TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

One of the things I love about this place is that when discussion is active, it's way the hell up there intellectually speaking. I've never found any other forum with this level of intellectual and creative activity, or anything even close to it. In all sincerity, PD has made me a smarter person with better critical thinking skills and a more expansive education than I would have without it.

I think I'm an outlier in terms of being a dumb youngster with weird ideas. This is mostly because you spags have been influencing my thought processes and general worldview for about 4 years, since I was 17. PD.com is a very unusual intellectual culture for an introspective teenager to grow up in.

I kind of wonder how that will affect how I look upon myself 10 or 20 years from now.

I like to think that PD.com is the only place that tells you to be yourself, your real self, and MEANS it.

Which is why I think the allergic reaction to noobs coming in - with the intent to be the zaniest guy in the room - occurs.  They're not thinking for themselves, they're performing with the intent to be someone else to everyone else.

Except for AKK.  He was for real.  Which was even worse.

You'll ask, "What the FUCK was I thinking?"

Just like most people, then? :lulz:

Good. Wouldn't want to think that this place made me turn out all weird or something.

The Seekers board was close IMO, in its most active days, before Fravia+ died. But it was more tech-focused and even taking that into account, PD is better :) We used to call it "a collection of smart people". What PD taught me, is that just "smart people" is not quite enough, they need to be bipeds too.
