Operation MindfuckIn the Illuminatus trilogy of novels, Operation Mindfuck (with the word mindfuck coming from abusing the expression "screwing with your mind") is a global, decentralized plot initiated by the Discordians that aims to keep the unwitting public in a haze of confusion. Given Discordians, it is said to be a running joke, a clever pun, five tons of flax, almost but not completely unlike a duck, a labotomy, and fnord. Every now and then, Discordianists claim responsibility for a particularly obfuscated, confusing or counter-productive governmental or industrial act. As usual, part from the fun comes from the realization that the concept is not falsifiable. Not simply intended to confuse the general populace, OM is often used to make people question the parameters of their reality tunnel or their accepted paradigm. The idea is that tearing down the walls that people build around their minds will force them to come to the realization that they can create their own paradigms.
