His triology is about spinning all sorts of conspiracy theories together
into a wacky world view, he worked at Playboy in the sixties and
collected letters from the kooks. One of the goals of neu neutopia was
the same thing, an integrated mythology, in a Usenet context a logical
evelopment of the plutonium atom within which when combined with the
forces of Serdar cann lead to the amazing flame giant where we struggle
to understand the teachings of John Wisdom so that Jack Sarfatti can
build star gates through which the space cadets can enter other branes
(parallel universes.) Of course it's a bit more complicated that, some
see it entirely differently. For example some say the center is the
taoist between dance and yogi the telepathic dog (who has is own
newsgroup.) This of course depends on whether or not you believe in
Happy net.

I've channeled your question to the alleged followers of RAW, the cult
known as discordians along with a religious group which will help
further confuse things as a public service. This is what makes America
great!

Hopefully this will help in the post post Surrealism FAQ. Just be
careful if someone says meow, it means trouble and is completely off
topic.

Some people will tell you that Bill Clinton fits that description far
better than Bush or Nixon -- and they are not entirely wrong. Nixon
stabbed his Enemies in the back, but Clinton did it to his Friends.
His lust to inflict Punishment surpassed even Nixon's, and he put more
people in prison than Caligula. He had his own brother locked up & he
refused to pardon his old friend Webb Hubbell. Richard Nixon was a
criminally insane Monster -- Bill Clinton is a black-hearted Swine of

I think you're all mistaken here. First of all, his last name is spelled
HEINLIEN, not what you put. And Robert Anton HEINLEIN writes books about
spaceships and suchlike, not conspiracy theories.

No he didn't. He was in the Royal Navy during World War 2, single handedly
sinking dozens of Italian battleships using his submarine, the USS Tarpon.
The submarine's crew said he was the best captain they ever had.

Also, he wrote lots of books about Librarianism, which Ayn Rand later
stole all the material from to invent Objectivistism.

I hope this sets the record straight!

I usually call myself an Orthodox Discordian. Mainly because it's an
oxymoron.

>Only Orthodox Discordians follow RAW. And I despise them.

I'm still at a loss as to these orthodox discordians..do they sink themselves
as baptism.. play follow the person who took the most drugs.. where are these
elusive creatures? how do you spot them? are they in hiding? like spies? do
they make reports to some easily yet unseen force.. or are they still too
attached to the idea of a holy babblebook and a uniform thought?
raise your hand if you go to church.

It's confusing, isn't it? You're NOT ALLOWED to call yourself a
discordian, or else you're not a discordian. BUT! If you go around
saying "any discordian who titles himself for the sake of definition,
at that point ceases to be a discordian.", that's the VERY PINNACLE
of DISCORDIANISM! I guess what Mazchin is trying to say is:
"I'M A DISCORDIAN AND YOU'RE NOT! SO NERRRRRR!".

No, but it's attractively crooked. Robert *Anson* Heinlein and Robert
*Anton* Wilson are not at all the same person, but they're both very good
flonkers, in their own venus flytrap ways, and I like them both very much
in a nice curry sauce.

Look, maybe I didn't use enough CAPITAL LETTERS. His name was
ROBERT ANTON HEINLIEN, not ROBERT ANTON WILLIAMS! I dinnae
ken how you can get WILLIAMS confused with HEINLIEN! It's
only got TWO LETTERS the same. I'm NOT saying that HEINLEIN
is the SAME as WILLIAMS, I'm saying that the author being
discussed in this WEBCHATROOM is ROBERT ANTON HEINLEIN, and
that further, he COULDN'T have written about a bunch of
CONSPIRACY THEORIES because that movie DIDN'T EVEN COME OUT
until 1997, and by then HEINLEIN (NOT ROBBIE WILLIAMS LIKE YOU
PUT, HIENLIEN!!) had ALREADY WRITTEN all of his books. AND
HERE'S PROOF:
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0118883
You SEE? The only way that ROBERT HEINLEN could have written
about Conspiracy Theory in 1962 would have been if he had
a TIME MACHINE, and he only wrote BOOKS about HOW TO BUILD
a TIME MACHINE, he DIDN'T actually HAVE ONE.

Also, I have noticed that almost everybody who writes down
how much they like HEINLIEN is some sort of Objectivist LIBRARIAN
who reads lots of books by Ayn Rand and says things like
"I shouldn't have to pay tax because I did this all by myself",
totally ignoring that they COULDN'T have done ANYTHING without
a SOCIETY to do it in, and furthermore, MONEY ITSELF is a
SOCIETAL CONCEPT and is ABSOLUTELY USELESS to a "Rugged Individualist"
such as these HEINLEIN/RANDROID/LIBRARIAN/OBJECTIVIST/DUKESTuDENTS
like to think they are.

Finally, I think that CANNIBALISM is WRONG, and Kibo's got a bigger
.sig than you, so NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!11!!1!

cheers

Heh, man thats a rough crowd who reads to fast.
Nothings a rule, we change rules as we go along.
As we see fit, or not, or purely for the sport of it.
I just simply stated one reason for proclaiming titles.
My point is that we don't do it, to set ourself above.
This is not a Race to see who is a better discordian.
We are nonsensical to better point out the total nonese we see in every day
life. That which we have been taught is right. The point of that post is
not to fight about discordianism. The point is..to point..out why we are
discordians, and why we are like we are this week. And no like we are, last
week. We make no sense, because sense makes no sense. And that makes no
sense. Eris is more than a reason to hide behind.
So yes..if you title yourself so you can appear better than BOB, the
Non-Titled. You have stopped becoming a discordian. You are a rat in a race
to the cheese..

Oh yes well you deserve your own reply now don't you.

Dearest Beable, SpeedReader;
I offer this title instead of instituting the only other obvious one;
Incompetenent Mule.
Nowhere will you find me saying we shouldnt call discordians, discordains.
That is infact the perfect thing to call ourselves. That and 'General Colin
Powell.'
You are obviously a giant floating eye-spy, sent here to taint a small bit
of discordian opinion on why we are discordians. I faught the public
education systems of ths country personally. You..with your filthy
caps-lock trick. Just because you make the letters bigger. Dont make them
true. Well, unless your a high ranking general

-General Colin Powell

>Hey! There's nothing wrong with a few holynames.

I..agree. It wasn't holy names I was speaking of. Especially not anything
as orthodox discordianlike as such well-crafted signature files. But the
expert use of such wonderful appendages in order to distinguish oneself for
fear of persecution, and or to recieve a nice stiffy in front of ones mom.

Oh My. With the caps trick.

Wilson, Newsgroup, 1960's, Irish/Catholic-born, german = no, playboy = yes,
and finally. Cannibalism makes you a Cainite. Thats right a Cainite.
Its the vitamin-a, you see. Carnivores have a build up of vitamin-a in their
organs, most importantly the liver. This is because..of well..eating other
living things. Cainites reportedly ate each other, usually the liver and
the brain. (Only soccer teams lost in snow covered moutaints eat ass.) This
over time, a thousand years or so. The estimated average life-span of
neanderthals, (Thats Neander Valley kids. Its german, much like Wilson is
not.) was about 900 years. Eating in one day more vitamin-a than humans now
consume in their respective entire lives. And for 10 times as long results
in severe arthritis, and osteoperosis, (its not just for breakfast anymore).
These are both..severe skeletal degeneration problems for humans of only
limited life span. imagine 10 times that life..with those afflictions.

So, finally got one down. (annibalizm my not be right..or wrong. But it will
make you a degenerative cainite.

Hail Eris, Hail Hail, Hail Yes.

While I was wasting my flonking time usenetting in alt.discordia, Eris
Kallisti Discordia spoke to me through Beable van Polasm:

I never mentioned any British singers, only two different US sf writers
with distinctly similar middle names -- the past Grandmaster of sf is
*Anson*, the former Playboy editor is *Anton*, they're both Bobs, and their
initials sound the same when you say them as a word, unless you make a
point of not doing so. I've read most of one, a good bit of the other, and
the Trilogy was only begun in the _late_ '60's, around '67 or so. How do
_you_ know he didn't have a time machine? Either of them?

I have yet to decide _what_ kind of anarchist, or crypto-anarchist, RAH
was. RAW is clearer, natch. I'm not though.

Not being a Catholic, I have no opinion on cannibalism -- though I've heard
it's unhealthy. Kibo has become a myth, AFAICT. Anyway, Lordy has a bigger
sig, too.
