Principia Discussion / Ask Your Eris?

I constantly change my mind, but yes . . . I see more difference between the first four proposed than the last four, though, so I find it more helpful to seperate them for now, but yeah it's all part of the same set.  5=6 and all that.

I agree . . . and I also agree with you about the first five . . . it seems to me that the last 3 are just variations on a theme . . . they could easily be grouped together into one 'circuit'.

Gotcha.

I found that part pretty shocking, I didn't realize it would be so easy . . . do you put much stock into Leary's 8 Circuits of the Human Mind?

I only read the last page and I am wincing . . . if I really did have the power to deny people of their Discordianism, I would deny them.  No good can come of that.

Hey, at least there's a casino . . . you can go see Hall & Oates or Jewel perform . . .

Ah, ok . . . I thought it was self hypnosis, but I wasn't sure if there was a more limiting definition of hypnosis . . .

What do you consider the most mind blowing part of the book?

Fair enough . . . let's just say of all the places I've lived, Toronto is my favourite so far.  I'm sure there are better places to live, but there are certainly worse . . . try London Ontario, that's the armpit of Canada.

It's pretty simple.  Overly simple, maybe.  It's just basically picturing yourself in front of a computer which is from the future and will read your thoughts and relay answers back.  But, the computer reads all thoughts and will take doubts as an order not to answer the question.

Basically just communicating with a different part of your mind. Maybe the unconscious, who knows . . .

I've had some weird answers come back . . . I don't know it's nothing earth shattering, but it's amusing.

Alright, so I'll argue for the Big Bang then . . .

It's obviously true because contracting isn't any fun . . . and wasn't there some theory about static on radios and televisions being radiation from the Big Bang?

And all those exploding frogs in Europe must be going up for some reason . . .

I do too - but I can still argue against it if you want, I can argue against anything.

I've forgotten myself.

I'd love to argue, pick a topic.

Ok, so anyone interested in answering my original question?

Any further comments about Crowley will be ignored by me, lest someone should lure me into an argument, and then brand me as a troll.

I think Bulgakov's Master and Margarita is vastly overrated . . . although maybe I am missing some of the cultural relevance.

Hemingway sucks ass though, all around . . . his dialogue should only be repeated by robots, and his forced machisimo is adolescent.


Toronto is vastly superior to anywhere in the Prairies, but of course you're going to think otherwise . . . personally I don't enjoy spending my time with bigoted right-wing rednecks, but hey, that's just me.  Toronto isn't perfect but its better than anywhere else in Canada, other than Vancouver.


And I enjoy that disagreeing with people on a Discordian forum gets me branded as a troll (apparently a specific troll) - I suppose the correct way to be Discordian is to parrot whatever the loudest asshole on the forum is spouting.

I think it would also be worth pointing out that if you start an argument on a thread I started it's not exactly accurate to describe me as the troll.
