That’s right, people, Bronies have attempted this experiment before us… Love and Tolerance have walked around the world in the time it took Reason to put its boots on?
Rational_Brony implying being a brony would otherwise imply irrationality implying liking ponies is unusual on LW implying defining yourself by what TV shows you like is rational implying rationality is best defined as an achievable, permanent state and not a theoretical ideal
Er, that’s, like, totally not what I meant at all. Death Of The Author for the win?
EDIT: To specify, I was looking for the most anonymous, unassuming handle possible. One that could represent anyone here. While still being somewhat memorable. “rational_brony” came to mind, because, while few bronies are rationalists, many, many rationalists are bronies.
I meant the experiment of memetically mutating Trey Parker’s “The Book of Mormon” into something that represents (and affectionately parodies) our movement.
But sure, we do, that and that book that everyone’s been waiting for for so long. It had better be at least as good as Robert Greene’s 48 Laws of P...
Now wait a minute. That’s actually an interesting idea. The same way the Prince was “This is how a Prince should act (therefore we shouldn’t have princes)”, and The 48 Laws of Power are “This is how to pull a dick move (so that you can see them coming a mile away)”, we could have a “Suckers: People’s Inherent Lack Of Judgement And How To Exploit It (and now that you know what the most common Logic Failures are, DON’T DO THEM)”.
I believe, that there’s a couple of relevant previous discussions. Hey, one of us used to a missionary!
And I believe there’s a pony fanfic about this called The Book Of Friendship.

I’m working on it (Dark Arts sequence)… It’s taking longer than I anticipated. Perhaps unsurprisingly.
Yeah, you’d be amazed at how wide the human bag of tricks in that department is. Ever heard of the Kansas City Shuffle?
