Tell you what..I sort of have a problem with this. |
|||
I used to think like this and imho I don't think it is a difficult thing to |
|||
destroy peoples belief-systems (Christianity is a prime example). |
|||
In fact I think it's a form of violence worse then injuring their physical body. |
|||
Why? |
|||
Because within the persons 'mental paradigm' or 'Belief System' there exists very subtle forms |
|||
of behaviors (JohnCLilly called them programs) that help the organism, among many things, |
|||
'cope' and deal with all the other 'mental paradigms' external to it, "they" keep it safe. |
|||
I remember reading somewhere..i think maybe in 'Meetings With Remarkable Men' by G.I.Gurdjieff |
|||
that peoples conscience is embedded behind their belief in God and the Universe. If one breaks |
|||
construct apart, the person is left to fend for themselves in a world they know nothing about. |
|||
Yes..there is a chance it might be beneficial for them or it might be what YOU think is the best |
|||
for them. But what about the other consiquences? |
|||
The one where they suffer deeper trauma and/or become sociopathic, homicidal, tyranical..etc.. |
|||
Many OMs involve subtlety, so that those whose reality perspective is being challenged don't know whether something's being pulled on them or not. Thus Operation Mindfuck often involves a degree of paranoia. |
|||
In the Matrix movie, Morpheus tells Neo that you can't just 'wake up' any of the people |
|||
within the program, that there is resistance to the real 'truth' of it all and that |
|||
too many times it had ended very wrong. |
|||
It is a big responsibility to break a persons inner most beliefs. |
|||
Eris probobly doesn't give a shit about this, about consiquence. Mischeviousness is her tag. |
|||
But I don't endorse ideas that produce more 'Fear' for humans, we got too much of that already. |
|||
If you break someone, you are responsible to show them something better, that will change |
|||
their lives, make them more happy and respectful of others and aware of their own actions |
|||
and how they have an impact on everything. Do you think you are up to that ? |
|||

Often called simply OM, Operation Mindfuck was popularlized in The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. It involves challenging people's perspectives, and shaking them out of their reality tunnels by unexpected actions and events. These usually involve strange twists on normalcy.
Many OMs involve subtlety, so that those whose reality perspective is being challenged don't know whether something's being pulled on them or not. Thus Operation Mindfuck often involves a degree of paranoia.
History[edit]
Operation Mindfuck was created in the 1960s by Ho Chi Zen (aka Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst or Kerry Thornley, co-founder of Discordianism) with fellow Discordians Malaclypse the Younger, The Midget aka The GameMaster of Florin, Dr. Mordecai Malignatus, Harold Lord Randomfactor, and others.
OMs may be performed solo, by a few people, or by a large group. Operation Mindfuck often involves random elements, using the game theory concept that "the only strategy an opponent cannot predict is a random strategy." Participants may use random elements to make decisions, such as rolling dice.
OMs are often done by unconnnected groups of small cells of people, similar to the military tactics of Mao Tse-tung. A participant may know who's in one cell, but have no idea who else is involved in other cells. This makes it extremely difficult to pinpoint and stop those involved.
In the 21st century, OMGASM, or Operation Mindfuck: Golden Apple Seed Mission, was begun by Professor Cramulus and others. In an OMGASM, people spread the word about a coming OM so it can grow everywhere like scattered seeds.
Operation Mindfuck includes: Anti-Protests, Book OM or BookGASM, Culture Jamming, Erister Egg Hunt or EggGASM, Flash Mobbing, Guerilla Communication, Honorary Membership (in non-existent groups), OM Parades (odd and unexpected parades), Postergasm, Project Pan-Pontification, stamping official documents with unofficial Rubber Stamps, Project Jake, and more.
Quotes[edit]
- Discordians all work, I mean play, in their spare time, on Operation Mindfuck - an insidious yet disorganized attempt to tear down your old mental paradigms without offering anything with which to replace them.
Techniques include everything from elaborate pranks, to...well, simple pranks. Sort of a Zen version of the Merry Pranksters." - Rev. Ivan Stang, High Weirdness by Mail

Es ist uns kürzlich zu Ohren gekommen, daß Sie in Ihrer Eigenschaft als Minister des Innenministeriums dieses Staates in einer öffentlichen Veranstaltung in unverhüllter Offenheit gesagt haben, daß Menschen, die private Verschlüsselung verwenden wollen potentielle Verbrecher seien, da sie ja ganz offensichtlich etwas zu verbergen haben.
