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 guess the one small part of my point that I may not have expressed well enough is that while making choices about what you absorb will mean you miss out on something,  it doesn't necessarily mean that what you choose to absorb isn't just as good, or better, for you at that point in time.

Choosing not to read RAW doesn't mean assiduously avoiding any of his creative output. Choosing not to listen to Ween doesn't mean assiduously avoiding any exposure to Ween. It just means making the choice to put in other music when it's under your control. I've never read any RAW before very recently, because there were other things I was more interested in reading. The Iluminatus! trilogy is a pleasant read, but I don't feel like I've been missing out, nor am I somehow Discordia-impaired, by not having read it before now.

I can totally understand that.

As a "matter of principle" though?  lol  Just teasing.  I think I get the jist of where you're coming from.

Actually, you probably would like Borges.

I have an anthology I've been meaning to get around to for several years... maybe after I finish my RAW bender I'll get on it.
