Illuminism Contra Discordianism

"Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language." - Wittgenstein

We use language to think, to talk to each other, to write, to form beliefs, religions, philosophies, and so on. But what if we are using the wrong language? Do we have "wrong thoughts" because we are using the wrong language? Do we have wrong religions and philosophies for exactly the same reason?

What's the right language? If we could find the right language, could we then think correctly, without error, without delusion, without fantasy? Would the right language give us the right religion, the right philosophy? Would it explain reality to us?

Terence McKenna said, "The syntactical nature of reality, the real secret of magic, is that the world is made of words. And if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish."

Is reality made of language? Is it made of words? Why not numbers? 2,500 years ago, Pythagoras said, "All things are numbers."

Pythagoras was the first Grand Master of the Hyperboreans, now known as the Illuminati. Throughout history, a war has raged between the Illuminati - the forces of reason and order - and the Discordians - the forces of unreason and disorder ("Chaos").

This book shows how reality is based on ontological syntax and semantics (the rational antidotes to "Chaos"), conveyed via numbers, and how Discordianism represents a catastrophic failure to understand ontological mathematics, leading to innumerable subjectivist and relativist fallacies, and the wholesale denial of Knowledge and Truth.

The struggle between the Illuminati and the Discordians (in all their forms) is the most important there is. The soul of humanity is at stake. The Truth itself is the prize to be won or lost.
