This is Zoner Constantine Anas, I want to join the TAZ in their endevours throughout Sirius.
Now I believe I had a questionnaire to fill out as a part of my application, hopefully after reading my answers you'll want me to join the TAZ aswell, so here it is:
1) What is the "Eristic Principle"?
Chaotic Disorder like a messy room or lots of people running from a fire
2) What is the "Aneristic Principle"?
Chaotic Order like when pop stars spend a half hour trying to give their hair the "just got out of bed look"
3) What is the geneolagy of the Discordian use of "Flaxscrip" as a form of legal tender?
Flax being some answer to a very important question/problem for the Discordians...could that mean that if the most important question/problem can be solved by flax, and that some say money is the solution to all problems. That it would then be logical to make flax into the legal tender, as it was the solution to a big Discordian problem.
4) What is a "Trick Top Hat"? Present a treatise on which two branches of Science and/or Metaphysics it represents.
Um...the top had has a jump hole in it which a rabbit comes through?
So while it seems like Metaphysics or Magic to someone. Its actually just really clever science?
5) List five Discordian non-Prophets.
5 people who have ever lit things on fire just to watch things burn may it be a piece of paper or a whole building.
Hello, i'm Tau_Ceti_Central.
I would like to join the Temporary Autonomous Zoners because your amulets are made of alcohol.
1) What is the "Eristic Principle"?
It involves sausages. Lots of them. Then you make a man with them. The next step in the evolution is reached.
Eristic principle starts when you make an army of sausage men and start to conquer the entire universe.
It ends when the sausage men realize mankind is fruited up, and needs a reset.
2) What is the "Aneristic Principle"?
It's the opposite of Erotic; Errh i mean Eristic principle. Sooo it's when you make a man made of salad? am i right?
3) What is the geneolagy of the Discordian use of "Flaxscrip" as a form of legal tender?
The gene elegy of Flaxscrip :
Flaxscrip was a bear, because his parents were bears. And he wasn't happy cause he had a fail name.
So he became a discordian kid, wearing discordian clothes, listening to discordian music.
His schoolmates in bear school weren't happy either, cause, you know, discordian is not cool.
You are this bear.
And your gene roots hired a lawyer to make you stop being a discordian kid. But you don't want to stop being a discordian kid. Oh what to do.
the only solution was to set up a firm offering discordian stuffs, in order to pay your lawyer, and win some money.
This answers the question i guess.
4) What is a "Trick Top Hat"? Present a treatise on which two branches of Science and/or Metaphysics it
Uhoh? Seems i need to explain the Schrodinger Epen story.
So Schrodinger was a mad scientist, experimenting new ways to have sex.
When he puts his Epen in a box, it may be up and down at the same time.
And he cannot know whether it's up or down.
Statistics tell it should be more down than up, but Fluid dynamics state when put in a box, it should be up.
On the other hand the content of the box is 99% made of void. So we could say the thing could be up AND down, or in another state, called "Take_some_cardamine_and_twist_your_titties".
In the end, Schrodinger had to face the sad, harsh reality :
- If no one can see his Epen, does it make a sound when it falls after woodcutters wearing ears protections cut it?
- Is the emperor naked?
- Is it allowed to eat cheese and die?
The conclusion of this treatise can be sumarized in this simple statement : No u.
5) List five Discordian non-Prophets.
- Your mom : You know why.
- A1n : Because ain.
- A crab with a powerclaw : You wouldn't mess with a crab using powerclaws. So he can be whatever he wants.
- The shrike : He's not a prophet, and he likes to rape. Match the definition.
- The_Joker : coz' batman.
I greatly hope i answered all your questions. If some need more explanations, don't hesitate to reach me via private comms. I'm always happy to enlight people.
It appears that the TAZ has some slightly used but serviceable Acolyte Robes available.
However, I must warn you that the Answers have changed! The last two applications were questionable at best, and i'm even wondering if the Principia was consulted..
Apply here if you wish to be considered. All you have to lose is your current reality tunnel. I will interview you after your initial application.
For Ontological anarchy, poetic terrorism, and Amour fou,
You will (presumably) find my attached application thingymajig. Hope you like it! Best of luck, me!
---FILE UPLOAD BEGINS---
1) What is the "Eristic Principle"?
A principle which is Eristic, also the principle of apparent disorder and is symbolised by the Golden Apple of Discordia!
2) What is the "Aneristic Principle"?
The principle of apparent order, this time, symbolised by the pentagon on the other side of the Sacred Chao!
3) What is the geneolagy of the Discordian use of "Flaxscrip" as a form of legal tender?
'Tis a genuine form of "scrip", used in order to avoid the use of government-issued currency.
Also, you can presumably grow your own money. Fantastical.
4) What is a "Trick Top Hat"? Present a treatise on which two branches of Science and/or Metaphysics it represents.
Have a little look at Schr?dinger's Cat II, Old Earth publication. I'd quote something, but someone's clogged up the neural net and I can't find anything without paying 10 credits an hour to use a premium service line! Boo!
5) List five Discordian non-Prophets. (Not including myself, of course.)
Um...five Discordians who aren't Prophets? Well...let's say, four of those "scrubbies" that live on that station and one guy reading the Principia Discordia while orbiting the Omicron Delta suns backwards.
6) What is "Catma"?
Catma, 'tis a general term for all Discordian thingymajigs such as jokes, pictures, teachings and sayings. You could probably fit explanations in there too.
Hmm...tricksy indeed. Well, I shall attempt to perform to the best of my pineal ability!
Here goes!
---FILE UPLOAD BEGINS---
1) What should a cabbage do if he/she sees a Fnord?
Um...feel a slight sense of unease and fear, and probably go and do something else. Wait, wait, wait. This is a tricksy one, isn't it? They can't actually see them, but when they try to see them, it makes them feel all subconsciously affected! That's it, isn't it?
2) What should a Discordian do if he/she sees a Fnord?
Realise their true purpose, and utilise strength of mind to resist their cunning and subjugating charms. And not point them out to anyone else, lest the pointed-out-to person's brain overheat.
3) Was the Prophet Wilson really on the faculty of an institution known as "Timbuktu U."? (Quote your reference.)
Umm...pff...yes, yes he was? I'd think so, after much neural net combing and several overheats of this poor browser.
Assuming that "Timbuktu U." refers to the same mysterious entity as "Timbuktu University", then my reference would be:
Quote:Timbuktu University staff (alumni include no less than Robert Anton Wilson, Timothy Leary, Terence McKenna, and John Lilly)
Or do you need a neural net address? Oh dear, I hope I've done well on this one.
4) How does Peter Lamborn Wilson figure in all this?
Ooh, ooh! He came up with the idea of Temporary Autonomous Zones, didn't he?
5) What is the significance of "Ong's Hat"?
It was/is the one of the earliest conspiracy theories, created off the existence, or lack of, a "ghost town" with the same name.
Oh, and as a bonus answer, what would your TAZ ship be called?
Pff....well, I'd go for [TAZ]Kadeshi.Nebula, personally.
---FILE UPLOAD TERMINATED---
Well, that was quite exciting! I think something inside my head melted, twitched or jacknifed. Possibly all three.
