One of the benefits of Discordianism is the freedom of belief it encourages.

What are your personal thoughts on Discordianism? Which ideas do you agree with and which do you ignore?

There are a few pages in the Principia that stand out to me, but I think the one that resonates hardest with me is the one that wraps it up with the concept of Nonsense As Salvation. That being confused isn't always a problem you have to fix. That nonsense has its uses, and the answer is sometimes 'mu'. Though one must keep in mind that 'mu' is a call to stop and think, not to stop thinking. Never go full lolrandumb.

>What are your personal thoughts on Discordianism?

While a lot of the community interaction is lighthearted roleplaying, I already agreed with many of the general ideas of discordianism and of some of its more quoted popes. Things like the denouncement of absolute truth, and appreciating disorder. In an advanced global society where world domination is increasingly plausible, chaos becomes an important protection against the horrors of tyranny.

also Billy and Mandy's Eris is a qt psycho waifu

Discordianism as outlined in the Principia Discordia is somewhat analogous to our modern understanding of physics.

The ideas of order being an illusion and of the futility of the traditional quest for a true 'grid' is reminiscent of the relativistic idea that no absolute frame of reference exists. A person standing still only appears to be standing still because you share the same grid, the same frame. Relative to an observer standing still in relation to our sun, you are moving close to 30,000 metres every second, then our sun orbits the Milky Way even faster and that is moving relative to every other object, not to mention all the rotation everything is doing at the same time. The use of frames of reference in relativity to order this incomprehensible, chaotic clusterfuck is the Aneristic Principal.

Chaos theory represents the Eristic Principal, that the concept of no-relation is artificial, and is concerned with the creation of grids to try and comprehend such disorder.

A religion that doesn't contradict the last few hundred years of scientific theory??? It's surreal.
