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.

At the same time, I also agree with the article in the OP that there is a toxic element to the "DO Some Other Crap YOU LOVE" meme, because it implies that all you need for success is to do what you love, and is fundamentally Calvinist in nature.

Well, a Calvinist would say that you are doing what you are doing because God willed it to be that way, and that if you don't make shit doing it, then it's because you're not of The Elect, and God is giving all the money to people he likes better than you.

Right. In other words, if you're doing what you love and getting paid for it, then you're Doing It Right, and God is rewarding you for Doing It Right, and in fact God knew you were going to Do It Right even before you were born, while those schmucks struggling along in jobs they don't love or not getting paid for shit are just sinners who are going to Hell anyway.
