabal, its a religion


Flesh it out and stick it in.

give me a few days
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

No true Discordian would claim to be a True Discordian!
