Random quote for this visit:

Now, it is obvious that the opposite of right is left and that three lefts make a right or 3l=r. It is also clear that wrong is the opposite of right so -w=r. So this would make 3l=r=-w which means that 3l=-w. Now, since left is the opposite of right (-l=r) this would mean -l=r=-w, which playing with the math gives me l=-r=w and so left is the same as wrong (yes, I could have done this in fewer steps, but I didn't feel like doing that). Now, since l=w and 3l=r that would make 3w=r. This means that three wrongs make a right. Of course, since 3 is an odd number, this situation doesn't work out with any values for r and w except 0 which would mean that r=0 and w=0 and l=0, although the last one I don't really care about. This means that right and wrong are mathematically identical and so classifying things as right or wrong is pointless because both of them are the same. And since there is no difference between right and wrong, that would make me always right and you always right and isn't that one of the things Discordianism is sometimes about?

Some Quotes

"I'd take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day."
-- Douglas N. Adams in an interview with American Atheists

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."
-- Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man (1871)
