Discordianism

From S23Wiki

Image:discnow.gif
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: Life is sometimes like a pizza round: hot, greasy, and delivered by a guy named 'Tony'.
