The Principa Discordia - Nick Margerrison Phone in show

If people ask me I usually tell them that I'm an atheist. It saves time.

In truth I'm a Discordian who worships The Goddess Eris. I don't discuss my religious beliefs much but occasionally I've hinted at them on the air. This clip is one example of that. The quote I start off with is one of the central tenants of Discordianism:

True communication is possible only between equals, because inferiors are more consistently rewarded for telling their superiors pleasant lies than for telling the truth.

This truth is why all hierarchical structures always fail. It's also the reason why a paternal society can never achieve true greatness and is a source of constant smug amusement to me.

Why else do you think Alpha males always seem so unhappy and confused?

If I may be pedantic for a moment, "true communication is only possible between equals..." is only a central tenet of Discordianism if you accept the Illuminatus! trilogy as canon.

[JohnnyThreePants]

@popefelix Mmm - I think it's important to remind you here that I'm the only true Discordian and all the rest are liars. That said Pope Bob's works are all canon. As is anything by Alan Watts, Thornley, McKenna and Colonel Sanders.

I understand that Discordia has no meaning.

[JohnnyThreePants]

This is why I never discuss my religious viewpoints with others. Of course it has meaning.

[mentalasylum]

You're right and you've understand nothing.

[fnordorama23]

Discordianism might be a farce, but it teaches you a really stress relieving and fun way to live your life. No regrets.. chaos.. hot dogs, without buns of course... and Eris... Ah what a sweetly decietful cunt bitch... my hero... my beautiful saviouress.. my goddess. I highly recommend reading the Principia discordia. If not for anything but entertainment..

[liamthelegend87]

you're famous for ripping people to pieces are ya?. Expect a call on your show and I'll show you what witty really is :) Look forward to talking to you

[TheFlyposter]

I live in the UK, Eris came to me in a day dream, and told me that If I don't wear all of my clothes, and my sleeping bag as a turban whenever I fly to Europe, I will be unlucky.

This has nothing to do with baggage restrictions on short haul flights.

Nick Margerrison you legend!

nick =legend

[popefelix]

@JohnnyThreePants Ah, I see the problem now. You are clearly under the misapprehension that you are the only true Discordian. Clearly, I am the only true Discordian. You are, however, correct that all the rest are liars.

No need to thank me. I'm just happy to clear that up.

Transparency is not to be confused with restraint. So Scream at him & dissolve, then play out the different characters you can become, by being those personalities. I havent even looked to see what discordia is, but i'm telling you extreme emotion is the only way to do it right, whilst swimming through a vast interchangeable surface with mutable adaptations. Its in the vibration between organismzzzz & your sleeping mind.

[LendMeYourHand]

You totally miss the point. So what if this kid made some jokes, LIGHTEN UP!!! You are being very discordiant by not harmonizing with others. You dont realize that humoring people brings you back into harmony. But you chose your ego. By defending yourself & feeling that you were above this caller in frequency, you did not allow for a realignment. So in turn you believe you only harmonize with certain people, Thats NOT true, you can bring people into harmony.

[senorsquiid]

What it means actually is that true communication can't happen between people of unequal social standing. if you are trying to talk to someone who can pound you, you won't probably speak the truth out of fear of being pounded.
