So pataphysics is a meme, right?

>>9915002
No, luckily the masses are still ignorant of Pataphysics. Probably best we keep it that way before /pol/ decides it's a jew conspiracy and Peterson decides it's to blame for gender non-conformity.

>>9915083
What I mean is that it's just a joke.
There's nothing to "get".
Right?

Who /LIP/ here?

>>9915084
What a question. I'd suggest reading all of Jarry's work, but I don't know that would answer your question. And this would be true of any topic and any writer. Absolute certainty that you can dismiss a subject is impossible.

(but luckily for you, Pataphysics is precisely the science of impossible solutions)

That's going to cost a lot of money, OOP.

First, read "Gestes et opinions du docteur Faustroll, pataphysicien" by Alfred Jarry.

>>9915124
I will.

If you first tell me if I'll be doing it for enjoyment or because there is a point to it.

Not just a meme... THE MEME.

Nobody takes this kind of shit seriously but people involved in theater - the worst kind of degenerate. Theater is a playground for demented frenchmen.

Andrew Hugill's
'Pataphysics

is a good enough introduction.

reading the wiki just hammers it home for me - both Discordians and Pataphysicians promote their own meme-calendars. Makes me wonder if that basic idea was cribbed by Discordia from pataphysics.

'Pataphysics is the strong but silent type. There are ways in, but forget about it.
