The chaos magician's meta-model, his/her worldview that "sees through the game", is still a model. It's maya all the way down. That is all.

(or at least, it's useful to me at the moment to act as if that is true.)

In other news, Queen of Wands is *so* not our house comic anymore. Bastards.

Yea, verily, order out of chaos, wot wot

And all that shit (ever notice a chaos star has radial, rotational, and several linear symmetries?).

Yes, yes, and 8 is frequently assigned a function of orderliness and ambition - bureaucracy, even. Noo ni noo ni noo. :-P

You will not impose your gormenghastliness on me, penguinboy.

You've read Titus Groan too?

Huh! You're gaining points by the minute.

No, actually, I haven't. I did see the BBC mini-series, but was informed by aforementioned penguin boy that the book was perhaps not worth the effort required, as he felt the mini-series was pretty solid on the story, and I wasn't missing much. Have you seen the thing? Do you think it's worth it to crack the books?

I have the mini-series on DVD, but I have not watched the whole thing. I have read the books, and in my opinion, they are among the best works ever written in English. I give them my highest possible recommendation.

Heh. Well then. I'll have to pick them up and investigate further before [livejournal.com profile] triadruid takes them back to the library.
