Speak for yourself; I am a direct descendent of a physicist who was devoted to Bo Diddly and Muddy Waters.

"Spacedocking" is a word I learned from the internets, as well.

It's stupid, the book was stupid, and Heinlein was a hack.

Anyone using the word "grok" should be fired out of a fucking cannon, and the remains should be fed to weasels.

Seriously.

Yeah, but man, I loved that book when I was six. It seemed like sheer genius, at the time. That and "I Will Fear No Evil". I had to look up the word "Areola" in the dictionary.

Discordia is irrelevant in 2009 because "batshit insane" has gone mainstream.  People are perfectly okay with being used as puppets by oil companies and health insurance corporations.  As long as they get to fight the evil black men and the wise Latinas, they're cool with it.  Why bother thinking for yourself? 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.
