TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

It seems obvious to me that this is a concept that can bear exploration. I'm not sure that context is very amenable to exploration, though; it might have too much baggage to lend itself to critical and constructive examination.
"I'm guessing it was January 2007, a meeting in Bethesda, we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk," Charles Wick said. "It was very complicated."

That's the old existential conundrum, isn't it?
How to live your life when no one tells you what to do and everything seems too complicated.

Life in the past was very difficult but, in retrospect, very simple. Life now is a lot easier, but more complex.
I can deal with complexity, so obviously I prefer my modern, easy, complex life. So do most of you.
I can see why some people might feel differently, though.

What appeals to me about it is that it's a model for maturity.  I look at it as a model that I can discard when it's not working.  If, say, I apply it to my kids, right now i can see my son has a lot of the Magician/Lover aspects and my daughter has a lot of the Magician/Warrior.  Maybe it might be an indicator to get my son into martial arts and spend some more time being mindful with my daughter. 

This is just off the cuff, but I don't really intend to take it terribly seriously, either.

Even with the thread drift, that one didn't suck.

Re-Bump

Burns and I were just talking about how to embrace masculinity without the toxic parts. He kindly linked me to the post ITT about the mature masculine archetypes, which I found very interesting.



Good thread all around
