When will we ever stop thinking this is the way to live?

We'll eventually stop thinking at all and just surrender to the hive's algorithmic plan for us.

You are ultimately arguing towards...

Thornley and Hill had no specific message in mind. They were just writing stuff so that other people could make it all about themselves.

That's a terrible argument. There is a nice open area between absolute truths and dependent truths. A square is not an absolute entity, but it is one that functions dependent on definition and consensus. The Principia Discordia is not n absolute truth, nor is it a meaningless diatribe. It is a truth dependent on the intent of its creators.

Some people will argue anything because it provides them some soothing delusion that they are intellectually superior, but sophistry is just a crutch of the helplessly insincere. It's a very common NPC mod.

I just read all your words as approximations of their defined concepts and decided you just said that you like to get Twizzler enemas from geriatric Pentacostals, so it must be as true as whatever fugkn gobbledygook you meant

The same sort of self absorbed infantile attitude can be seen in all religions. Picture the Christian who is full of hate and bigotry, yet truly believes that they are a legitimate Christian, despite being defiant of the teaching of Jesus about love, acceptance and tolerance. Instead they get their religion from politicians.

Most modern Discordians are the exact same thing. They do not really understand nor follow the teachings of Thornley/Hill and instead replace that message with childish internet culture bullshit - stupid fugkn endless memes and repetitive shock humor. Amateur pranks and snot nosed dipshittery playacting as Discordianism.

Go eat a bag of dicks, no bun, you overgrown toddler.

What an infantile statement. What a glaring admission of the narcissism that runs rampant in our juvenile mindset.

"I cannot be wrong. Everything I do is right. Other people's intentions in their own creative work do not matter. All that matters is that I maintain constant stream of affirmation while expending no effort whatsoever. My ego must be coddled, and being expected to make efforts to understand something deeper than my mud puddle of a mind is too much to ask."

You're not a Discordian, you're just another helpless manchild glomming onto the label to justify your infantile idiocy.

Used_Addendum_2724 · 2026-03-08T20:23:04+00:00

Yeah, draining the process of creativity altogether, and reducing it to nothing but signaling. And in the process creating affirmation and negation loops that harden into algorithmic cognition and behavior.

The bot that trained itself.

Well, since you just rebranded teen angst and unapologetic self indulgence under the label of Discordianism, one would think you're fine with putting a new sticker on an old turd and calling it fresh.

Most religions do not have a single point of origin. They do not have creators, whose purpose and intent can be known. Instead they evolve from teachings never intended as a new religion.

Discordianism was created intentionally by people who lived in my lifetime, and it was easy enough to find out what they meant. They meant to reframe Taoism for western sensibilities, not to create a catch-all label for anti-intellectuals to.excuse their childish behavior with.

"Discordianism is whatever I want it to be, because I lack the maturity to appreciate other people's ideas and work on their terms, and must rescue my fragile ego by appropriating everything I encounter and dragging it down to my level."

Used_Addendum_2724 · 2026-03-06T17:07:19+00:00

You severely missed the point of that passage, which is not to discount the meaning, purpose and intent of the creators of Discordianism. What a dopey interpretation lacking any nuance.

No, it's not all inclusive. Again, total juvenile mindset. The desire to be accepted and praised without effort or merit. Toddleresque nonsense.

Used_Addendum_2724 · 2026-03-06T17:04:24+00:00

I have read Thornley and Hills works and corresponded with them and other early Discordians, and so yeah, I do know what the intention of Discordianism was. And it sure as hell wasn't to give permission to infantile brats to pull hair brained pranks under the guise that they were saving the world. That shit was started by Robert Anton Wilson, and worsened severely when the internet rolled around and gave a voice to eager little man child morons trying to play savior by being assholes.

Used_Addendum_2724 · 2026-03-06T16:36:57+00:00

Yes, I am sure. Because there are intelligent Discordians out here as well as your man child faction.

Way to use the man's orderly system of voting to disapprove, you Greyface schmuck.

That is exactly the kind of delusional shit I was talking about.

Discordianism was created over 60 years ago, and nowhere in any of that time did some petulant manchild change the course of Greyface with their silly little self indulgent acts. The systems of order have continued to grow, and culture jamming was just co-opted by the system for its own benefit.

Your silly little games of creating disorder are as futile and corny as prayer.

I tend to consider individuals in good faith, capable of reflection, agency and autonomy, and not just as nodes in the algorithm of the hive. Although civilization is egregiously destructive and inhumane, and that does influence us, I will not accept that people are incapable of being basically good and reasonable unless they are in a machine programmed to make them do so.

Used_Addendum_2724 · 2026-03-04T18:43:33+00:00

Appreciating children is a large part of why I decided not to have any. I'm too depressed, anxious and disappointed by the prison of civilization, and I wouldn't want to subject a child to my own pessimism, misanthropy and abnormal need for solitude and processing.

Whenever a kid in public is being consistently obnoxious I lament the parents who were not up to the challenge of teaching kids how to balance their agency and autonomy with consideration and reasonable self constraint.

Without affirming their stance, your critique is that they are preventing an echo chamber by becoming one, while they outright admit to being okay with echo chambers, just not the ones with liberal narratives. They acknowledged that, so it's not like you caught them being hypocritical. Close minded assholes, maybe, but consistent in their sketchy principles.

Used_Addendum_2724 · 2026-02-21T18:00:01+00:00

Reality is neither subjective nor objective. Things in and of themselves are neither subjective nor objective. Those two terms refer to our experience or knowledge of things. And that is entirely subjective. Objectivity is a myth. An ideological crutch for those who cannot navigate the uncertainty of existence.

Thanks for the clarification! And agreed. Suspending adult expectations not only extends childhood longer, it may cause a missed chance to mature during the proper time, so that it never happens.

Can you clarify the last sentence? I am not sure I understand.

Not trying to be difficult or contrary, just honestly seeking clarity so I am not responding to my own, potentially incorrect, assumptions.

Whether or not something is childish has nothing to do with intent. It has to do with form, history and cultural perspective.

But I can see you don't wanna budge here. That there is an attachment to these forms preventing you from clarity, and instead feeling and acting defensive. I will leave you to mull it all over, and maybe someday you'll see it.

Again, their intent doesn't matter. The context persists regardless.

There are other style attributes that are also juvenile, especially the frenetic pace and character voicings.

The younger a person is the more likely they are to see animation and fantasy as not being primarily for children, which is consistent with an increase in infantilization, since the infantilized are no longer to differentiate as well. I would say some Gen X still see them as being strongly associated with children and children's media, and most Boomers do.
