I need to read the Principia Discordia now... it's something I've always been really interested in, but just never... "got around" to taking a serious look at.  I've always been annoyed with the way people use the word 'truth' like there is such an absolute which can be clearly defined and understood, and I've also been frustrated with people who can't understand how fundamentally cultural perspective influences a person's style of experience.  Judging by that excerpt, it seems Discordian literature understands these things.

Maybe people should love for the sake of loving, and not with all of these optimization conditions.

We also use the liar's paradox ("This sentence is false") as a mantra.

Meh, whenever I find a Evil Robot Trying to kill Everyone but at the same time Accepting questions From the Audience/Victims I just tell it to calculate Pi.

More likely then not that would just cause it to tell you the first 11 (or 14) digits of Pi, then gut you.

I think a computer smart enough to decide that it must kill all humans would be smart enough to avoid absurd questions.

Going to have to agree with that. Anyways, we all know the best way to defeat robots is to send wave after wave of soldiers at them until they reach their kill limit.
