The most applicable (Applicable in that if I could show but one part to the average american and make them understand, it would be this) part of the Principia:
NONSENSE AS SALVATION
The human race will begin solving it's problems on the day that
it ceases
taking itself so seriously.
To that end, POEE proposes the countergame of NONSENSE AS
SALVATION.
Salvation from an ugly and barbarous existence that is the result
of taking
order so seriously and so seriously fearing contrary orders and
disorder,
that GAMES are taken as more important than LIFE; rather than
taking LIFE AS
THE ART OF PLAYING GAMES.
To this end, we propose that man develop his innate love for
disorder, and
play with The Goddess Eris. And know that it is a joyful play,
and that
thereby CAN BE REVOKED THE CURSE OF GREYFACE.
If you can master nonsense as well as you have already learned to
master
sense, then each will expose the other for what it is: absurdity.
From that
moment of illumination, a man begins to be free regardless of his
surroundings. He becomes free to play order games and change them
at will.
He becomes free to play disorder games just for the hell of it.
He becomes
free to play neither or both. And as the master of his own games,
he plays
without fear, and therefore without frustration, and therefore
with good
will in his soul and love in his being.
And when men become free then mankind will be free.
May you be free of The Curse of Greyface.
May the Goddess put twinkles in your eyes.
May you have the knowledge of a sage,
and the wisdom of a child.
Hail Eris.
