But here's why I came here. I'm one of those weirdos who read the Principia Discordia and almost took it seriously... whatever that means... then later I read the Black Iron Prison which practically confirmed all the "suspicions" I got from the Principia. Shortly after each one, I found myself in the grey area of a million black & white situations, realizing everything is two-sided, and witnessing duality in action. I watch people kick & scream as they cling to one side with iron fists, the vein in their forehead protruding as they proudly denounce the other. Their emotions rule out their logic as I sit back, completely neutral, so neutral that it just KILLS them how I won't support their cause, or at least admit I'm against it(which I am not). I know some folks here dislike me, I know some may just post instructions on how to fit in here... since that's all I've ever wanted, to fit in somewhere... but I'd like to humbly ask for some real advice. I love all your insight.

My advice is to examine yourself for a while. Spend a little time visiting with the horrible monkey in your brain.
Because, after all, disdain is itself an emotion with which people make decisions.
I should also point out that while most everything is a shade of grey, there's a mighty big difference between these two shades:

If something is 90% true and 10% false, you really shouldn't put it in the same relativistic category as something that's 60% true and 40% false.
Gotcha... I'll keep that in mind.
