Hi, welcome to PD.com, I... uh...
I got nothing. Somebody else tell him.
Hi.
Avoid hitting 50 posts. It gets kinda messy after they've torn into the most recent newcomer pinealist.

Especially the ones that have eyes so full of "swimmers" that they don't see the introductions thread.
I'm waiting on the sidelines, patiently sharpening my favorite tongue :evil:
48 to go.
This is my first one. It's so exciting.
:popcorn:

Maybe I DIDN'T put it in the introduction thread on purpose. Geez, kinda weird for my first couple replies to include a complaint about going outside the lines..
You're not
required to post in the intro thread, by any means. However, you should know that talking about your wild and crazy drug trips involving the PD and Illuminatus! Trilogy are going to be met with rolling eyes, like this ---> :roll: because most of us have heard it all before (many, many times), and some of us have experienced it for ourselves. Of course, if you feel like expanding upon your experiences and spinning it into a good story, that might be fun. I know I like a good story.
Like I said, welcome to the PD.com forums. Check out the Principia subforum, the one at the top if you go to the forum index. It's the roof; there's a pool there.
46 posts to go.

Maybe that caught every ones' eye, and they're lining up to fuck with you, the moment you hit 50 posts.
Welcome to Discord, by the way.
I'm feeling particularly kind today, so here's my only advice:
Lurk Moar. Post Less.
You'll see that written in various places here. it's there for a reason.

Yeah, I kind of figured that. I didnt realize this was going to be such an interactive experience. Still seems a little weird. So is this something that happens to a lot of people?
Most.
Usually the ones that show up determined to show how outlandish they are, in their first 10 posts. You know. I mean, we've been doing this for years, we've seen every nonsense-spouting dadaist type that exists, oh, I dunno, maybe 2 million times or so. So we mash 'em quick, before they spag everything up.
The smart ones stop trying to be hebephreniacs and start reading and/or producing content...or even just coherent conversations. The dumb ones decide to show us that THEY'RE DIFFERENT, by continuing the EXACT SAME NONSENSICAL BULLSHIT that's been seen a million times.
I guess it basically comes down to this: Are you here for discord, or are you here to babble like a loon?

It's a building tool that can inflict horrendous damage.
If you're referring to Nigel's reaction, I'm assuming it is because she doesn't like coke and heroin addicts messing up her town.
Welcome Hangshai.
This is the Welcome Mat.

No. I understand a little about the reaction. I mean, there is no way I can really try to get you to believe I was any different then any other dirtbag junkie at the square selling weed.
Who cares? I think Nigel just wants to a) get you to leave Portland, or b) cause you grievous bodily harm with a nail gun.
Quote from: Hangshai on December 07, 2009, 01:40:04 AM
But, I am NOT trying to lay claim to being a discordian or anything like that.
Then what are you doing on a Discordian board?
Quote from: Hangshai on December 07, 2009, 01:40:04 AM
My first experience with ALL of this was when I was about 16, my friend had just gotten back from Albuquerque after a summer traveling after high school. We were sitting on my lawn baked and he was telling me about Bob and Slack and Syncronycity, and the number 23.
In short, doin' it wrong.
Quote from: Hangshai on December 07, 2009, 01:40:04 AM
We walked to the McDonalds and I bought a large soda, and it came out to 1.23. Well, after that I was pretty much hooked.
You are aware that the rule of 5s is there to show you that people tend to MAKE UP patterns, or see synchronicity where there is only chance, right (or a mind-boggling amount of drugs), right?
cut it some slack TiGGeR.
Everyone's gotta start somewhere, this one can at least string a sentence together and seems to already grasp that trying to tell discordians how to be Discordians is just gonna end badly.

good cop/bad cop -> its a classic for a reason.

Well, after that I was pretty much hooked. The drug reference was a just a little exposition on my part I guess. Wasnt trying to offend anyone. If it makes any difference, I didnt stay long. One really beautiful summer, then I moved on... Oh, and I think I said Im not on those drugs anymore... Im to old for that stuff, i think.. and its not the same anymore anyway.. I just like to smoke weed and check stuff out.. Oh, and I never new that there was actually a consensus that the end of Illuminatus sucked. I mean, it was kinda like when the rest of the matrix trilogy came out.... Big letdown...
Yeah, believe it or not, dispite how widely acclaimed RAW is in the discordian universe, most of us don't like him nearly as much as he would have liked you to believe.
Yeah, some of us think he's cool.
Many of us would not have discovered discordia had it not been for him.
But us, being the discordians that we are, take to heart that whole "Question everything and everyone" creedo, particularly those who happen to tell us that.
Quote1. I AM being nice. Nigel's the one that keeps grabbing for the nail gun.
So... good-cop, angry-but-nice-cop and murderous-cop then?

Hey I dont mind it. I appreciate any response, I guess, which is better than no response. Really, I never met anyone else that was into this stuff besides my buddy, and I ended up getting into it way more than him.. By this stuff I mean history, religion, metaphysics, drugs, psychology, physics, philosophy, and anything else I could get my hands on. I kind of just bounce around from subject to subject, read a book or two, or listen to some lectures (been listening to Alan Watts and Manly Hall lately, both pretty cool guys). I think the discordian view is that the accumulation of knowledge or reading about all this crap really wont get you anywhere anyway, right? I mean, learning about something isnt the same as doing or living. And, well, I guess some people are too pink to get it. I never knew where I fit in all of that. I know Id LIKE to consider myself as being with it, but, you know.... at least I know better than that. And really, I probably will say some fucking stupid shit, so, whatever, flame on...

I'm not going to lie, the first time I saw TGRR's name abbreviated I read it with two G's and secretly snickered. Then I realized I was a retard. That picture is fantastic. :lulz:

Quote from: Hangshai on December 15, 2009, 09:09:00 PM
Thanks for letting me stay (for now, I have a feeling this could be subject to change at any moment). I just wanted to say that although I am not myself a Discordian(always thought I was more of a satanic bhuddhist, but thats just because I think there is bliss in apathy and I like to get high), I have always been intrigued by discordianism since I had heard of it. Whenever I tried to explain it to a close friend (which was hardly ever, unless I thought the person could or would appreciate it) I would say, "its kind of a parody of religion that is a religion... Sort of". It always seemed to me to be a thing that you had to be shown though, not something you could really do on your own. That may sound strange, but, I never met anyone IRL that is into this stuff, except for my ONE friend from High School, and I'm beginning to think he was just a fraud who picked up some cool ideas that year he went away to art school, and then faked the rest, without ever having any REAL understanding of ANYTHING, except how to parrot what he thought would make him 'look cool'. Utterly disingenuous. I think I understand why you are so protective of this forum (because of asshats like that), and if I were a member, I would be protective too. This may sound utterly stupid, but this is the ONLY forum Ive ever been on that actually reminds me of an old school BBS. People post, have conversations, you guys actually KNOW each other, and thats cool. I dont know what made me decide to look up the Principia that day a week or so ago, but I had NEVER thought I would find THIS forum.
So, Im happy to be here, and thats actually REALLY cool because I get so little happiness from life these days. Im pretty sure the daily parade of inequity and stupidity that is the human race probably gets most of you down as well. Or maybe it doesnt. Im not tryinig to say I have anyone here figured out, or that I have anything figured out for that matter. I do think that I found this forum at the right time in my life, cause if I would have found it this time last year.. Shit, I wouldnt have made it past ten posts. Ands thats real talk, yo.
Oh, and i made my first MSpaint decopage art thingy for my avatar. See just being here is making me more smart. er smarter. whatever.
1. We'll let you stay. We hardly ever ban anyone.
2. Please stop trying to explain Discordianism to people.
3. We're all frauds. Your art school friend would fit in nicely.

Consider it a chemically-induced Fifth Circuit breakdown. If he sticks around here long enough, he has a better chance of getting over it.
Or, conversely...
So, what does Fifth Gear really entail? Basically, selfish pleasure. Rapturous hedonism, unbound by space, time, and social conventions. Since 5C is connected to 1C, then we revert back to the beginning. Our pleasure is entirely internal, and focused inward. "Sensory Intelligence is internally dependent in a similar way that First Grade Physical Intelligence is externally dependent."
However, in order to become Internally Dependent, you really, really need to be comfortable with yourself. "Internal dependence is in direct opposition to our conditioned, social needs for approval, acceptance and permission to be ourselves. From a sensory perspective, our need for outer confirmation occasionally poses as The Last Obstacle to self-empowerment." Whether you call it "giving yourself permission", or "casting aside social objections", or whatever, you really need to be comfortable with who you are. If you don't feel Safe (C1), you're never going to surrender to the Oceanic Bliss (or whatever language you want – remember, we're beyond words, here).
"When you cease to need social approval for the act of being yourself in public, you are potentially a "social threat." This is because you are no longer under anybody's control socially speaking. There are two basic types of social threat: 1) Negative Threats & 2) Positive Threats. The former include psychopaths and those whose social attitude is of the "fuck you" variety. The latter include those charismatic personalities catalyzing Sensory Intelligence in the people they make contact with, directly and/or indirectly." Now, I wouldn't say that holding two fingers up to the social order is necessarily "Negative"; in fact, a large chunk of the social order deserves it, especially when it comes to the opinion of 5C FUN. But I'd agree that someone who abandons all social mores simply for hedonistic pleasure would tend to be a dick; and I'd say that the Positive Threat of the Guru has a greater potential for damage.
"The preliminary, baby-phase of Sensory Intelligence is bound to cultivate a certain arrogance in us... not the kind that makes us feel morally superior to others but the sense of being privileged or "chosen" to be included among The Living." This is one thing I like about A.A., in that he makes it clear you can't just hit 5C and then stop. "...During the advent of the 1960's, it was The Hippies who re-stabilized Sensory Intelligence. It didn't last, however, because there was nowhere to go with it. It was as if we were all dressed up with no place to go... The nature of Sensory Intelligence is very "zen" in that there really is NoWhere To Go because everything is Here and Now. This is kind of like getting "stuck in the present." There's nothing particularly "wrong" with this and everybody ought to try it at least once. For those of us wishing to graduate, it is imperative that we learn how to absorb, organize and communicate Sensory Intelligence... If we don't, we run the risk of remaining in the self-absorption phase of Rapture and must resign ourselves to the perpetual indulgence of our Hippy Ancestors."
He concludes with the observation that when we understand what 5C is, we look and strive for two things: Leisure Time, and Sex For Fun. Usually, both at the same time. If we don't have knowledge of 5C, we are concerned with Survival, and Rules. 5C occurs when we have no more survival worries, and we forget about the Rules. Of course, if you spend too long there, you'll either risk your survival, or get eaten up by the Machine™. So, like every other level, you need to integrate it into the whole. And once you do that, you can some increased control over yourself. "It is possible to, at will, disconnect our attachment to the conditioned, robotic response to things and shift into the direct sense perception and response of somatic contact." That is, you can relax your physical body, and you can recognize the Rules that you operate by. We can detect the tension in ourselves, and learn to let it go.
The paragraph in bold is the most applicable to this conversation.

Ok, if I understand you correctly, the truly enlightened mind just wants to fuck.
Then you don't understand me correctly.
In fairness none of us do. Most of us just smile politely and avoid eye contact :cry:
THE UNENLIGHTENED WILL BURN IN TORMENT.

:hashishim:
Perhaps, but the enlightened will burn when they pee.
Wait... unsafe sex is enlightened?
THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE IS RETARDED.
Finally we agree on something!

When you smile, the whole world smiles with you.
When *I* smile, people start moving to the other side of the bus.
It's not easy being a Doktor. :sad:

Hey I dont mind it. I appreciate any response, I guess, which is better than no response. Really, I never met anyone else that was into this stuff besides my buddy, and I ended up getting into it way more than him.. By this stuff I mean history, religion, metaphysics, drugs, psychology, physics, philosophy, and anything else I could get my hands on. I kind of just bounce around from subject to subject, read a book or two, or listen to some lectures (been listening to Alan Watts and Manly Hall lately, both pretty cool guys). I think the discordian view is that the accumulation of knowledge or reading about all this crap really wont get you anywhere anyway, right? I mean, learning about something isnt the same as doing or living. And, well, I guess some people are too pink to get it. I never knew where I fit in all of that. I know Id LIKE to consider myself as being with it, but, you know.... at least I know better than that. And really, I probably will say some fucking stupid shit, so, whatever, flame on...
