It has been awhile since I came here. But now, I realize why I left: there is no purpose.
You all talk of how sucky the world is, moaning about your lives and constantly re-itterating how terrible the world is. You're trapped in a web of Pragmaticism, looking at the big concept of "The World" through a microscope which is your life. You know, when I first came here, I was truly intrigued by what seemed to be a genius school of thought.
But the truth is: you're pointlessly hurting yourselves. Popping an instinctive bubble your brain has made to make life wonderful-seeming. But if your personal life is good, you'll find a problem in your country, or the world, or something. Searching for another problem you can't fix just to remind everybody, you were right and Logic is all there is.
If Logic is truly all there is, you might as well kill yourself-- you'll find no solace in it, real or not. My only real advice being: scrap everything but the pinealism and the recipes on here. The Principia Discordia was written as a joke, as "how to escape whatever you want", not as a political dogma nor as a guide to living. You can eat hot dogs on Fridays-- but the original concept Mal-2 was probably aiming for has been so far distorted, and it's modern-day replacement is rehashed so often on here, there's no discussion. "This is the truth-- if you don't like it, suck it. "
But-- Idealism and dreams are lost. You :horrormirth:abandon any hope for a better future, whining about how bad things are on this site which considerably few people know of. So please. Life is an abstract painting: stop looking for the goat you were told about.
Well, what are you doing right now?

So, this is how you enjoy your life? Compartmentalizing a group of varied, angry people who have no purpose, and few people pay attention to, telling them that their ideas suck, that they should kill themselves?

Seems far less foolish to make mistakes about the world based on one's own life than it is to make mistakes about a "site which considerably few people know of" based on one's poor understanding of it.

If you come here and get the idea that Discordianism is about
logic, then you should revisit gradeschool English classes.
I was once like you. I thought this place was full of meanspirited, washed-up, bitter old people with nothing better to do than sit at a computer and bemoan the sorry state of the world. But I was wrong, and so are you.
See, like it or not,
THE WORLD IS A SHITTY PLACE. Everybody you meet, anywhere, will tell you that's true if you press them hard enough. They will always disagree on why it is shitty, and what can be done to fix it (and these disagreements are a large part of what makes the world continue to be shitty). But the simple fact that life sucks and the world is shit (and getting worse!) is probably one of the few things that all of Humanity can agree on. So in a way, here at PD, we are celebrating the accidental unity we all share as Humans.
But on a much deeper and more important level, what you find here is that people aren't just pissing themselves with dread over the next legislation that's gonna come barreling down the tracks as we are tied to them or the next great adventure in tragedy Humankind is on the brink of. We just take not of those things, talk about it over tea or whatever, and then we SCREAM with LAUGHTER.
We recognize that, although subjectively life might induce a sane person to cringe and snap, it is ultimately the most hilarious thing that has ever,
ever crept across the black starscape of the Cosmos. We are incredibly
lucky to witness Life, especially Humanity. For example: the way Nature strives and strives for
millions of years to achieve perfection, only to end up with
us... how can you not find that hilarious? And every day, the punchline grows and becomes more profound and maddening.
Most things in the universe aren't even aware of their own existence! We, on the other hand, have the opportunity not only to be aware of what is going on, but to sit back and
watch it unfold. And --
and -- to actually
help it along! It's an incredible gift!
So what you see as a blind, stale community full of bitter misanthropes, is actually a thriving community full of people who are overwhelmed by the
sheer delight of living in this Modern Age. But, you are an asshole, so we couldn't really expect anything else. Not that we would want anything else anyway, since you're just adding to the fun.
Cheerio!
Vex, that was fucking glorious.
:mittens: for vex!
It took me a good two reads to fully appreciate and understand what vex wrote :mittens: Very beautiful!!

scrap any new interpretations of Kerry and Greg's pristine masterpiece
scrap the art, the music, the video
scrap the analysis

Point.
I've found that the amount of enjoyment I feel is directly proportional to the amount of awfully awfuls of which I'm aware. I'm sick right now but generally I'm feeling pretty decent and reasonable. That's because I know in the back back back of my mind there is the mere potential for the most awful things to happen. They don't HAVE to happen but their shear possibility is enough. In contrast to that, I'm feeling pretty damn alright.

QuoteYou all talk of how sucky the world is, moaning about your lives and constantly re-itterating how terrible the world is.
Well, lets be honest: I'm the one who mostly talks about what a shit condition the world is in. Ever wonder why? Could it be that I have a deep and abiding interest in how the world works and what is going on, and it
just so happens much of what goes down out there is bad, or nasty, or horrible or whatever? And yeah, I did moan about my life for a while, but to be fair, I got shafted
bad.
QuoteYou're trapped in a web of Pragmaticism, looking at the big concept of "The World" through a microscope which is your life.
What is this Pragmaticism of which you speak? I assume you mean Pragmatism, but I want to make sure. And even then, that doesn't make much sense. I'm also pretty sure "the world" doesn't work in the same way as this rather dull, if slightly seedy country town. No, I'm pretty sure the rest of the world is, by and large, much more difficult, dangerous, heartbreaking, horrormirthy, hilarious, exhilarating and murderous than what exists here. Believe me, the world would probably be a morally better, if duller place, if it reflected my current surroundings. No urban guerrilla warfare, black flag ops, secret prisons, or dodgy diamonds for YUO.
QuoteYou know, when I first came here, I was truly intrigued by what seemed to be a genius school of thought.
That may have been your mistake. This is just warmed over Beatnik nonsense, with a dash of Taoism, Zen and Dada.
QuoteBut the truth is: you're pointlessly hurting yourselves. Popping an instinctive bubble your brain has made to make life wonderful-seeming.
You seem to be confusing wonderful with "good". A few philosophy lessons will no doubt beat that out of you in due time. Wonderful is derived from "wonder", which can mean astonishment, admiration or doubt. I feel all three of those on a daily basis.
QuoteBut if your personal life is good, you'll find a problem in your country, or the world, or something. Searching for another problem you can't fix just to remind everybody, you were right and Logic is all there is.
I was right all along anyway. Papal infalliability. And...logic? You really aren't up on how this forum views certain things, especially logic.
QuoteIf Logic is truly all there is, you might as well kill yourself-- you'll find no solace in it, real or not.
You seem to have quite a bugbear about logic...I'm pretty sure whether or not logic is all there is, its not worth killing yourself over. And "solace"? Who wants solace? Apart from Christians and hippies and New Agers and really tired parents of newborn children, naturally. Why do you assume those of us here especially want solace?
QuoteMy only real advice being: scrap everything but the pinealism and the recipes on here.

QuoteYou can eat hot dogs on Fridays
I do anyway. Well, if I have any, and am feeling lazy. You can get them for less than a pound at the nearby store, and only take a few minutes to cook. Perfect lazy food.
Quote-- but the original concept Mal-2 was probably aiming for has been so far distorted
OH NOES! We are not being sufficiently faithful to the original concept of Mal-2! Which, as I recall, you just dismissed as "being written as a joke". So we either don't take it seriously, or take it too seriously, which is it?
Quoteand it's modern-day replacement is rehashed so often on here, there's no discussion. "This is the truth-- if you don't like it, suck it. "
Funny how quick people are to proclaim a singular viewpoint as being "the truth". :lol: No evidence, no attempt at structuring an argument, just plain assertion. Very amusing.
QuoteBut-- Idealism and dreams are lost.
Have you checked down the back of the sofa? I know this much, they're always in the last place you look for them (lol, tautology).
QuoteYou abandon any hope for a better future
Oh, not
any hope. Just most of them. But they weren't really that good anyway.

This is time I spend away from my everyday (very fucking BUSY everyday) pursuits...it's going to end up important to me.
So you don't like it/us/being here. So go away. Go find somewhere else to hang, Dude--why stick around a place that makes you feel bad? What a waste!
...your OP makes me think, though, that you haven't really read enough to know what this group of cats is about. I think you should be reading more...there's tons in here. Silliness, heartbreak, art, political commentary, history, literature...more silliness. And I don't mean the zomg23pineal crap either.
So go, go have fun somewhere. Go get your jollies where it counts. Makes sense for you, rather than shit-kicking it here.

The Principia Discordia was written as a joke, as "how to escape whatever you want", not as a political dogma nor as a guide to living. You can eat hot dogs on Fridays-- but the original concept Mal-2 was probably aiming for has been so far distorted, and it's modern-day replacement is rehashed so often on here, there's no discussion. "This is the truth-- if you don't like it, suck it. "
But-- Idealism and dreams are lost. You :horrormirth:abandon any hope for a better future, whining about how bad things are on this site which considerably few people know of. So please. Life is an abstract painting: stop looking for the goat you were told about.
Skipping the past few pages to be amazed at how quickly this prodigal genius has, in barely over two months (a chunk of which, he/she admits, was spent away from this site), distilled the entirety of everything everyone here has said in the years the forum has been in existence. That's a hell of a lot of reading to pull off in less than two months. Furthermore, he's managed to tell us what our opinions and viewpoints about the world are, which is a relief, because I was getting awfully confused about what my own ideas were.

It has been awhile since I came here. But now, I realize why I left: there is no purpose.
You all talk of how sucky the world is, moaning about your lives and constantly re-itterating how terrible the world is. You're trapped in a web of Pragmaticism, looking at the big concept of "The World" through a microscope which is your life. You know, when I first came here, I was truly intrigued by what seemed to be a genius school of thought.
But the truth is: you're pointlessly hurting yourselves. Popping an instinctive bubble your brain has made to make life wonderful-seeming. But if your personal life is good, you'll find a problem in your country, or the world, or something. Searching for another problem you can't fix just to remind everybody, you were right and Logic is all there is.

I think you were looking for the Gaia Online (http://www.gaiaonline.com) forums.
Fucking twatwaffle.
The world is a terrible place.
So long as one terrible thing happens, it has to be recognized as such. Otherwise you compromise on how much terrible it takes. Any terrible is too terrible. One kid starving while excess foodstuffs are destroyed is too many - if that occurs and you don't call the world terrible you're essentially saying that this kind of thing is okay.
I doubt you'll read through five pages to get this far, and that's precisely the problem with the OP and perfectly describes your mistaking the world for being a decent place. You aren't looking past the surface.
Hey OP
You're right, this board could use some more joy. Get in here and write something that makes people happy and optimistic.

IS THIS
What generated the 'show of hands' thread?
I DON'T
See what "logic" has to do with any of this.
RECIPE SUGGESTION OF THE DAY:
After the bratwurst/ sausage are flame grilled to satisfaction, place in a covered simmering pot of cheap pilsner & onions. Eat 45 minutes later.
:facepalm:
Jesus H. Fuck, dude. Is there a point to your insistence on willfully trying to piss the rest of the board off?

EXPLAIN, PLEASE
What you're talking about
PLEASE
Be specific.
I can't even get mad at retarded fatass engineer boy, these days.
E.O.T. is okay in my book. What he's doing is really no different than post scripting, and I did that for 8 years.
All I can say is that shortly after he started posting, I made the decision not to read anything he posts, and I informed him of this.
All in all, it's been a neutral-to-enjoyable experience.
I, too, am posting about how I am not reading anything he posts.
The difference, of course, is that I wasn't posting in reply to anything he has written, but in reply to ECH and the Doktor, instead.
The point being exactly what you have been saying all along: That "if you don't like it, don't read it." I'm unsure why you want to give me shit about that.
This isn't going to end well.
If the fighting starts again, I'm fucking off to do rotten things to Von Melee and John the Bastard.
Um. Gonna do that anyway, come to think of it.
What's weird is that I'm in agreement with her on this one.

Man, I'm not being bitchy. Just poking fun 'cause you've said this like four times now. :lulz: Let's not let it turn into anything beyond light-hearted ribbing, OK?

I'm posting about how I don't read anything YOU post. Cause it looks like an abstract painting. And it isn't avant guard
I'm posting about how I didn't read Babylonhoruv's post because it looked like it might have been some kind of art, and the most avant-garde form of art is ignoring art.
It's like performance art, but on the internet.
If you want to be part of this groundbreaking artistic and political movement, you'll ignore this post.

Where is the "OR"? Don't leave me hanging like this!
AND
I hate this thread, and am going to un-read every post in it to show you all.
This thread does not exist, so I can't possibly be posting in it.
I didn't just un-read that.
You just soo didn't. Thats fetch
oh fuck!
gray mat!
this thread made me happy for some reason
oh!
i was looking up some shit about abstract art a few hours back..
something about evolving beyond the physically sensible and into the abstract and symbolic..
eventually even further into a sort of transcendent and/or cosmic expression....
not sure if any of this even matters/makes "sense" at this point.
i do think its pretty cool that this thread is called Staring at an Abstract Painting...
staring at some conceptualizaaation...some thoughtsss

My kids don't really play that game. I used to when I was a kid, but other than the youngest pretending the black squares in the kitchen were lava once a few years ago, they just don't really do it.
My kids are weird.
