I agree with myself. The invocation of The Great Durden appears to be the foundation of Anonymous - with V being the outer head.

I saw Tyler and the Narrator as straight Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, Dissociative identity disorder because the author comes right out and says it in the book. However I agree that it can also be viewed as a dying god or reincarnation metaphor. Especially when you consider the quote "It's only after you've lost everything, that you're free to do anything."

Looks like a good book. And it's available for Kindle. It's going on my Wish List.

You might want to look into reading this book: http://www.amazon.com/Imagined-Communities-Reflections-Origin-Nationalism/dp/0860915468

It discusses the idea of imagined communities, which you referred to as artificial coalitions, in great detail.

Something interesting you might want to do is analyze Fight Club as an almost perfect representation of the IAO cycle.

Thank you, sir, for your obviously unbiased opinion. I'm sure that financial gain and family honor had nothing to do with your feelings on the subject.

I am Maureen's son. I accompanied her to the James Randii show and sat in the audience. This was not a fair test, the show was rigged, and I could not believe what was edited out, not just for Maureen but from other people on the show. Excellent information was delivered, but the show was edited to make everybody look stupid. The audience, who seemed generally neutral at first, actually booed Randii at the end as it was clear that this was NOT a balanced investigation, but a sideshow. TV needs a genuine, unbiased investigation into mediumship.

Is it weird that nothing in this was shocking to me? Jesus Camp bothered me but this didn't. Maybe I've been paying attention to right wing Christian crazies for so long that nothing they do or say surprises me anymore.

2011-03-07T20:10:43.711-05:00

I completely agree with you, Cathy, which is why I intentionally left out anything about the pyramids and didn't say that they were slaves. I was vague about how they were oppressed and hoped that the reader would fill in the blanks herself. ;)

2011-03-07T19:35:36.644-05:00

Nice try. More recent evidence shows that the Jews were not actually slaves, but paid workers. Those building the pyramids and other Egyptian structures were not enslaved, but paid laborers. Sometimes, Egyptians would come work for the Pharaoh much like young men who were in the CCC during the depression and before WW2. They worked a year or so as citizens and volunteered labor as an act of service. I think the Jews wrote that they were slaves to make themselves appear oppressed, and justify their leaving Egypt.

As colon has said a right thing such that Colon said her religious hijab shouldn't count under that policy -- and tried to appeal to a rink manager. So that would be helpful for her.

I remember this and I was laughing and cheering this on when it happened. They were so screwed over by Cartoon Network and Ted Turner when this happened.

2011-01-24T15:36:30.987-05:00

What makes this such a great documentary is that the people they show do not object to how they were portrayed. Those far-out pentacostals don't think this was a hit job, they think they got a fair depiction. Isn't that the creepiest thing of all?

Recently watched this with my wife and 13-year old stepson. He spent a LOT of time saying "What? What the hell!?"

Which made me very happy. He's developing an excellent bullshit detector early in life, may it serve him well.

Excellent points. At least most of them. But some of these ideas are stupid and you shouldn't be allowed to post them.

Here's some extremely unpopular ideas from the past:

The emperor is not really God.
Slavery should be outlawed.
Women have souls.
Maybe God doesn't want our nation to commit genocide.
It is all right to slaughter babies.

2011-01-13T14:55:53.157-05:00

I saw it done like this:

Premise 1) God is all knowing.

Premise 2) God is all powerful.

Premise 3) God is all loving.

Premise 4) Innocent people suffer.

I was just self-stalking my username, when I found this. Glad to hear you find me interesting! Likewise as well, I must say.

Congrats!

2010-08-13T11:32:27.978-04:00

It seems so sad and bereft to use the phrases "faulty wiring" and "get rid of" in reference to children's ability to trust trees and feel that the sun is smiling at them. And what kind of Discordian uses the word "silly" as a pejorative?!
