I thought this was cheery and pretty and freaky enough to make a pretty sweet Unicorn Chaser, and I dunno about you but I need a double this week, so here it is. Since it’s Anonymous in trippy format, I thought immediately of Ethersec. Ethersec, you may or may not know, is Anonymous‘ attempt to hack religion.
From my post on the DailyDot:
The posting [says] that everyone is an agent of change, and that EtherSec is a collective of specially gifted people whose talents “allow us to perceive the reality outside of the matrix.”
If you remember your Matrix trilogy, effectively it [is saying] everyone is Neo. There is just enough unspecific appeal to the spirit and promise of action to pique interest.
The manifesto goes on to outline a word salad of spiritualism, quantum physics, and nerdery that will surely tug at the heartstrings of any Westerner who feels there’s something wrong with the world and yearns for a spiritual alternative, but who cannot tolerate organized religion. That’s a pretty sizable number of people.
So, if yoga and Occupy aren’t doing it for you, maybe up the ante and try Tai Chi and Ethersec. If nothing else, NOBODY will be able to one-up you at brunch at Sophie’s.
I’m in! Oh, wait, that means I might have to renounce my devotion to crypto-Gnosticism, Pastafarianism, Nuwaubianism, cryptozoology (not sure this is a religion anymore…?), Scientology (no great loss) and the Prince Philip Movement. This last one may be the hardest of all. I feel a great spiritual connection with the people of the island of Tanna…
Come on, come on! Nobody gets more than three religions. Not during months with an R in them!

“Come on, come on! Nobody gets more than three religions” — I do, I’m the spiritual 1%!
Let them eat bread?
Are these Ethersec guys aiming at the transubstantiation of revolution? I gather more like the revolution of transubstantiation…
They are definitely into the transubstantiation of the English language, but we have not yet determined into WHAT.
