Taking the easy route

A platypus decides to climb around a waterfall in a small creek, rather than swimming through it. Although easier, this does expose the platypus to potential predators, such as dogs. Platypuses are able to tuck the webbing of their front feet out of the way while on land and are surprisingly good climbers. Nuenonne Country, South Hobart, Tasmania

So Let Me Teach You Some Discordian Principles

Truth is more subjective than most people are lead to believe. Truth is all about the lens of reality that you're looking through.

Have you ever wondered why a Muslim and a Christian can both hold up different gods and say "my god is the truth"? And then an Atheist could say "my lack of god is the truth"? Then a Mormon can dead ass look you in the eye and tell you drinking coffee is a sin, and that is the truth?

None of them are out of balance in their definition and standards of truth. They just have different lenses.

Part of Discordianism is getting above these lenses and figuring out how to harness a variety of them, then switch them out at will.

If I were to give you a visual metaphor, one lens is reading glasses. Another a spyglass. Another those old blue and red 3-D glasses. Another a high powered telescope pointed at a blazar that waits for you to blink first. And another, is the camera on a pink nintendo 3DS.

Every time you look, you understand another person's sight. You start wondering why you've been looking through a view master your whole life, or worse...staring at the shadows of a cave.

Getting mastery of these lenses puts you in a fluid state where you can understand and empathize with anyone with enough information. Not only that, but you can start to predict people. But that's small potato powers. The real power comes from when you can start to see history move.

Let me lean in and whisper; that's discordianism.

And it's metal af.

And if you're wondering what this post is...

I just gave you a lens. You're welcome. This one is a kaleidoscope.

Hail Eris.

nothing has fucked me up more than knowing the australian white ibis has a near-identical sister species called the african sacred ibis. the african sacred ibis is associated with thoth, ancient god of wisdom and reason. the australian white ibis is most commonly referred to as a “bin chicken”.

careers in science & academia are so Cassandra-coded. you possess a Great and Burdensome Knowledge (at heavy cost*), which is both its own reward and its own punishment. and no one fucking listens to you
