MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

Wow, that is really interesting! A very plausible explanation for a long-standing mystery.

Yeah, though I might have posted too soon, dunno how reliable it is as I read a comment on HN that the Little Ice Age might have started decades before 1492. Then again that guy might have been talking out of his ass, I don't know.

It's always worth more investigation. If it all ends up lining up, it would be really great to have historical evidence of human-influenced climate change.
