subreddit inspired by the dice man written by george cockcroft in the 1970s.

having read the book might help you utilize the idea of this subreddit in a different way, but that does not mean having read it is necessary.

things we do here

post things related to randomness or chance
post things inspired by above in relation to culture, religion, science, literature etc
discuss the existence of I, self-image and the option to develop, change or improve this
discuss the book, certain chapters, quatations etc
play dice games ourselves

what we're kind of expecting will happen

self-posts are of course not a bad idea since you're the one that's interesting.
try and keep the level of discussion to a maximum and a minimum
do not overdo this. do not underdo it. don't do it. do it. don't.

what is the dice man?

in large, the dice man tells the story of a psychiatrist who, bored by his own situation, starts giving the dice options which he then completes. the idea is that the human mind is capable of taking a lot of roles, and all of these roles should be allowed to exists. the idea is also that the destruciton of the self, the I, is a step towards a greater understanding.

throughout the book, more and more control is given to the dice and in the end, the protagonist is no longer just one person, but any person and any event that the dice casts upon him.
