You have your Discordia, and I have my Discordia. My Discordia is driven by the urge to see maximized human potential. I don't expect or want perfection, but I DO think we can do better than kiddie gulags, casual racism that isn't so casual anymore, and an abandoned space program. Humans were meant to do grotesque things, and we have settled for the banal. I think that has to change, and that's why I am a Discordian. This dissatisfaction with humans that are content to be humans is an irritant to most people I run into. That's okay, your approval is not my concern.
What IS my concern is that things should be BETTER FASTER SEXIER MORE OVER THE TOP. Widescreen and loud as hell.
I am a funhouse mirror. You look at me, you see yourself, only far more manic, more into it, and maybe with a beard that you haven't got. My beard is strictly there to protect YOU, the citizen, from my dangerous levels of GUAPO. You should take a moment to thank it; it is all that stands between you and DEATH BY SEXY. It's also worth mentioning that your reflection is doing the safety dance while you yourself are standing there with a briefcase and a latte, wondering how you are going to finish your insane workload before deadline.
BE THE DEADLINE. BE what John Q Public lives in dread of (finished that with a preposition, DARE ME TO DRIVE?). Be the vague, formless terror in the breakroom. Humans really can't function without that, and there just ISN'T ENOUGH TO GO AROUND without YOUR help. I am MIGHTY, but even I can't DO IT ALONE.
I am a dataist. I am a mad scientist. I am laughing maniacally while the world saves me the trouble by DESTROYING ITSELF. I'm gonna go ON RECORD, though, as saying MY apocalypse is WAY cooler than this one...You are pensively waiting to be drowned by the rising ocean; MY apocalypse has REALLY FUCKING BIG GIANT SQUID coming in with the remorsely advancing tide. Your apocalypse has financial collapse; mine has ARMIES OF RADIOACTIVE GORILLAS. Your apocalypse is the banal failure of the machine; mine is of BIG GODDAMN NEON SIGNS saying "THESE SYSTEMS ARE FAILING."
Pick your poison. Ignominious extinction, or FIGHTING NESSIES IN THE SEWERS.
Stop that shit. Put that briefcase down. EXPLAIN YOURSELF. HOW, in this day and age, are you not ON FIRE? Why are you not THROWING YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR AND HOWLING? The world is your Pripyat Amusement Park. GET ON THE FUCKING RIDE, OR KILL ME RIGHT IN THE FACE.
I mean, seriously. Just look at You People.
I am a stoic discordian...

I think a lot of people have been quenched for so long they don't know that being ON FIRE is possible.
Light 'em up Dok.
Oh dear, I'd love to be more over the top. I'd fucking adore not to be what everyone seems to tell me to be, and create my completely different perspective for what it means to be "a being". But this world just drains it out of me, everything profound I ever come up with either fizzles out, or integrates itself into the machine hurting me.
Kinda kills the motivation, doesn't it? It feels like everyone has creative ideas, for goddess sake we start out as children, but in a world where everything you say or do can, and will be used against you there's a pretty powerful urge to just to cuddle into the corner and... Oh wait the corner has spikes all over it to prevent slacking off, better get back to work.
What I'm trying to say, is that these days of endless infernal screaming I'm not even sure I should do better. Maybe better is just false ideal to lure me into cage with no windows and only my own appendages for food.
But then again, what good would moping in that corner ever do to me. Things can't get worse if you're stationary. DAMN YOU 4TH DIMENSION

I feel as if a quote from the late great Nenslo is in order here:
Quote"normal people DON'T LIKE being agitated, disturbed, fucked with and
jerked around. It does NOT improve their lives or make them happier. It
does NOT make the world a better place to screw things up for the
normals just because you are an asshole. They are the ones who keep
everything running so we can loaf around and think of fucked up concepts
and show them to each other. THEY are not the target audience for that
sort of thing, THEY are not capable of appreciating it, and if you
insist on thrusting fucked up concepts in the faces of normals they will
suddenly and shockingly change things so you can't do it any more."

That is incorrect. Nenslo is someone else entirely. The quote comes from a usenet conversation from 1998, and I am unsure which of us actually said that; I think it was him. If you have to revise, attribute to "Orton Nenslo".

1998 was the year i seen my first porn pop up. :D
That Nenslo quote had a home on my guest room wall for a year or two until recently when my wife bought a bookshelf/desk combo that covered that wall. I may have to find a new home for it one of these days.
