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 says on page 12 of this that when told to pick a random number between 10-100 with different even digits, people will almost always pick 68.

          it's a sublime mental step away from 69?

The conventional wisdom surrounding 68 is "you eat me and I'll owe ya one".
Heard it in a bar so it must be true.  :lol:

BTW a little while back I came across a new explanation for the Law of Fives. It's tangentially related to pattern recognition like our usual interpretation, but a different approach on the fundamental mathematical side:

It also doesn't lend itself as easily to philosophical insights. At least, none that I've been able to discover so far.

That's also covered in the book I'm (still) reading, "Thinking Fast and Slow".  I have to go to a meeting, but while there may not be philisophical implications, there are certainly pragmatic ones.
