one of the first sentences of the principia discordia is:
>>You hold in your hands one of the Great Books of our century fnord< <. i typed fnord into google and came to http://www.fnord.org
i cannot globalize my impressions there and express it in one word or sentence. there are definately things which do astoun me. especially the event section in the photogallery
http://fnord.org/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=events
there is incredible artwork to see.
i understand your point. you are right that one paragraph of nietzsche can probably tell more than this text.
actually thery are quoting nietzsche:
„I Tell You: One must still have chaos in one to give birth to a dancing star! – Nietzsche“i have read the principia discordia several times and found more interesting quotes and passages like:
„There are trivial truths & there are great truths. The opposite of a trivial truth is plainly false. The opposite of a great truth is also true.“ – Neils Bohr
IT IS MY FIRM BELIEF THAT IT IS A MISTAKE TO HOLD FIRM BELIEFS.
„They were,“ She added, „victims of indigestion, you know.“
„You will find that the State is the kind of ORGANIZATION which, though it does big things badly, does small things badly too.“ – John Kenneth Galbraith THE MYTH OF THE APPLE OF DISCORD
„Surrealism aims at the total transformation of the mind and all that resembles it“ -Breton
“ This book is a mirror. When a monkey looks in, no apostle looks out.“
-LichtenbergThe Hell Law says that Hell is reserved exclusively for them that believe in it.
„I should have been a plumber.“ – Albert Einstein
i am not attracted by the thought of conspiracies. but this text holds truth in it. that`s why i posted it…
i will definately let you know when i discover something about it.
…This is a collection of pages meant to support a first course in fractal geometry for students without especially strong mathematical preparation, or any particular interest in science. Each of the five pages contains examples of fractals in the arts, humanities, or social sciences. It is our hope, supported by over a decade of experience teaching such courses, that students will find this material both accessible and interesting. They will see fractal geometry gives a new way of looking at their world; that they have been surrounded by natural patterns, unsuspected but easily recognized after only an hour’s training; and that often they can find new instances of these patterns on their own…

Introduction: Exploring Fractals
Fractal geometry and chaos theory are providing us with a new perspective to view the world. For centuries we’ve used the line as a basic building block to understand the objects around us. Chaos science uses a different geometry called fractal geometry. Fractal geometry is a new language used to describe, model and analyze complex forms found in nature.
A few things that fractals can model are:
plants
weather
fluid flow
geologic activity
planetary orbits
human body rhythms
animal group behavior
socioeconomic patterns
music
and more …
This is how nature creates a magnificent tree from a seed the size of a pea … or broccoflowerFractal dimension can measure the texture and complexity of everything from coastlines to mountains to storm clouds. We can now use fractals to store photographic quality images in a tiny fraction of the space ordinarily needed.
Fractals win prizes at graphics shows and appear on tee – shirts and calanders. Their chaotic patterns appear in many branches of science. Physicists find them on their plotters. Strange attractors with Fractal turbulence appear in celestial mechanics. Biologists diagnose dynamical diseases. Even pure mathematicians such as Bob Devaney, Heinz-Otto Peitgen and Richard Voss go on tour with slide shows and videos of their research.
Fractals provide a different way of observing and modeling complex phenomena than Euclidean Geometry or the Calculus developed by Leibnitz and Newton. An arising cross disciplinary science of complexity coupled with the power of desktop computers brings new tools and techniques for studying real world systems.
