high weirdness by email v2.0  send info and errata to: mporter@nyx.cs.du.edu
----------------------------
This version *supersedes* previous "editions"; they may safely be deleted
without loss of important information.

Warning: Despite the new format - classificiation of resorces by topic -
certain parts of this listing are in a chaotic state. This has to do with the
circumstances of its compilation. Basically, to access the net I have to sneak
into a university lab and telnet to one of my legitimate accounts. I have been
"caught" twice so far and so it's getting a little difficult to maintain the
volume of activity that I'd like to. I have my one opportunity to put things
on an ftp site coming up in a few hours and so I want to "get out" what
information I have *now*, in case I lose any form of access altogether.
SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO ARCHIVE THIS OR REPRODUCE IT, FEEL FREE TO EDIT IT
FOR COMPREHENSIBILITY, RELEVANCE, ETC.

The lIsted topics are:

OFFBEAT BUT ORDINARY RELIGIONS AND "SPIRITUALITY"
PAGANISM AND MAGICK, OCCULTISM, SATANISM
WEIRD RELIGIONS
UFOS AND PARANORMAL PHENOMENA

	    * This site has lots of Crowley texts and gifs, including the
	    *complete* texts of the Book of Lies, Book of the Law, Book 4,
	    Magick in Theory and Practice, Magick Without Tears, and some
	    (or all) copies of the Equinox. (Crowley's magickal journal/
	    zine/publication type thing) All this stuff is in directory
	     /pub/magick/incoming. But there's lots more than Crowley stuff.
	    Check this site out.
[Back to me:]
Also worth perusing are wilson.on.cis, an online conference with RAWilson as
guest participant, and cybercraft, which contains an exposition of Leary's
8-circuit model. ALSO, copies of the Equinox are retailing where I live
for about $700 (for 10 vols.) at present. You could probably make yourself
same money, and do yourself a favor, and violate some sort of copyright law
by printing copies of the Equinox based on the slopoke material.
  In fact the whole slopoke site is just one of the best. They have an old
alt.slack archive (old*slack!), extensive Notes on Kabbala that you won't
find anywhere else, the Principia, and *best of all*: in /pub/incoming they
have the up-to-date version of the Scriptures of V\R (see above). Praise
Pippin!


*** WEIRD RELIGIONS ***

A historical document:

>From: hin9@tank.uchicago.edu (T. Rev)
Newsgroups: alt.slack
Subject: Re: Timelines
Date: 5 Jun 89 00:42:01 GMT
     Given that the SubGeniuses seem to have been corrupted and poisoned
by virtue of their long fight against the Conspiracy (e.g. $tang's 'selling
out', Bob Black's increasing spiritual violence, the martyrdom of St.
Reith, the slow disappearance of many of the church elders, and general
dissatisfaction in the ranks, as well as the predicted Age of the Crowned
and Conquering Bobbie), the time seems right for the appearance of another
mindless, soul-destroying cult.  Since the Discordians came along in 1959,
and the Subs in 1979, 1989 would seem to be the next proper time for a
major cult (so that the geometric series will converge just _after_ the
supposed arrival of the X-ists (giving us needed slack time, of course)).
     In this light, and for research purposes only, not for sale or
prescription at this time, I would like to ask of Mr. Parry a description
of his doctrine of 'Kibology'--a Kibologist Manifesto, as it were.
     So, Mr. Parry, what say you?

NASA Pics Sites
NOTE: the material at these sites is exceedingly voluminous;
I'd strongly suggest just getting the CD-ROMs instead of attempting
to transfer scores of gigabytes of pix and other material.
To access the online catalog of NASA material, CD-ROMS, et cetera:
	telnet nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov
	login as "NODIS"
	no password

Anonymous ftp sites (five):
nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov [128.183.10.4]
	This is a VAX/VMS box, so you must ftp-login as "anonymous".  To get
	a dir listing into a file on your system:
	ftp> dir [...] file_on_your_system
vab02.larc.nasa.gov
     lots of stuff, including Aliens of all colors, and UFO pix (though this
	seems to mirror a lot of what's at phoenix.oulu.fi and has some
	additional material).
ames.arc.nasa.gov
	online copies of what appears to be all NASA's CD-ROMs, and lots of
	GIFs, *.img and *.jpg from most (all?) space missions since Apollo.

Two guys here. Judex <Polybenevolent Omni-Father of Truth In Spandex> worships
squids and spreads their "gospel". Your Heinous is a computer fiend and
headbanger extrodinaire. Trade your weirdness for theirs. B}
Judex is also a music and movie trivia buff, and a good source for such.

>From corleyj@GAS.uug.Arizona.EDU Wed Oct 28 11:31:29 1992
In Robert Anton Wilson's _Illuminatus! Trilogy_, he describes
a process used by Discordians, Erisians and Anarchists against
governments, corporations and in general, The Establishment.
This process involves sending many letters from different
parts of the country/world and is called Operation Mindfuck.
With the advent of e-mail, Operation Mindfucks are much more
easily coordinated.  One such network can be joined by e-mailing
corleyj@gas.uug.arizona.edu.  Networks are set up around
communal responsibility.  Everyone agrees to participate in
everyone else's Mindfuck.  If A helps B Fuck the IRS, then when
B wants to Fuck the Department of Defense, A is obliged to help.
Hail Eris!  All Hail Discordia!



*** STRANGE INDIVIDUALS ***

   I dunno if it counts but we have a really vocal, extreme right-wing
paranoid fundamentalist Christian who got a Bboard named after him out
here at CMU.  He frequently posts more than four posts in a day and we
already have somebody at MIT mocking the guy and it may be a national
thing because this guy is 100% all-American Christian fundie right wing
nutso.....
    Anyway,  the Bboard is assocs.collegerepublicans.intolerant_assholes
@ andrew.cmu.edu and our "friend" is Dave Byler: db7n @ andrew.cmu.edu
    He may not be weird enough for this list,  but he responds to
EVERYTHING and claims such things as:
    1.  There is an International Communist Conspiracy
    2.  Sen. Macarthy was right
    3.  Al Gore plans to save the earth by depopulating it
    4.  Liberalism = Nazism
    5.  You're all going to Hell
Maybe he is weird enough....

lojban
    Contact: lojban-list-request@snark.thyrsus.com  (John Cowan)

    Purpose: To use, discuss, and contribute to the development of the
    constructed human language called Lojban (known in earlier
    versions as Loglan).  Lojban has a grammar based on predicate
    logic, and vocabulary built from the six most widely spoken human
    languages.  It is intended as a tool for experimental linguistics,
    as a medium for communication with computers, and as a possible
    international auxiliary language.

    Lojban-list is an unmoderated mail reflector.  New subscribers are
    asked to send their postal mailing addresses as well, so that they
    can be placed on the mailing list of The Logical Language Group,
    Inc., a non-profit organization.  The postal mailing list provides
    materials that are useful in learning about the language.
    Lojban-list and LLG, Inc. are in no way affiliated with The Loglan
    Institute, Inc., or with James Cooke Brown, the founder of Loglan.

    Purpose: A mailing list for discussion of the philosophy of
    Objectivism. This is not a general Objectivism mailing list;
    discussions are restricted to the philosophy itself.

[also look for tal.philosophy.objectivism - the vote may still be going on in
news.groups as you read this]

    Purpose: The discussion of the works and life of Philip K. Dick
    (1928-1982), one of the world's most unusual science fiction writers.
    Topics include his books and stories, and books and stories about him
    and his life; however, discussion can (of necessity) branch out into
    the nature of reality, consciousness and religious experience.

*** SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ***

alife
    Contact: alife-request@cognet.ucla.edu
 
    Purpose: The alife mailing list is for communications regarding
    artificial life, a formative interdisciplinary field involving
    computer science, the natural sciences, mathematics, medicine and
    others.  The recent book _Artificial Life_, Christopher Langton, ed.,
    Addison Wesley, 1989 introduces the scope of artificial life as a field
    of study.  Alife was chartered in February 1990 at the Second Artificial
    Life Workshop, held in Santa Fe & organized by the Center for Nonlinear
    Studies at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Santa Fe
    Institute.  The list is intended primarily for low-volume, high-content
    scientific correspondence and as a publically accessible forum for the
    interested members of the public.  Membership as of July 1990 includes
    over 1,200 addresses on four continents.  There is an FTP-accessible
    archives/repository of past traffic, software and papers.  The list
    is maintained by the Artificial Life Research Group, Computer Science
    Department, Lindley Hall 101, Indiana University Bloomington, IN 47405.
    There are conditions on redistribution of the list in order to minimize
    any misunderstanding or exaggeration concerning this new area of study.

    spaces, etc).
 
    Membership is restricted to those doing active research in
    simulated annealing or related areas.  Current membership is
    international, and about half of the members are published
    authors.  The list itself is unmoderated.

    Purpose: Cryonic suspension is an experimental procedure whereby
    patients who can no longer be kept alive with today's medical
    abilities are preserved at low temperatures for treatment in the
    future.  This list is a forum for topics related to cryonics,
    which include biochemistry of memory, low temperature biology,
    legal status of cryonics and cryonically suspended people,
    nanotechnology and cell repair machines, philosophy of identity,

    Purpose: The unifying characteristic of the list recipients is
    their latest interest in anarchocapitalist politics, techniques
    of life extension (including cryonics), the technological extension
    of human intelligence and perception, nanotechnology, spontaneous
    orders, memetics, and a number of other related ideas.  If these
    topics seem to you to be naturally related and mutually consistent,
    you might already be an Extropian.

    network or neuromorphic system).  Topics include both
    connectionist models (artificial neural networks) and biological
    systems ("wetware").  Back issues and limited software is
    available via FTP from cattell.psych.upenn.edu. The Digest is
    gatewayed to USENET's comp.ai.neural-nets.
i've seen one copy - looks like a place where a number of the major
researchers can be found - eg first msg in the issue i read was from michael
arbib


physics
    Contact: physics-request@qedqcd.rye.ny.us (Mike Miskulin)

    Purpose: Physics is a newly created digest to cover current
    developments in theoretical and experimental physics.  Typical
    topics might include particle physics, plasmaphysics,
    astrophysics.  Discussions related to all branches (large and
    small) of physics are welcome.


- theoretical physics pre-print list
You can get papers on general relativity & quantum cosmology from
gr-qc@xxx.lanl.gov, high energy physics [theoretical] from
hep-th@xxx.lanl.gov. Send Subject: help. *I* think physics is weird enough
to deserve a listing here. (Most papers written for people with TeX or
LATeX, so be prepared for the equations to be even harder to understand
than usual.) - mail gr-qc@xxx.lanl.gov with subject line "get 9210011" and
explode your mailbox! this is a paper all about problems to do with time -
technical and conceptual - in quantum gravity.

*** SOME FTP SITES ***

141.214.4.135 (The Site Which Must Not Be Named)
an up-and-coming home of online weirdness, by the look of it - an ftp site
of underworld industries - also info on 'alternative media / alternative
music' network in /proj/amam - try get repdir to see who you should contact
e-zine lunatic fringe and others stored, along with high weirdness by email,
a 'stream-of-consciusness' project - a lot of this stuff i couldn't access
properly owing to difficulties at MY end, but it all seems promising. some
words from the guy who runs it:
>welp, i would give you the alphabetic address/name of the site IF THERE
>WERE ONE!  you see, we get a pool of about 30 (more if we need) IP
>addresses to do with as we please.  the big boys upstairs (actually in
>another building) who are in charge of assigning names will only do so
>if they are "important" (mail servers, BIG machines).  the pool we have
>are all SUPPOSED to just be for individual (DOS/mac) workstations.
>however, i skimmed one of and made it the "pirated" uwi ftp site!! voila!
>sorry!
>
>as for my blurb (by the nameless site!) you can include something like:
>underworld industries (uwi) is dedicated to exploring new (or old) and
>exciting experimental and [arguably] creative uses for technology.  oh
>yeah, and we even like the old-fashioned experimental arts, too. (like
>underground press, graphic arts, video, etc.)  check out the docs/uwi

    Contact: ae852@yfn.ysu.edu (Jovan Weismiller)

    Purpose: This list is under the aegis of l'Alliance Monarchists 
    and is dedicated to promoting the cause of traditional monarchy
    and the Counter Revolution.  We believe in government based on
    natural law principles, decentralization, subsidiarity, an economy 
    based on the principles of distributive justice, and the defense of 
    traditional Western values.

    We believe in a Europe, United, Traditional, and Free from the
    Atlantic to the Urals, but we oppose the centralizing bureaucracy
    of the Maastricht treaty.  While we are based in the US, we are 
    affiliated with L'Alliance pour la maintenance de la France en Europe, 
    and we have members, as well as fraternal relations with the monarchist
    organizations, in most Western European countries.

    We work for the strengthening of existing monarchies, the restoration
    in those countries with a monarchist tradition, and the building up
    of an infrastructure appropriate to the instuaration of monarchy in
    those countries without a living monarchist tradition.

home of luigi - bob drake - editor/assembler of taproot, "a quarterly
publication of independent, underground, and experimental language-centred
arts..." who have put out over 40 collections of such - now taproot is
experimentally going online with a collection of zine reviews. i have seen
issue #0, part 1, which contains those reviews; i am not a zine person
myself (i have my hands full with what i'm getting over the net!!) but
some of the stuff reviewed looked really interesting. there's also reviews
of poetry chapbooks (?) (unseen) and future issues will include mailart
sections. [speaking of which, is there such a thing as internet mailart
yet?] send a request and luigi-bob will mail you with whatever he has.
worth getting. and say you liked it if you did (same applies to all these
people); feedback is essential at this stage of development.

    Purpose: Discussion devoted to the programming language integral
    to the TinyMUSH subfamily of mud servers.  (See the rec.games.mud

DragonMUD 134.114.64.6 4201

Trippy MUSH - 128.153.16.13 7567 - not a mud/mush/muck/moo fan myself
but this might be the one that gets me addicted. [well, not, as it turned out]
this is a really interesting place! others that have been recommended to me
but which i have not seen are Cyberion City (michael.ai.mit.edu, dont know port
number) and Global MUSH (lancelot.cif.rochester.edu 4201). read
rec.games.mud if you're interested in this sort of thing

*** IRC ***

I know very little about IRC, but through the FutureCulture mailing list [see
"CYBERPUNK AND THE NEW EDGE"] I have learned of channels #future, #drugs
[featuring a LearyBot] #CyberPunk featuring a CyberBot.
bbs chatsubo.nersc.gov has a global IRC server [login bbs, then new to crate
account]

cyberpunkRPG
    Contact: cyberrpg-request@veritas.com

    Purpose: The cyberpunk mailing list is primarly for the

    limited to any game system.  Subjects of a peripheral nature are
    welcome as long as they don't get out of hand.  There is one
    rule on this mailing list: the moderator gets to add new rules at
    will.

dark-shadows
    Contact: shadows-request@sunee.waterloo.edu (Bernie Roehl)

    Purpose: Dark Shadows was a daily soap opera that ran on ABC in
    the late sixties (ending in 1971).  It had a Gothic feel to it,
    and featured storylines involving witchcraft, vampires, werewolves
    and the supernatural.  It was (appropriately enough) "brought back
    from the dead" by NBC for a single season last year. It also
    spawned two feature films, a series of paperback novels, and lots
    more; the series is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
    There are a number of international fan clubs for the series, but
    so far there has been no newsgroup or (electronic) mailling list
    devoted to it.  Now there is.
