Oh hell no!  We need to be MUCH more confrontational!

Why? It's a logical first impression.

I don't know how you can think about PKD after reading it but at first...

Honestly, I'd never heard of PKD until after we came up with the BIP stuff.  I imagine your average person will be in the same situation.  Philosophical-interweb-nerds may get picky, but fuck em, with a painted-cave troll figurine!

If you don't read his type of books you may not know him by name, however I am sure most people know the films he inspired.  You could throw that in their face, or  we could try to gain some attention to the project through Dick.  Maybe the Dick-Leary-Wilson link.

just testing to see how to link to a website from an image with bbcode -- and it worked!


You folks can call it what you want, but I think PKDIP sounds better than BIP anyway.

I tried this on a message board devoted to PKD's BIP but was unsuccessful.

Seriously?  There's a forum dedicated to the idea that the Roman empire never ended, and we are all still living in the age of Christ, but are blinded by a hyperintelligence so adept at camoflage that it has taken on the very aspect of the environment itself?



Wow.

if there is I wanna know about it --- NOW!!
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.
