- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

One of the earliest examples, and arguably an inspiration for this trope's name: Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus! trilogy was deliberately written to be the Planet Eris of conspiracy theories.

Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit

I clicked the link and then after five minutes I realized where I was and the amount of cross linking I had already done and quickly closed the tab.  :lulz:

I made an edit to the page because someone stated "this has nothing to do with the dwarf planet of the same name", while we all know that a Discordian (was it Prince Mu Chao? I forgot) had a hand in suggesting the name: http://discordia.wikia.com/wiki/Eris_(planet)#The_Jake_that_Changed_the_World

I didn't wanna link to Uncle BadTouch's site (which has the entire story) so I linked to the discordia.wikia.com on planet Eris which, in turn, links to Uncle BadTouch's site.

From OP link:

QuoteThis trope is named after Eris, the goddess of Chaos in Principia Discordia, the prime text of the Discordian religion. (To be confused with the original Ancient Greek mythology version of Eris as the goddess of discord, strife and quarrels. Look up the Iliad (especially the Judgement of Paris scene)

Is going to be fun looking for scene which does not exist!
Did someone say gorgeous?

Yeah....I don't think the writer has ever read the Iliad. Bet he thinks the Trojan Horse scene is in there as well.

I should have clarified, that's my bad. Where was the Trojan Horse incident, if not in the Iliad?
