We've got artists, scientists, scholars, pranksters, publishers, songwriters, and political activists.  We've subjected Discordia to scrutiny, torn it apart, and put it back together. We've written songs about it, we've got a stack of essays, and, to refer back to your quote above, we criticize the hell out of each other.

Jesus, I can't believe I sent CU to Sketch Park.  :lulz:

I could have gotten him killed.

Has anyone heard from him lately? Maybe I did.

I can't remember if Felix and CU were the same person, or if they just ran together, but he's gone full Alex Jones/QAnon over on FB.  It's a queasingly impressive amount of self-deception.

They were not the same person. Felix, I believe lives in Australia? He went full potato several years back. CU lived in Toronto, and was if memory serves, a victim of a moderate amount of power rushing to his head.

Bones, if anyone remembers him, has also progressed pretty deeply into Alex Jones territory.

Really?  :(  I always liked Bones.

Yup.  He's also ranting about how Muslims are taking over the world.

I blocked him after he equated my interest in far-right extremism with "letting Islamists off the hook."

He went on a long FB rant about wanting to find truthful alternatives to the mainstream social media outlets and I just decided to yank the plug. I don't need people in my feed who whine about fake news.

Felix = CU.

And this hardly surprises me.  He was always looking for a cause.

I am pretty sure you are incorrect that Felix was CU. I met CU.

I could be wrong, but CU had a name prior to CU, and I could have sworn it was Felix.

Just bumped an old thread with CU's big ol' mug... looks like his former user names were "fictionpuss" and "FP".

Oh, right.

They are all fans of different eras of Dr Who.

No era of Dr Who is better than any other... except for the 4th Doctor, whom is superior to all the others. And the TV movie, which was an abomination. And the less said about Peter Davison, the better.

Just watch the 4th Doctor, and if they still don't agree with you, they are wrong, so who cares.

It shoudo be the norm, but isn't for some reason. Your feeling is rational, and I suggest you deepen it.

can anyone tell me what book (a friend of mine is trying to find the correct citation for his own book) one of the roberts, RAW, I think, writes about having a conversation with his father about what the most important thing is in life: The author in question writes about how he thinks it is imagination, and his father qualifies by saying that it's the "organization of imagination"?
just this

Pergamos

That's in Illuminatus.  It's one of the characters though. It may be based on a RL conversation that RAW related in another book as well

Thank you, think I got it on p.63 of The Eye in the Pyramid  :fnord:
