As an Elder Millennial, this talk set off a train of sense memories leading back to Macsweeny’s, arcane Listmania lists on Amazon, and the Athanasius Kircher Society. The latter rebranded as Atlas Obscura sometime before I became old, but after I gave up. Did you ever come across the AKS in its heyday? Nothing is specifically incriminating, and yet I still think of it as my first brush with Discordianism.
