After reading books by Spare, Hine, and all those many men - it's absolutely lovely to hear about Chaos Magick from a woman's point of view. The strong masculine vibe (especially when I was in my teens reading Christopher Hyatt and Robert Anton Wilson) is what turned me off of this realm of magick for so long. 10 years later it's been really inspiring to see female voices, like yours and The Chaos Witch, opening the doors of how Chaos Magick is expressed. And it's definitely given me a new vantage point to see why it's something I am/was drawn to in the first place, without letting biases get it the way.
+shnazzy Sweet! I'm so pleased that bringing estrogen to the game has been useful to you. :D x
+Kelly-Ann Maddox Not that you need estrogen to be a woman or anything - just a turn of phrase!
Why would you have biases?
I know this video is ages old but you've been such a blessing to my practice. I remember watching this years ago and I am currently considering diving back into the chaos. So I came back here to freshen my memory. Still so relevant . Thanks for being such a part of my growth, Kelly Ann. 🤟🙃🖤🙏
this video is from forever ago but the touch of chaos finds us when it finds us. thank you 🙏🏽
I cannot WAIT for kelly-ann to talk more about this subject from her perspective, i've been subscribed for years waiting for the choas series...bring it on!
A new video from you in my inbox is like hearing the pizza delivery guy ringing my doorbell. I love it! Discovering chaos magic few years ago was such a relief, a lovely "home sweet home" feeling and it always brings me back to it when I hear people talking about their personnal experiences... :-)
Chaos Magick reminds me of anything they show on Adult Swim
I think its genius. Your explanation is so exquisitely intelligent its a breath of fresh air. I thank you for this because I had my prejudices and misinformation. I am so interested in reading about this. So deep you always are...just beautiful. Blessed Imbolc to you as well. Thank again.
I use Chaos Magick app to create powerful sigils, life is amazing ❤❤❤
Me too!!
Same :D
I tought i was the only using that app
That app will be removed by "cabala", that fkin app changed my life!!
Unique sigils, "cheats" of life $$$
My goodness thank you. the past two days I have listened to hours and hours of talk on chaos magick from Morrison and Moore so far.
I've found what I've been looking for and feeling since is was a 6 year old sitting in a circle of river rocks in my playhouse knowing I was different than other children. I have put magick into practice, it was so natural andmore beautiful than I could have imagined.
♡♡♡
You express two years ago how I feel at this time now. Is it still beautiful?
@@highpocket7 I ask you the same... you found this it says 3 years ago. I am finding what I feel is home just now tonight. Do you still feel the same? Is it what you thought? Is it still beautiful? 🙏
Chaos magic reminds me of chaos theory in quantum physics. An endless plane of possibly. But using your intension to mold an outcome
But by the time you do that you are creating law and limiting your possibles if you are trying to create outcomes intentionally anyway limiting them for a while at least
being able to draw energy from the quark gluon plasma is just the way things work.
there's a basic path of least... that things follow,
with no... "help"
but pushing the path off line, moving away from the top of the bell curve, asking, forcing, leading, nudging the atomic structure to follow its natural path to creation,
just
with your added efforts to move them off line here n there so they lean into your/my life... area of operation.
worlds
bending to my will.
will power,
a something to hone into a devastatingly powerful tool
im an engineer,
I build create & destroy constantly,
non stop.
i have cast "spells" that can turn energy into anything,
trees into cabinet's, turning steel into living fire breathing speed monsters.
seems it has a name
There are a few people who believe that witchcraft and practical magick practices are highly based off of quantum physics and that magick is the science of energy manipulation, which holds to quantum sciences
I LOOVE how you explained this
I have read several books on Chaos Magick. I have borrowed some ideas to incorporate into my practice. I think your advice is spot on. We have to find our own way. By the way, I think you have lipstick on your shirt.
+Marvin Scott Edmonds Enoch HAH! ;)
***** What I wrote upset you. For that I am sorry. Maybe now you are realizing that magick is not for you. Perhaps, slowly at first, on an unconscious level you are beginning to know that your answers are elsewhere. Namaste, champ. We will see you on the flip side.
i love listening to your thoughts on this topic, and i agree it is time to bust the myths. thank you for your contributions to this conversation! my very first intro to "formal" magick (that is, with a k) was with chaos magick, and specifically. for the longest time, I never knew it actually had a label, nor did I ever know there was any other kind of practice.
Thank you so much! I'm just beginning my exploration of chaos magick theory and I love connecting it with Chaos theory in science and mathematics: thinking of the concept of chaos as unpredictability, systemic thinking (instead of linear thinking), and 100% pure potentiality. Through the lens of chaos, the individual person can affect change in his/her environment that can go way beyond the individual level. And the principal of self similarity and fractals and their implications for how the individual relates to the Whole ("as above so below...") It's so empowering!
+StudentWitch *principle* (not "principal")... I always mix those two up!
"One chaos bitch in a sea of chaos bitches"
Make a t-shirt!❤️❤️❤️
Ok. I'm on a "shirt" kick I guess. Can we just talk about that blouse? Who made that for you? Your lips matched your shirt!
PS: loved the quote at the end so very much!
This video is brilliant. You are brilliant. The dark pool of possibility, dark matter, black holes, new moons, the unknown, Kaala and Shiva. Beautiful
I have listened to all your Chaos Magick videos over these past years. Still not tired of coming back to see them again, from time to time.
I've always heard the phrase "chaotic magic" but never had much of an idea of what it was about. Thank you so much for this informative video! I like the image of the swirling energies before the universe, as we know it, was created and all the possibilities contained within, all the variables!
I’ve only just found your videos about Chaos Magic & I wanted to thank you very much for the clear way that you explain things. I’ve always had a hard time with labelling myself & my practice apart from knowing that I am a witch. I am just coming to realise that I need to explore Chaos Magic because so much of what I organically already do clicks with how you are explaining it in your videos. I’m 53 & wish I’d explored this sooner but sadly a spiritual mentor I worked with really put me off doing so with what I now realise was total misinformation. Thank you again xxx jane
Off topic, but brilliant that your lipstick matches your shirt! Kelly Ann, you're just so cool!
Awesome. I think the introduction by Phil Hine to the later edition of Prime Chaos is a really great nuanced essay on the potential pitfalls of chaos magic as it's typically understood, as well as its strengths.
+Rachel Kelly Totally!
I've started with Liber Null, thanks for the other recommendations. As a musician, and being fascinated by Austin Osman Spare, I've always enjoyed the idea of combining "magick" and "art" (Well, these words mean the same thing to me, but the combination with music is not so obvious as it is with the visual arts in society). I'm loving your videos and random subtleties of yours like occasionally using the expression "one stop shop". Got a new fan :) Have a nice year! By the way, what do you think about combining chaos magick and Astrology? Like creating the "birth chart" of a servitor or applying astrological traits for them to help with a certain task, or using astrological moments for enchanting or enhancing anything. I've always wanted to devise my own "system of magick" based on Astrology, and perhaps with a touch of music / audio sigils. What do you think?
These are some very good ideas. Would you be interested in creating a personal symbology for the English alphabet?
Beautiful explanation of the difference between Eclectic Witchcraft and Chaos Magic. I stumbled onto Kelly-Ann and really admire her deep understanding and ability to describe these abstract theories into neat, tidy ideas. I'm thoroughly enjoying many of her other vids as well. :)
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I've probably watched all of your videos, and when I manifest the funds I'm getting your 29 shadows and self love work! Thank you! Sending so much gratitude your way.
+Brittany Osborne honestly, I've legit watched 'em all!
This is an awesome kick ass video! I was not sure before but this eclectic witch might just also be a chaos witch...I watched this and your older Chaos videos and will definitely be diving and exploring more...Thanks and blessed be!
Love the shirt :)
That is how I got here. I always called myself eclectic, I then found i have been actually practicing chaos magic all along.
This was informative as I don't know much about this subject. Thanks for sharing.
Maybe...we all are all ready insane and practicing chaotic magiq brings us to some definition of normality.
Going through your backlog and reimbibing your chaos magick content ♡ love it so much and would *love* to hear your current thoughts on the topic of chaos ❣❣❣
lol "It was filmed on a potato." Just hanging out after work, shoving an entire sleeve of Chips Ahoy! cookies in my mouth, watching Kelly-Ann. I mean, you know. Just normal stuff.
This is absolutely fascinating to me. I had heard about chaos magick but never looked into it nor was I drawn to it. Right now, I'm pretty rooted in eclecticism, but who knows. One day when I figure shit out, maybe I'll want to start all over again and try on some different shoes. The idea, the concept of that shedding is definitely very attractive to me. I'm in the middle of a total spiritual overhaul right now, but once that's done, even just for the knowledge/exploration of other paths/structures (or destructures?), I'm definitely going to check out those books you recommended.
asfhajerf23rjbjashdgjhgfjhg!! BOOM. You hit so many nails on the head here. Particularly, the "ugh you're a chaos *insert noun here*, aren't you just so chaotic? Isn't it ironic that you've got your spirituality mapped out on spreadsheets?" and yeah... the difference between eclectic practitioner and a chaote. Something I haven't written about but something that has come up as something to address.
I was wondering there were a few extra hits on my blogs and not just cicadas and tumbleweeds! Thank youuuu and I look forward to watching more.
Spell jar>>>>> I made a spell jar for integration and one for caterpillar to butterfly imagery. I deal with hallucinations and panic attacks. My goal is to work with them in a shamanistic manner. Since I did the spell jars, the hallucinations came through as personified music, or vibrations. When I answer their communications, I feel as though I am raising a vibe.
They often have something to communicate to me. They're still too hard to manage by myself, but my therapist is a Buddhist witch!!!!!
A considerable amount of shamanic magick entails the use of entheogens. Shamanism is a major part of Chaos Magick - both conceptually and by extension practise. I have used sex, drugs and a plethora of taboo practiques to enhance my power - however, my star pupil also has reservations about doing this.
Anyone can practice magick - not everyone is Mozart.
Gaaaaaaaah! I'm so excited! I'm an aspiring chaote, myself! :D
How's that worked out
“Punk … fuck you” that brought a smile to my face. That’s the spirit of it all… and today you have brought enlightenment back without me being ready for it.. enigmatic I know, but fitting. Thank you
this was so insanely insightful and powerful, the idea of leaving behind everything you know to be just to invoke the influx of new wisdom, is so fucking awesome. are there any other book that you recommend for someone interested in the idea of chaos magic? other then the one you have already shown.🌛
Hey there you wondrous woman! Greetings from Finland. I've been on the magical path for little over 20 years, been really intense for about 7 years now.. I did some magical working about a week ago because I've been feeling stuck in my life, the magical the spiritual, psychological, on all levels kind of... And you pop up! Been watching your videos and it all resonates so much and I feel like I'm getting a good kick in the butt :) Just wanted to say thank you so so much for being an inspiration! Keep it up :)
+Maria Salama Heyyy there - thanks for letting me know that this video has been useful and say 'hello' to Finland for me - I hope to visit one day!
"Chaos Magick is not another term for Eclectic Witchcraft."
YES! Thank you. While I try not to get hung up on what anybody else is doing, sometimes I'm like "Weeell, not exactly" when someone (typically in some kind of online forum with no profile picture) is grasping at random labels to express how they operate as magickal practitioners.
ThisWitchyBitch what’s the difference
I'm so upset that I can only put one thumbs up sign on this video. I want many thumbs up! Please do more of these, this is the first time I've really felt "yes, this is me". Thank you also for the connection to The Chaos Witch.
Kelly ...you can really talk!!! I love you darling you rock chaotically beautifully ... Just realised I been practicing CHAOS MAGIC for most of my life ..HU!
+IDUNN'S APPLE I am guilty as charged when it comes to talking the hind legs off a dead donkey, OMG! Imagine LIVING WITH ME! I'm joking, I am also very good at listening, haha!
thank you so much for this Kelly, so much information to bite into here. thanks for taking the time to share your references
+SkogenWhisper You're so welcome - thanks for checking it out. :)
should i consider myself a chaos witch because i practice magick within an original structure? i use self made symbols to sort of map everything out.
that's sigil magick which is very heavy in chaos magick
Maybe you would like to create a symbology based on the English alphabet
@@palmskrymme it's interesting to me that you say that. My Oracle deck has 26 main symbols like the alphabet has 26 letters. I like to loosely see something here-- with all the rest of my decks symbols heh.
I vibe so much with the chaos philosophy and I feel like I might have been doing it unconsciously for a long time. there is nothing contradictory about choosing to structure your book of chaos in a certain way. we need to be able to record and then reflect later in a way that makes sense to us.
Love this video but really dig your shirt. It screams Rosalind! Rosalind Russell had a dress similar she wore on the movie The Woman 1939, but I am guessing you may you already know this. 💜💜💜
I read Condensed Chaos, watched your vids, and nothing more. I felt I had to get into it before getting cozy on the armchair. in a strange way my unlived life- acting.. that thirst is quenched with chaos magick. I am a newb with it but it's how I feel. ha! edit to add: you mentioned acting too. ha! right on. :)
In Taoism chaos is called WuJi in Rune Lore its known as the Wyrd interesting how East meets west where universal concepts intersect and the oneness of all things in chaos
a very lovely video as always! :D "one chaos bitch in a sea of chaos bitches" ha! you're a marvelous soul and your opinions are grrreat like frosted flakes.
Did those two things and think I went insane a couple times as well.
But it had nothing to do with chaos magik, I did it because I liked and because I could.
For chaos magik I think it has much more practical uses in your life than just indulgence in hedonism.
Chaos magik is more useful to accept certain things as broken but perfect the way they are, to not rely on overly complicated ritualism as magic is around you everywhere, you don't necessarilly need anything but intention if you don't want to use sigils and such.
Here is a thing if anyone is interested in trying, but I warn beforehand that it can be very painful depending on who you are and what do you believe.
Start by picking your positive beliefs, the ideas you believe that are good and that people usually say it's a good trait about you.
Now analise why you have those ideas.
Are you generally good or does these ideals you have also benefit you in any way?
Are you doing things primarilly out of generosity and good will or are you just praising your ego and acting out of selfishness?
Even if it's the second option, you shouldn't be afraid or ashamed of it, that's just you.
Now go deeper, it's time to confront the things that you try to hide from everyone else, things you tried to lock in a box and bury it.
Can you accept those things?
If you can't accept can you at least try to change or redirect their intentions to do the opposite they're supposed to?
"Evil" things can be used to do good and "good" things can cause evil as well.
Maybe punching someone in the face is an evil thing to do, but what if the person you punched was about to hurt someone even more than just a punch and you've prevented that from happening?
Having harmony is good, but what if said harmony comes from tyranical imposition?
In chaos lies the infinite possibilty of learning about so many things, and by learning about them you could try to control them, though no control can remain absolute for too long.
I just don't think one should hold too much into any belief if it's too dogmatic though, as dogma might become a hinderance for your own development, if one day I see fit I might leave behind all I've learned.
If one is working with deity worship on their chaos pratices I'd recommend taking a look on the more cthonic side of the greek.
Ultimatly you may dismiss everything I wrote and follow your own idea of chaos as for some reason I have a feeling that the more I learn the less I know, so I might have been saying just a bunch of nonsense and not even realizing it.
I find your perspective on chaos magic refreshing - apart for. Hines and Carroll .. which other books have you found helpful ? ❤
Finally! Someone gets it. Paradigm shifting, baby!
THanks for explaining the difference between eclectic witchcraft and chaos magick- being very new to both i had not understood the difference at all! Super useful video. :-)
Fabulous introduction. Thank you.
Totally off-topic: I've heard you call the 'description box' the 'doobly-doo' a couple of times - are you a Vlogbrothers fan?!
lmao "I'm not an oracle I don't have all the fuckin answers" SUBBED predominately because you speak on this so well 💜
This is wonderfully done, thank you for your time. Very helpful to me right now.
Wait, so it's not involving drugs, orgies and going insane???? Yeah, no.. no! What a bummer, now I need a new hobby. I think I'll become a comedian like Jimmy Carr now, at least then I am sure that these things are included in my life.
No orgies.. Pfff. How dare they not including this? Outrageous!
I totally get what it is....the essence. Very exciting! I’ve studied a lot of things and feel that it does taking a certain evolution to get here.
Thank you for this! Chaos Magick holds a lot of appeal for me :)
I just got liber Null and was shocked to find so much familiarity between it's Philosophy and some practices with that of the shivia and vajra tantric schools. It feels so familiar in some ways in others not so much.
When you say that for example, you leave behind being a practicing Wiccan to become a Satanist, and then later believe in faeries, and so on....is "leave behind" a key concept in chaos magick? For example, I believe in Wiccan concepts, Christian concepts, Satanist concepts, different pantheons, faeries, nordic magick, and my beliefs are all over the place. Would this still be eclectic in the sense that it's certain concepts just pulled together? In contrast, chaos magick would be totally disregarding those concepts and trying out the concepts that you didn't take to or believe in, is that correct?
I probably should have waited to ask that. Watched near the end where you explain that you can be involved in something for as long as it takes until you're absorbed and then move on. That makes much more sense.
+Kelly Spence Awesome. :) It's a fiddly topic, right? I've no doubt that I could have explained it much more neatly to be fair, but in the end I know that I have to just make the damn video instead of overthinking how I'm going to say it. Glad it ended up making sense!
Forget about Magic shit... The point here is your SHIRT!!! AWESOME DESIGN!!!
flippety-gibbet, I love that word :D
Hi Kelly-Ann, great video. I love it.
Kite
I've been told by many people that I'm a chaos witch, I identified as an eclectic witch and can't seem to find the difference as to why they would call me a chaos witch... Hoping your videos help clarify!
sure an interesting video! Thanks so much for the reading. I will need to read more, but it sounds like if I have a good solid physical and emotional foundation, and start slowly is a great way to go because really you yourself are in the driver's seat! I think people have assumptions because they are only thinking about the extremes- but if extremes is your thing, no judgment!
Chaos theory is the reason they can not accurately predict the weather all the time. Small causes can end up causing large changes in the environment. When you throw a sigel into the chaosphere or the TAO (same thing) that little act can cause it to thunderstorm today instead of sunny day like old Doppler told us. If its aimed right.
Bonus points for two uses of "Flibbertigibbet."
Excellent video. A lot of food for thought :)
I am a new Chaos witch. your videos are so beautifully executed. thank you
you're amazing! thank you for clarifying, it was much needed.
This sounds like the Dzogchen and Mahamudra paths of Vajrayana/Tantrayana. Thank you !
Crowley himself is where I got the idea chaos magic is too much. The original edgelord haha. But, I see from this video that I should be researching it more! I've always felt more like an eclectic, but intuition keeps finding chaos for me over and over. Guess I should tune in.
Thank you for introducing me to "flibbertigibbet". Sure to be my new favorite word!
I havent watch'`t the video. What does it mean?
Srry fir the wordz { of ( havent; watch-ed )? }
If you want chaos magic from a female author, Jaq D. Hawkins. The Chaonomicon covers everything that was in Understanding Chaos Magic and a bit more.
The darker, the weirder, the better! Anyone else feel a tingle when you heard that?
I think people hear the word chaos and they've prejudged it, and then listen through that lens and any new information gets thrown out the window to the wayside because it doesn't fit in with that preconceived notion of the word. Only with an open mind, can people then try to understand what chaos is all about.
+Merwenna I wrote that last comment before I had gotten to the end. I love hearing about chaos magic! I've gotten Liber Null and am making my way through that... it's so good. Not sure if I will fully don the title of Chaos Witch, but it's definitely really meaty reading.
Thankyou so much for your links and the book names!
Thanks for this information. There is always more to learn and improve.
what happens when Multiple systems do chaois Magick? or just one headmate/alter/system member? anyone who is, go do and report back to me
That was fun but you should talk about how to do chaos Magick, making sigels, creating servitors, fireing those sigels into the chaosphere, tao , whatever, & let that sucker roll into appearance! Chaos theory involves the butterfly effect. A small action , like stepping on a butterfly can eventually cause major effects in the environment. DATS WAT WE DOO!! We cause changes in the environment in accordance with will!!! Ha ha we are so damn cool 😎
All the world's a stage>>>>>
Using resonance, I decided that my world was made of backstage and onstage areas, about twenty years ago. This theory reminded me of the butterfly theory that you so succinctly mention. I call it "sens"
Excellent video. Thank you for your insights.
This video is pure gold. Thank you! Blessed be.
I’ve tried to read Carroll & Spare et. al. and I just can’t see it through, but, having said that I acquiesce with all the hypertext stuff on Wikipedia Portal. Hesiod’s first Deity was Chaos! I’ve been to the sanitorium in 3x separate countries, done all of the drugs, but never experienced an orgy (maybe I am too “vanilla”, in that respect?). What if you have a set of practices that don’t produce effective results but you keep doing them anyway?! That’s where I’m at rn.
Wow! You practiced a whole 8 months! You don't claim to be an expert on it. But, here you are being an expert on it.
Chaos Bitch is the perfect username.
I am obviously biased tho.
Maybe I'll just get it tattooed.
Very good logical lecture on Chaos Magick.
I am interested in the use of psychoactive drugs in ritual, especially in LSD or DMT which can bring about ego death. Do you have any thoughts on this?
+SkogenWhisper The thoughts I have on that topic could fill a Bible-size volume, hahahaha! I have never felt that my channel is the appropriate platform for those musings though, so alas - there isn't anything available to that end, I'm afraid. There are lots of meaty discussions to be found on forums and tonnes to read, of course. :)
Thank you lovely. Its something that's been on my mind a LOT recently. I absolutely will dive into the depths of the internet.
+SkogenWhisper Have you checked out Timothy Leary and Terence McKenna, by any chance?
AH yes, I have read on Leary in the past "the most dangerous man in America". My friends are pro-psychadelics, though I have never tried them myself. Since Leary there has not been a vast amount of research into psychadelics, which is a shame. I haven't heard about McKenna, I will certainly swat up now 8-) Thanks Kelly x
Does a chaos witch need to be free of anger?
Fascinating I just want to dive deep into this topic
gotta love fuck you paradigms :P
She sounds identical to dobbie from peep show
It sounds akin to the philosophy of postmodernism in some ways. Where is the realism within Chaos Magick? The potency of the Kia (Chayah) could make any belief system have some result; however, that doesn't indicate that the phenomenal world itself is devoid of realism or that there are no noumena. It does no good to evoke fairies all day long if one is already accustomed to invoke ancient Egyptian deities with precise results. Trying new things all the time is not the point, neither is being bound to a rigid dogma or tradition.The power lies in the disciplined mind but it is expressed in manifestation of self and world through those archetypes that are most relevant to it. Otherwise, in terms of symbols, there are virtually limitless systems one can conceive or adopt to the point of being a nomadic dilettante. The archetypes, symbols, and metaphors are merely representations of the magical reality to which they allude. In the grade of Magus, it is the job of the "cynocephalus ape" to distort every conceivable word of the Magus for all language is incapable of expressing the ultimate nature of reality. It would be far less important what you call yourself rather than what you do.
Basically it's the Jeet Kwan Do of magick.
The feeling i get from chaos magick (as an "outsider") is that it's just really spicy atheism
you are great xD your mannerisms are hilarious
You are fucking amazing!!!!!!!!!
This young women obviously knows what she is talking about, but I don't. It 's got me beat.
People are so crazy. Why do people jump to crazy conclusions lol
you are so awesome. thanks for this.
The big problem with chaos magick theory & practice as it has been written down, as I understand it, and as I figure it to be practiced to this day, has to do with a lack of direction.
Chattering minds chime in to remind me how that's its nature, that its way is simply 'way'. As an initiatory practice, yes. CMT with its own charm ~can~ get you outside the atmosphere, however... Its not designed to do anything else. This system is designed to get you into the next frontier. That's its appeal. Build a ship, find a gate, GO! So this isn't a problem. Now you're using a system that speaks for itself when it tells you its not a system. You are before the gate, now you're on the other side... Okay?? The ship, what gave interest, everything you made and everything you took with you to the other side, this was not by your design, NOT your resources. Its no different than the gate. Which you found. Finders does not make keepers, you were reacting, and were confused, thinking interacting with effects meant doing anything at all. You were along for the journey, riding waves. Waves remind, waves remember. Now you don't belong to the virgins club. And so when you get on the other side, you still rely on the fuels, just like real NASA ships. You may think that is cool. Its okay, its old. NASA ships don't get very far. And eyes aren't everything.
The problem is you. Since you did not design *both* who and what you are, you are s.u.b.j.e.c.t to change, always dealt hand. Your greatest strength, the understanding that you have time on yOur side. This, beyond pleasure.. Is weakness. To be whole & satisfied with strength of being - is neglectful(although probably hereditary). Sensitivity*Reaction. Every void is a gate. Everything has nothing to do with you.
The solution is obvious. Something from nothing. But.. something always comes from something. Modern magick known to the public is dress up, its civilized. Most civilians don't actually know what it means to be civilized. Its called black magic for a reason. Not the shade, no, the figure default. Of course, if all you want to do is have fun, take trips.. Sure. However, if greatness is your ideal. May God have mercy.
Woah. You seem to know so much about me, what I think, what I ought to do and what my intellectual limitations are.. So impressive. Slow clap.
This was not addressed to you then.
Ah this was boss. So much of the chaos ethos sounds like the disruptive logic of anarcho thought, especially when you were talking about hierarchy. I'll also admit to making a face at Chaos in the past as a result of coming across mostly-dickheads, apologies. (These libertarian dudebros, man, they get everywhere.)
Is anybody else loving the term 'flibbertyjibbet'?
