Multiple texts might cause people to misconstrue the true meaning behind the whole thing, though.

please tell us what this true meaning is you speak of. we shall try to make sure our future writings focus on this exclusively.

No one knows the True meaning.  we're using truth to find Truth....

That sounded alot better in my head than it looks here....

I wish it were my Cabal, but I can't take the credit for it.

The school sysytem is like a big cog production facility. It gets you ready for a whole life of turning in the Machine. What Lumpy says is true, however, I never wouldn't have found the BIP if it wasn't for school.

Most of my friendgroup is already semi-rebel, but haven't taken notice of the BIP. I've made damn sure they've read PD, though. A few of them are even in on the Cabal. The difficulty lies in being completely free of suspicion and, aggravatingly, I bring suspicion on myself without even doing anything subversive-like. Outwardly, people view me as a Nihilistic metalhead who is an "infinite cesspool of hatred"

Headed to college in september, and only one or two people know me there. A new community would have no suspicions, if i'm careful.

Stereotypes are annoying, though. And also, being over-the-top ridiculous might also get the message I try to spread discounted as ridiculous as well.

And people already ignore the message as it is

Google is scary though.....Do you think I could find something to sue them for and get all the code I want?

In relation to the Co2 laser mentioned in the above article, does anyone have suggestions on where I might find a program to control the image? Oddly, It's been the hardest thing to find.

I think it would be better if every single Discordian text had several versions floating about.

I agree, and I think we already have that to some extent (but we want/need MOAR)

I think I have stated once before why I think the multi-directional approach is good, even necessary. If we really want people's attention, we need to set up a kind of memetic crossfire. This is why KYFMS is important: it's not because of some bullshit "ofuk lookout the Greyface patrol is gonna get you," it's because if you are pegged by everyone you know as the source of the weirdness, it ruins the psychological effect of seeing Discordian stuff coming at you from all directions.


Thought: I think the story of Greyface needs to be spread among the public, perhaps as part of an already-existing GASM. We use the term all the time because we have a fairly common understanding of its meaning, and it's used in a lot of Discordian literature, but many of the people we are trying to reach might miss the point entirely because they don't know wtf a "Greyface" is, or why the hell there are so many pamphlets lying around denouncing cabbages.

Well, if people actually bothered to read things, they'd understand. At least, maybe they'd look it up on Wikipedia or something. Releasing the tale of Greyface into public attention would at least show people that taking things so seriously is such a problem.

Also, what if we just dropped the cabbage metaphor? Or would that make things even more difficult then they already are?

I am still confused as to why it matters if "they" do find out it is you.  What are they going to do?  Make you take the posters down?

If you can identify and label the perp as a "weirdo", then you can dismiss the message.

And dismissal of the message is the worst fate for the message.

So, trade in the Tripp for Polo, eh?

Please describe your usual daily appearance.

Hairstyle, clothing, etc.

Typically, band shirts and baggy pants.

Stereotypical "goth" clothes, so i guess that helps me none to disquise my efforts.
It was mostly just an experiment to see how much I could place before it was noticed and to see how suspected I was by the authority figures. All input is appreciated, as I'm currently involved in a Cabal that's entirely devoted to covert subversion.

I conducted I minor experiment the other day. I posted a few subversive texts around my school (Pages from the BIP, "Think for yourself, schmuck!!", etc) A few days later, I was approached by my english teacher (whose classroom was the main target for the posting of texts) and questioned about the origins of the texts. After further investigation of my friends, I found that I was the ONLY one questioned about it. Maybe I'm looking too much into it, but I think this proves that They really are after me. Paranoia with a purpose!

Multiple texts might cause people to misconstrue the true meaning behind the whole thing, though. However, multiple texts might also cause Them to think theres more than just us think-for-yourselfers out there. Having everyone contribute matierial(sp?) on some given day would be a good idea to create reams of new propaganda. I'm far too blunt to be insightful and philosophical, though. Or maybe i'm just being self-deprecating again?

'Wiggly hand dancing'......

I think reality just broke some more

What if the poster has no merit, but post in itself has some?

I live in VA, only a few hours from DC. I could probably get Lumpy with me, though i make no promises, cause they always end up being a cabbage in disquise...
