Discordianism
From S23Wiki
- Discordianism: /dis-kor'di-*n-ism/ n.
The veneration of {Eris}, a.k.a. Discordia; widely popular among hackers. Discordianism was popularized by The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson as a sort of self-subverting Dada-Zen for Westerners --- it should on no account be taken seriously but is far more serious than most jokes. Consider, for example, the Fifth Commandment of the Pentabarf, from the Principia Discordia.
- "A Discordian is Prohibited of Believing What he Reads."
Discordianism is usually connected with an elaborate conspiracy theory/joke involving millennia-long warfare between the Anarcho Surrealist Partisans Of Eris and a malevolent, authoritarian SecretSociety called the Illuminati.
- Discordian quote of the second: Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
