Post great ideas -not plebbit-tier generic garbage- you have acted out, or planned to, on lucid dreams...Be creative, unique, freaky and weird even! I find it fascinating and challenging to decide what to dream of, I want to try that Good Place joke of "eating the taste of color blue\ of childhood memories", Im also pondering whether to f*ck my country's top 5 female celebrities-thirst traps (I don't think they're hot, but I DO WANT, to cuck all men in my country -which I kinda hate-)

My dreams tend to be foretelling dreams and gives me wicked deja vu more often than not. 
My dreams usually show me odd situations, things I'm about to buy, people I might meet. The problem is there is no certainty as I tend to forget as I awaken. I only remember when I'm living the dream

Face paint, of course.  I grew up in a family of traveling carnies, although I was never an acrobat IRL.  As a child, my parents had me doing mime schtick on account of me not speaking.  They started calling me Ladybug because I always painted ladybugs on my cheeks, and I still sometimes do (although I am not really a full-time carnie anymore and I have no idea if my parents still are).

I am not nearly as familiar with the Monroe Institute as I am with the Coney Island Amateur Psychoanalytic Society and their experimental dream films, but now I am definitely intrigued.

What are the implications of a carnie lifestyle for a would be lucid dreamer?
Asking because of how the kids like to say that the kids like to say liminal these days and being an outlier always in between gigs seems to be what that business is all about.

Had a dream where, in the last episode, someone negligently pulled a rope out of the ground at a fun party gathering, flinging me a lethally-high way in the air and me falling to the ground.
Wasn't hurt or notably injured but famed television vet uh doctor proceeded to run concussion tests on me just to be sure, (except they were very dumb physical tests that IRL would have made it worse, like rapidly changing direction kind of like running between ropes on a boxing ring). Despite the disorientation inherent to dreaming, I didn't fail any. Shit doctor, huh.

I wonder if lucid dreaming could have allowed me to be even more aware of the ridiculousness and tell him to fuck off and have fun.

The ignorance and laziness of future generations has irreparably made our entire planet and its atmosphere toxic. There's no cleaning all this up. How the fuck are you going to get even half the nanoplastics out of the wind? How will we get them out of our muscle tissue?
I think the answer is that we don't.

Recall the final scene of Dr. Strangelove. The doomsday nuclear fallout vision is just a faster-acting poison than the environment Earth was already in. That final scene, where they have accepted the doomed future and explore options for preserving humanity, feels more familiar than I ever knew it would. The only difference is, at least they're still uncontaminated.

But consider their solution - bunkering. We can create a sterile environment, ideally on land but perhaps it must be under the surface or even in space. If done properly, maybe we could even decontaminate our species and others within a generation or two. But in our arrogance, if we were to be isolated in deep Earth or space, we would probably only preserve the species we've decided we like or need, which we decide are valuable, and leave the rest to fend for themselves. The chaos of evolution will be left for dead. How long will it take life it rebuild a character after that?

The best decontamination I could hope for is for

Please reference myco-remediation. 
There are scientists working to find viable solutions. The most viable are using fungus or bacteria to digest the plastics. 
I believe that a big major downside is that the digestion process of micro plastics produces toxic byproducts. 
I assume in two or three generations that people will come down with bacterial and fungal infections that could be deadly because the bacteria and fungus are digesting the micro plastics in your muscle tissue leaving a buildup of toxins.

They would sure like to have to select a bunch of their buddies and a whole lot of fertile women to repopulate the human race with. No more constituents or nations to deal with, just your little underground fiefdom and your harem. What a horrible burden for them.

>decontamination
not possible. Those few humans that are still fertile with microplastics in their reproductive organs will inherit the future. The demographic cliff might even be advantagenous, since it's easier to feed a smaller population. Dumbasses will fight, losers will lose, Discordians will laugh and some of us will survive, probably.

Thoughts aside (10/10) site. New source for classics sources. 


I have been wracking my brain over this site and it makes me confused. I have spun. I have meditated. Still I am confused. Hail Eris?

I cannot bring myself to see the difference Hesiod as so eloquently put. I feel like he perhaps did suffer from indigestion. To me, the goddess Eris is a bitchy mix of both those deities he has described. 

Further more, the internet consensus seems to be right: that the Roman's had right all along; as they lacked to make a distinct difference between Discordia and Discordia. 

I wonder, then, if there is a distinct difference between Aneris and Harmonia/Concordia

Eris is one and the same, I blame the beekeepers for forcing a split, shepherds think they can force you into a pen by splitting an entity of chaos, like what?
Worker be good, fighter be bad.
Nope, discord is just that - discord. It is objective, it will pass, but it's a recurring law of reality. Trying to delay it is delaying the inevitable and will just create a bigger apple.
The apple here, is a torus - as in magnetic field theory. Matter is the inanimate accumulation of energy, while Eris ensures for the animate part which is full of accelerating energy.
Through discordia, mater is split and tension is created, leading to released energy which can be harnessed. 
So sow chao, of sow and cow.

Briefly looking over it, I immediately noticed this website contained an error.
Nevermind the strange imagery, the passage from Hesiod's Theogony does not line up, as it excludes Logoi from Eris's children.
Ideally Eris would have 15 or 16 children, depending on which manuscript you trust to spell "Pseudologoi" or "pseudea, logoi".
This fact is laid bare in the rotation of the Moon Dysnomia around Planet Eris lasting 15.78 days. (Approx 3*5, 5 being Horkos's day of birth)
Moreover this page leaves out Hesiod's Shield Of Heracles wherein is described that Eris arrays the throng of man in tide of war.
We deserve factual scripture and dogma, not hodgepodge!

Sophia has been proven to be a solipsistic bitch, who never fails to depress. Once delving into her affairs, there's little to no self insertion within all of her since she's been with practically everyone.
I prefer Eris, because she's been rejected for her chaos, which is so much more applicable for me to insert myself into(ba-dum-tss) for the simple reason that through the ever changing nature of chaos one can find oneself. Having to relate to something of an everchanging nature brings up common themes and problems which ultimately are the product of -pope-. 
So my preference is waifu Eris over basic vitch Sophie any day.

Fallout (2024) and The Time Machine (1895) are both Discordian pieces of fiction. Both depict the natural and morally superior victory of Chaos (which, the acolytes will be reminded, is merely the underlying principle of both order and disorder) over Order, and the inevitable alienness of the future to people of the past.

Greyfaces, try to prove me wrong.

Once one accepts that there is no afterlife and a person, if even it is correct to claim to have ever existed, ceases to be at the point of death, it becomes clear that sacrificing yourself for something or someone is the most basic bitch trite bullshit. Like who the fuck cares, the person who died absolutely will not because they are no longer. So why would I care? "But she gave up what was most important to her -- her own life!" will claim some sentimental imbecile. But guess what? She is no longer, she cannot miss her life. "But if she was still, she would miss it." But she is not, and potentialities are bullshit. Just because I imagine how potentially good it would feel if you sucked my dick, it won't make you suck it, will it? So why are we talking about what could have been when it is clear what just happened, some dumbass died and it cost them nothing because they are dead, yet you imbeciles still try to pretend that their death was some great sacrifice even though dying is the easiest and most inconsequential thing to do that hurts only those who do not die.

I know that people are afraid of death. But they have no reason to be, and if they bothered to think it through instead of wallowing in their self-imposed misery, they would get over it pretty quickly.

The point is not that you have not experienced it yet, but that you can not experience it. It is impossible. One's own death cannot be negative or positive, it escapes all judgement.

>But they have no reason to be
The reason is very obvious: they don't want to die, more than they want anything else, but they will have to anyway.

>but that you can not experience it.
For reasons stated before, knowledge of the fact that you will not actually experience something does not necessarily make it less scary. Even if you are fully aware that the people in the mirror are just reflections and won't blink at you, the idea that they will is still unnerving. For death in particular, the fact that your conscious experience will end is precisely what is scary.

Philosophizing away the terror of death doesn't make it go away, any more than believing you're going to go to heaven and bang hookers for eternity.

If I had a short time limit, like a month, I'd probably pick a few billionaires to take with me. No shortage of choices, plus it's a hell of an /abs/urdist fulfillment.
I'd start doing recreational drugs. I've stayed away from any hallucinogens because I think my brain is one of the rare ones that will take a schizo turn, and I think any real euphoria drugs, if they worked on me, would enslave me. I've been mostly medically anhedonic for a couple of years now.
Definitely shooting a gun again. Basically I'd try and do all those fun things that 'put you on a list'.
Luckily my odd growths seem benign. I hope the same to you, Pope.
