President Nyarlathotep Is Simply Engaging in Classic “Mad Outer God” Negotiating Tactics “This is classic Negotiating 101 courtesy of the Faceless God himself. Sure, he may have kicked it up a notch from ‘sheer madness’ to ‘abject depravity,’ but...

"We all know he’s the Crawling Chaos, and that title implies a certain degree of unpredictability. But even for him, his vow to “gorge on the carcass of humanity itself” unless his latest (albeit nebulous) demands are met is pretty intense."

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You  know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.

It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Alt-text: A trading-card-style illustration with a black border and the title “Principia Discordia” in large tan letters at the top. In the central panel, two cartoonish, counterculture-looking adults sit at a cluttered desk piled with papers. On the left, a blonde person with long straight hair, round glasses, and a green outfit smiles while sorting documents. On the right, a gray-haired person with a goatee and a purple sweater grins while holding up a freshly printed page under a yellow desk lamp, presenting it like a reveal. The page shows a geometric spiral/rose-like symbol. The background wall is covered in pinned sketches and notes, including doodles and the phrase “ERIS LIVES,” adding to the Discordian chaos aesthetic—Order (paperwork, systems) and Disorder (messy collage, irreverent slogans) coexisting as expressions of deeper Chaos.

Below the image is a pink text box with verbatim card text:
“The original manuscript . . .
Each Weird group in your Power Structure increases its Resistance by 1 for every Weird group you control. So, if there are a total of 5 Weird groups in your Power Structure, each one gets +5 to its Resistance.”

At the bottom, in italicized text: “Unique Artifact.”

Heritability is a statistical description of sources of trait variation in a specific set of people under a specific set of environmental conditions. It doesn’t show how malleable the trait is, doesn't index an underlying feature of human biology, & can’t say anything about you as an individual.
