Join My Cult!

Has this been posted before? I found the blurb to be surprisingly relevant to our little group.

It might be the one fiction book I actually buy this year.

-Agent 267

Grid II seems pretty relevant to us.  Especially the disorganization bit too, just not the lack of political infighting.

AGENT RESPONSIBILITIES:

1. Agents will seek to awaken others in all manners, be they covert or otherwise, using methods such as pranking (reality tunnel manipulation), consensual drug induced psychonaut travel, reality art or other more "traditional" forms of artwork, tantra, etc. We define being "awake" as being herenow, and aware of active cultural biases. Static beliefs are poison. Mumbo jumbo aside, the goal seems simple: think for yourself. The deeper in you get, the more difficult this ,Äòsimple,Äô thing becomes.

2. Agents will perform activities on a regular basis that will aid in their own self development: yoga, tai chi, martial arts, art forms, or other ritual practices may be chosen as their primary method, though of course experimentation can only lead to new and necessary experiences for advancement.

3. Agents will keep a record of their work although it may be presented as fiction or be the focus of their art form, (i.e. musical compositions, etc.)

4. Agents that do not supply recruits in a reasonable amount of time and refuse to follow through on any assignments will be terminated in whatever way we deem necessary.

5. Be a doctor of teeth. As it is written,Äî ,ÄúMy teeth, although not purely scientific, (being primarily apocalyptic), are functional as canines, molars, and small lunar excursion modules. I investigate foreign territories with my teeth, and make them just like me.,Äù

Information that the Agency considers ,ÄòConfidential,Äô must not be conveyed in any form without the consent of the Agency.

Increase chaos in all systems in your vicinity.

I finally read this book.  Its bullshit.  Seriously, all respect to Crucio, because his blog, "Culturehacking Notes" and various other works make for good reads, but the book is like a bad version of Illuminatus!  A bad, unfunny version of it.  The best thing to come out of it is the M.H.B.S. papers, because of their already Discordian nature.  But really, I would have been disappointed if I had bought the book.

shame. though it probably means we should recruit them if there's a community around this thing, easy enough to point them "want something better quality? go here ---> PD.com" (or maybe slightly more subtle)

[Cain]

No need to recruit them.

1) They're as disorganized as us, if not more so and
2) they must undertake at least one mission a month of changing someones worldview

Best to think of them as another random element working in our favour.

Where's the fun in that? Much better we elect them our mortal enemies and declare war.

Where'd you get that from?

Its also referenced in the book.

I'm currently reading the sequel to this, called Fallen Nation: Babylon Burning.  I haven't read too far into it, but I would say it certainly seems much better written and more interesting than Join My Cult.  Its also freely available from the Grey Lodge website (Review #18, IIRC)
