Rev… what is fnord?
As Discordians…we also have a particular love of the word "fnord," which is largely used randomly.
Well my lil Discordians…it breaks down to this..
Certain words are intended to be undefinable and "fnord" is one of them.
First used in Robert Anton Wilson' trilogy, The Illuminati Papers ,
• Fnord is the space between the pixels on your screen.
• Fnord is the "ooo" in varooom of race cars.
• Fnord is the smallest number greater than zero.
• Fnord keeps a spare eyebrow in his pocket.
In Wilson's trilogy, (based on reports from users), truth is revealed to those who know where to look.
The enlightened can see fnord in the empty spaces between unjustified columns of text in newspapers and magazines.
These are Called sticky spots, these spaces are not really blank, but contain fnord,
Can be said that it is visible only to those privy to heavily guarded secrets and occult powers.
Not even the case… you and everyone has the ability to recognize and understand fnord.
Yes…Fans of the novel began using the word as a private joke and the concept spread to many who had never read the book but had no trouble discovering most of the places where fnord must clearly exist.
"fnord" itself) commonly held to be invisible to the conscious mind, but subliminally causing a sense of unease or sudden anger when encountered.
A trigger if you will.
More or less… as kids we were shown or taught words and phrases… then by the theory of conspiracy… they were erased or better yet made invisible to our conscious effort.
In life we come across certain words and phrases and just know that in our lizard brains… we have heard, used and had access to these hidden elements
This triggers a bit of fear… which as any star wars fans know… this leads to anger… which leads to hot cocoa. Lol
But yes.., it bothers us internally because we are sure without a doubt that this is not a lost memory but something that was taken from us.
This would be the fnord theory.
It is very common to run across these fnord triggers in everday life.
When I found out about …fnord.. it gave m a sense of relief.
I know I am a bit off and have funky dunky thoughts… but when I use to get triggered by lapse relocation… I would know that it meant something.
Now there are many of us who feel that fer of not knowing while knowing and it is no beuno…
Now that you have learned a bit about the use of the fnord… may this give you some comfort and relief from the negative burden of not knowing… because they have tried and now you know…
And knowing is not just the battle… it helps fight the war.
My lil Discordians… can you imagine what and how déjà vu plays into the fnord theory… im just saying.

I haven't read your whole blog.
To me it sounds as if someone with a cleft palate is saying the word ford.
