What IS the author archetype anyway?
Surely it's more like narrating what's in front of you,
but it seems to imply that they are changing the world in front of them.

Although I guess just people watching you can write a lot of stories and be the author of their lives.
Unless you wanted something ridiculous in your story and decide that 'that man' was actually a dinosaur in disguise and that within a few seconds he will be chased by the anti-dinosaurs police squad.

If I could vote, I think I'd vote for Vermin Supreme.

Is A Discordian's brain really better than anyone else,

Perhaps we can have a brain beauty contest.
*insert imagination here - talent contest and bikini contest.*

I think that's the true beauty of discordianism -
  A question asking all the questions.
  Including the question asking the question asking.
the self-referential and 'meta' nature of Discordianism.

My two cents?

Discordia is.. an ideal.
Not for true chaos and strife, but quite simply, for a dynamic and fluent change.
Discordia is relevant because we're being bogged down, we're being static and even entropic at times.
This has been happening for a while and now, the discordian ideal is coming true -
There are many people who now symbolises this ideal and this could've only happened when the world suddenly got a lot more smaller
  (You can blame technology for that one)
We're sick of being fed the same thing over and over again, we want to think for ourselves,
- No thanks, I won't have any emotionally suppressing fries with that life of mine. -

Discordia is more relevant simply because more people are understanding it.
More people are learning to use their mind, think freely, think openly and widely.
We're still just a small plankton in a sea with the thought police as fishes, but it's growing.

People are finally seeing and talking about the damned elephant in the room, there's only a handful of people who can actually see the Black Iron Prison, but you're getting through to people. People who care will be able to find Discordianism now. GASMs are working and when we shake the masses out of their shell and make them think for a little, we might grow a little more.

Discordianism is a name for a simple ideal of freedom of the mind.
It's represented by Chaos and the lovely Eris simply because of it's antithesis of Stasis and Bureaucracy.
We can think for ourselves, see and understand (even break at the rare occasion) the social and philosophical barriers of the mind.
This is what makes us Discordianist and we're just trying to get others to see it.
If we can make them think, truly think, for themselves and understand the barriers then our job is done.
It seems more relevant just because humanity seems so close to see our point of view.
(that doesn't mean accept or convert. Heck, just getting what we're talking about and why we do things will do for now.)

Although if you just want a quick answer -
Q: Why is Discordia more relevant than ever in the year 2008?
A: Why not? Seriously. Think about it.
