Chasing Eris and More Discordia w Brenton Clutterbuck & Recluse (Patreon)

For this subscribers outing I'm joined by the great Brenton Clutterbuck. He is an Australian gonzo anthropologist and chaos journalist. Brenton is also the curator of the Chasing Eris website as well as the book by the same name. And it probably goes without saying, he is a Discordian par excellence.

As such, our discussion centers around Discordianism. The great thing about Brenton is that his Discordian expertise is outside of the "Golden Age" (i.e. the RAW/Kerry Thornley era). Rather, it's centers on a badly neglected subject: contemporary Discordia. With that in mind, we delve into some of the most intriguing develops since the '90s onwards. This includes an examination of the notorious troll Reverend Loveshade and the mysteries of "Mike Quinn." St. Mae and the Cacophony Society (the inspiration behind Fight Club's Project Mayhem) are also on deck as is the Gnostic/Discordian Black Iron Prison tract.

Brenton and I also delve into the Discordian influence on hacking. He drops a bombshell concerning one of the world's most notorious hackers and his links to Discordianism. Inevitably, we discussion Discordianism's ambiguous relationship with chaos magic, the OTO, and even its strange intersections with the Process Church of the Final Judgment. Brenton also takes us through the otherworldly Discordianism developing in Brazil, while we ponder possible links to crop circles. Finally, we briefly address Operation Mindfix, the influence Discordianism has had on he alt-right, and even it's strange relationship to Mormonism and Gnosticism.

Hopefully we succeeded in giving you guys a compelling overview of contemporary Discordianism. This was certainly one of the most enjoyable interviews I've conducted recently. As always, I hope you guys enjoy an thank you so much for your support!
