quick question

[t3dy]

do you think discordianism really rests on an alternative set of metaphysical presuppositions? or is it just more aristotelian BS?

Signs point to Yes.

I find your lack of flax disturbing.

[t3dy]

anti-intellectualism is a sign of the curse of greyface.

He's trying to tell you about something you've missed, pink boy.

"trust not a man who's rich in flax his morals may be sadly lax." I have always found mean-spirited flames to be unhelpful and more a sign of the pink than good-natured attempts to get discussion going. But if you honestly have something to contribute to the discussion I'd be eager to hear it.

"that's very logical"

I happen to be of the "joke disguised as a religion" persuasion. Do I still get to talk?

[alexmizell]

No.

[t3dy]

jokes have metaphysics

[alexmizell]

Then I'm definitely not joking.

Alternative to what?

[t3dy]

i.e. alternative to the usual set of western metaphysical presuppositions about reality. (Aristotelian, "scientific")

[rikchik]

I think it is an alternative to classical Aristotelian thought, but modern science has a sufficiently wide understanding that it doesn't have much to learn from Discordianism.

[alexmizell]

utter nonsense.
