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.

I can't remember if I posted a link to the Coursera class I'm taking because apparently I decided that my academic load wasn't challenging enough. But anyway, I started it, and I immediately thought "OH SHIT, CAIN WOULD LOVE THIS!"

I know you're way the fuck too busy to check it out this summer, but I thought I'd post the link in case you want to look at it in the future.

There's quite a few on there that may be of interest. I'm probably going to sign up for a couple for the course materials.

This looks quite good too:

Yeah, I think it will be an interesting and useful supplement. Especially with regards to economics, which I wanted to take but ran out of elective credits.

Thanks.  Yeah, neuroeconomics is pretty interesting.  Behavioural economists rely on findings from it quite a bit, and it has some overlap with decision theory and all the kind of stuff the LessWrong people talk about.

That said, I'm also considering the counter-terrorism one at Lieden University.  If I have the time.
