So this is for all you RAW/Illuminatus/Pricipia Discordia fans out there for /lit/, i was on /x/ and saw this link to a youtube channel, some guy called it 'youtube discordianism'. I watched a few vids, shit is pretty straight, especially if your into the above.

whoever owns this thing, he obviously frequents 4chan a lot. You can tell by the description a it.

this bits a bit funny "As it stands the CGF Cabal translates Alice in Wonderland as the literal word of God (apocryphal texts include 'The Illuminatus Trilogy', and 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy')...The CGF Cabal's mission is to (dis)inform, unplug, and alienate our audience from that abominable abstract called modern society so that they may break free, go mad, talk to God, then to Dr. Freud, then to Dr. Seuss, then as they come back down from their trip, try drugs."

For a psychedelicist, being self-important is a problem. They love to tell people how ego-dissolving these substances are, then they go and act like they are the most important person on the earth (see Leary for another good example).

>act like they are the most important person on the earth

Everything is relative. You probably think this because you are comparing him to yourself. You think you are a boring individual with no influence on anyone in the world and no importance. So when you see someone who has a definite influence and is indeed a great person, you say "he is self-centered!"

Well, of course he is more self-centered compared to you, because his self is something worthy of being appreciated. Not all narcissists are delusional; some are truly in love with themselves because they really are that amazing of a person.

>> No.850817

>>850810
Your self-deluded rationalization of your own narcissism has nothing to do with my original point: for people who believe that ego is restrictive and life-limiting, psychedelicists tend to have a lot of it.

Except at the end of his life where he wanted to have himself frozen and beheaded on live TV. He went nuts and acted like a real maniac.

He was a pretty cool dude before that. He began his psychedelic career with plants to travel the world searching for enlightenment. He went to Mexico, tried Peyote, and cancelled the entire trip: he realized that whatever he was searching for was inside, not outside, his own mind.

He did some interesting research, got fired from Harvard, and became a real nutbag. It's unfortunate, but most people in the psychedelic community were pretty disappointed with him. He became obsessed with his own celebrity.

One quote which he denied (but which other psychedelicists promise he actually said) has always struck me as interesting: "LSD is a substance which causes insanity in those who have not taken it."

Yea, you do that. Leary blathered about mind expansion and immortality, but he was a celeb whore who died like the rest of us. RAW died a poor, poor man who could barely afford a fucking apartment to live in.

Leary was a moron, but RAW knew what he was talking about. RAW was broke a few months before his death but the internet helped him out. He wouldn't have given a real shit if he had died in a dumpster or in a castle. He was unafraid of death and whatever came next.

RAW's last public words were: "I look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying. Please pardon my levity, I don't see how to take death seriously. It seems absurd."

He was an impressive man. He'll be remembered. We love you too, RAW, and look forward to meeting you and your ideas again.

I actually used to like RAWs stuff a lot when I was a teen. Nowadays it's hard for me to see what the real point of his writing was - actual change in the world comes from hard work and dedication, not pointing out easy flaws and targets in other people's mental maps.

Dedicated poindexters like Gates, Jobs, Wozniak, et al really changed the world. The long, narrowminded hours of those people and a million nameless ones created actual new ways of thinking and acting..
