* split into three parts for your Usenet viewing pleasure! *

=== PART THE FIRST ===

This version *supersedes* previous "editions"; they may safely be deleted
without loss of important information.

Thiis is not a definitive or exhaustive guide to anything; in fact, despite
the name, a lot of this isn't even so "weird". Arguably, the really weird
stuff is swamped in a list of marginally interesting but still useful
ordinary resources; so browse, and read the contents list carefully.

Parts of this document have been adapted or taken from Usenet articles,
fringe-blurbs circulating by email, other net-resource guides, etc. Thanks to
all those info sources. Many of the resources mentioned I have not seen; if I
ever have the time and resources to inspect everything here myself, most
likely I will; in fact for me this document functions in part as a list of
"things I must have a look at one day". At present, however, it's something
of a struggle just to get this posted.

Topics covered in Part I are:

BELIEF SYSTEMS
  - "ordinary" and "offbeat" religions and spirituality
  - paganism and magick, occultism, satanism
  - weird religions
  - the New Age and the Flat Earth
UFOS AND PARANORMAL PHENOMENA
UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS
PHILOSOPHY, THINKING ABOUT THINKING, ETC
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (including EXTROPIANS)
WEIRD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
ETEXT AND ART PROJECTS, ETC
LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE
SOME FTP SITES
FORUMS FOR WEIRDNESS ON INTERNET BBS'S

*** BELIEF SYSTEMS ***

*** 1: "ordinary" and "offbeat" religions and spirituality

"I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as
of a trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What
thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven newsgroup hierarchies
which are in Usenet; unto comp.*, and unto misc.*, and unto news.*, and unto
rec.*, and unto sci.*, and unto soc.*, and unto talk.*."
                from the Revelation of Clarence Thomas IV

Usenet: talk.religion.misc [basically = talk.religion.christian],
and soc.religion.*, alt.atheism[.moderated], bit.listserv.christia, and also
(I think) alt.ahmadiyya. Also talk.religion.newage, alt.religion.kibology.
alt.religion.monica, .scientology, .adm3a, ...
alt.christnet.*, esp alt.christnet.second-coming.real-soon-now;
and the all-new christnet.* hierarchy..

         comments by Anon of Ibid:
            * This site has lots of Crowley texts and gifs, including the
            *complete* texts of the Book of Lies, Book of the Law, Book 4,
            Magick in Theory and Practice, Magick Without Tears, and some
            (or all) copies of the Equinox. (Crowley's magickal journal/
            zine/publication type thing) All this stuff is in directory
             /pub/magick/incoming. But there's lots more than Crowley stuff.
            Check this site out.
[Back to me:]
Also worth perusing are wilson.on.cis, an online conference with RAWilson as
guest participant, and cybercraft, which contains an exposition of Leary's
8-circuit model. ALSO, copies of the Equinox are retailing where I live
for about $700 (for 10 vols.) at present. You could probably make yourself
same money, and do yourself a favor, and violate some sort of copyright law
by printing copies of the Equinox based on the slopoke material.
  In fact the whole slopoke site is just one of the best. They have an old
alt.slack archive (old*slack!), extensive Notes on Kabbala that you won't
find anywhere else, the Principia Discordia.

NOTE: the material at these sites is exceedingly voluminous;
I'd strongly suggest just getting the CD-ROMs instead of attempting

In Robert Anton Wilson's _Illuminatus! Trilogy_, he describes
a process used by Discordians, Erisians and Anarchists against
governments, corporations and in general, The Establishment.
This process involves sending many letters from different
parts of the country/world and is called Operation Mindfuck.
With the advent of e-mail, Operation Mindfucks are much more
easily coordinated.  One such network can be joined by e-mailing

   I dunno if it counts but we have a really vocal, extreme right-wing
paranoid fundamentalist Christian who got a Bboard named after him out
here at CMU.  He frequently posts more than four posts in a day and we
already have somebody at MIT mocking the guy and it may be a national
thing because this guy is 100% all-American Christian fundie right wing

    2.  Sen. Macarthy was right
    3.  Al Gore plans to save the earth by depopulating it
    4.  Liberalism = Nazism

There's a blurb for IdEAL OrdEr which is supposed to go here but I dont seem

with the blinking rates of various TV personalities, mostly newsreaders but
they also 'zapped' the final US presidential debate. They also have an 'art'
aspect which I don't know about. Jeff harrington of IdEAl OrdEr seems to be on
just about every interesting mailing list there is; so although I cant vouch
for the reality of the phenomenon I can say that IO is definitely hip to a lot
of things....

why bother with esperanto?      [unmoderated]
    Purpose: To use, discuss, and contribute to the development of the
    constructed human language called Lojban (known in earlier
    versions as Loglan).  Lojban has a grammar based on predicate
    logic, and vocabulary built from the six most widely spoken human
    languages.  It is intended as a tool for experimental linguistics,
    as a medium for communication with computers, and as a possible
    international auxiliary language.

A. Mallet ([e-mail]) maintains a World Wide Web page of
net.resources pertaining to complex/adaptive systems. Please email him
with corrections and suggestions..
The current list of resources can be obtained by sending mail to
[e-mail], with subject 'cplxsys'.
It is also available via WWW, at the following URL :
        http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/mengwong/cplxsys.html
---from the Mallet list---
FTP SITES
o The ftp site at life.anu.edu.au, in /pub/complex_systems which is further
subdivided into stuff like Alife, CA, Neural Nets etc.
o The  UCLA ftp site at cognet.ucla.edu in /pub/alife  with a fairly extensive
Alife bibliography.
o The ftp site at funic.funet,fi , in pub/sci, which, its maintainers claim,
is the largest ftp site in the world in all subjects ... it has stuff on Neural
Nets, Neurophysiology, Artificial Intelligence and lots of other such
subjects.  A really useful file to look at before anything else is the
file '00INDEX' in the directory pub/sci/neural.
o The ftp site at ftp.cogs.susx.ac.uk, in /pub/reports/csrp : a whole bunch of
PostScript files containing god-knows-what.
o The ftp site at  xyz.lanl.gov in /nlin-sys : this contains preprints of
various papers under the same headings as given later on in this document for
the  *Nonlinear Science Bulletin Board*.
o The  Xerox PARC site at parcftp.xerox.com, in /pub/dynamics,has some papers
on the evolution of cooperative behaviour.
o The Santa Fe Institute has an ftp site at ftp.santafe.edu, in /pub/Alife.
... the Alife part is kind of disappointing, with the only worthwhile thing
there being Tierra. The GA subdirectory /pub/GA/source has a few GA simulators,
and the pub/Users/mm subdirectory has some interesting papers on CA.
o An archive of genetic programming is at ftp.cc.utexas.edu, in
/pub/genetic-programming.

SPECIFIC PROGRAMS/PAPERS
o ftp to life.anu.edu.au, in /complex_systems/alife/tierra. TIERRA, Tom Ray's
amazingly neat digital ecology simulator can be found in a variety of places;
however, the only place that seems to have the paper describing the results of
Tierra is life.anu.edu.au. The paper is called tierra.ps.
o ftp to ftp.apple.com, in /pub/polyworld. POLYWORLD , another neat simulator,
complete with C++ source code written to run on a SILICON GRAPHICS machine and
technical paper describing polyworld. README file has more info.
o ftp to funic.funet.fi, in /pub/sci/neural/genesis. GENESIS :  this is a
program for Neural Network simulation, runs on X11 platforms and is supposed to
have rather good graphics.
o ftp to funic.funet.fi, in /pub/sci/neural/cellsim. CELLSIM, a cellular
automata simulator.
o ftp to funic.funet.fi, in /pub/sci/neural/SNNS. SNNS, a neural network
simulator written at the University of Stuttgart, Germany.
o ftp to life.anu.edu.au, in /pub/complex_systems/alife/life. Game of Life:
there are various Life forms for PCs and UNIX. Files ending in
..zip are for PCs.
o ftp to life.anu.edu.au, in /pub/complex_systems/alife. BUGWORLD simulates a
bug-ecology, with predators and all. File is called  bugworld.tar.Z.
o ftp to life.anu.edu.au, in /pub/complex_systems/alife. L-systems : Aristid
Lindemeyer's L-systems can be used for various neat things, like growing
natural-looking plants out of very simple rules. The file is called
lsys.tar.Z.
o ftp to life.anu.edu.au, in /pub/complex_systems/alife. Biomorphs: I have a
strong feeling that this is Richard Dawkins' program that simulates evolution
of what he calls 'biomorphs'; evolutionary pressure is towards critters that
look  interesting. Unfortunately, it looks like this file is for PCs'; it's
called biomrf.zip

[e-mail]
serious discussion of extropian/upwing ideas such as physical immortality,
anarchocapitalism, postindustrial society etc
    Purpose: The unifying characteristic of the list recipients is
    their latest interest in anarchocapitalist politics, techniques
    of life extension (including cryonics), the technological extension
    of human intelligence and perception, nanotechnology, spontaneous
    orders, memetics, and a number of other related ideas.  If these
    topics seem to you to be naturally related and mutually consistent,
    you might already be an Extropian.

  Summary: Preprint of 1992 IEEE Physics of Computation Workshop paper
           suggesting that AI as goal-directed behavior is non-reversible
           and thus must pay entropic penalties, especially for measuring
           the environment.  Communication, however, may be much cheaper.

NEBULA is Montreal's only specialty SF bookstore.  Open 7 days a week,
we carry virtually every North American SF book in print - including the
specialty presses.  On our shelves are a great number of UK titles and
even some stuff from Australia.

NEBULA offers its customers a wide selection of publications in related
areas of interests, including cyberpunk and cyberculture fiction &
nonfiction, and futurist SF.

NEBULA is now online.  You can now receive our mail-order catalog of
books and magazines via the Internet.  Our catalog contains reviews from the
store's staff and ordering information, indexed by categories.  The
catalog can be accessed in one of two ways:

GOPHER
------
If you have gopher access, the catalog can also be obtained from The
WELL's gopher, under the "Business in Cyberspace" menu.

E-MAIL
------
mail [e-mail] with the subject heading, "catalog".  If you have
access to compression tools, we can send you a compressed and uuencoded
catalog; the three formats we support are ZIP, LHA, and UNIX compress.
For these, send us mail with a subject heading of "catalog-zip",
"catalog-lha", or "catalog-z", respectively.

ftp - wiretap.spies.com
most of the books are kept in /Library/Classic and /Library/Religion

  a list of book reviews may be obtained with
$ finger '[e-mail]'
  and individual reviews extracted similarly
$ finger 'books=[e-mail]'
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  Comments on my reviews are always welcome.  Criticism of any kind
  is particularly appreciated - anything from pointing out spelling
  mistakes to disagreement with the basic assumptions of the review.

*** INFORMATION SERVICES ***
[see also 'net resources']

email [e-mail] for orderinng info re "!%@:: A Directroy of Electronic Mail
Addressing and Networks" (a paper publication)

[e-mail] - amix is american information exchange - they
are apparently an online information market (!?)
- after the last Hwbemail was posted to Usenet the full Amixinfo blurb was
posted, here are some excerpts:
AMIX, the American Information Exchange, is something completely new --
an online Information Marketplace (R).  On AMIX, anyone can both buy and
_sell_ documents, software, or anything that can be stored digitally.
Those who buy or sell customized information can carry out consulting
contracts, even very small ones, easily and profitably.  AMIX handles all
the funds transfer automatically.
This Information Marketplace has been open for business continuously since
January 1, 1992.  Consulting contracts are being made and fulfilled;
document sales are occurring on a daily basis in key markets; and information
providers continue to "stock the shelves" with new goods in all markets.
The AMIX software allows customers to explore the system online with guest
access, and to register their own account online to receive full access.
Customers who open their accounts now will have their monthly fees waived
for the month in which they sign up and for the following month.
To receive the AMIX software disk, enabling guest exploration of the system
and self-registration, contact AMIX by email at [e-mail]
or by phone [phone].
What follows is an overview of AMIX: its concepts, structure, and function;
the market-building phase; and advantages of early entry into the market.
[but i wont include this..]
AMIX, AMIX Service, Information Marketplace, and Information Markets are
trademarks of the American Information Exchange Corporation. All other
product, brand, or company names are trademarks of their respective holders.

before they have the principia discordia?]

NEWSPOSTING by mail - Once upon a time apparently, you could post
to news by mailing ucbvax.berkeley.edu in the format

can now be done through cs.utexas.edu (I think).
Scott yanoff says this is working but I say it isn't. but try one of the
anonymous servers, eg the Finnish one at anon.penet.fi:
"To find out more about the anon service, send mail to [e-mail]."
[also read alt.fan.dick-depew, for information about the ARMM service.]

I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OTHER ANONYMOUS SERVICES LIKE THIS ONE! the one in
Finland is getting overworked, I am sure. Or in general any other news/mail

  that understand its syntax. The whole of the WorldWideWeb revolves
  around use of URLs, but the syntax encompasses also gopher, afs,
  wais, ftp and ALL other type of accesses. The URL syntax is des-
  cribed in

http://info.cern.ch/pub/www/doc/url7a.txt

  (around 47KB), and you can have it sent to you by mailing
  a message

To: [e-mail]

  with the following commands:

www http://info.cern.ch/pub/www/doc/url7a.txt
end

PS. There is also a PostScript version of the same at the same
  location; change trailing ".txt" to ".ps" for that. The same
  directory also holds a

http://info.cern.ch/pub/www/doc/html-spec.txt

  (around 83KB), which is a fairly comprehensive description
  of the HTML syntax used in the WWW.

*** NOT-SO-WEIRD POLITICS ***

The following is a revised list of lists on topics related to politics
and political science (loosely defined), prepared by Gary Klass
([e-mail]) and Scott Cooley ([e-mail]).  Some attempt
has been made to verify the addresses of the lists, but some of these lists
may no longer be active or access may be restricted.  Changes and additions
since the first posting (on or about 9/27/93) are marked by an asterisk.
Deletions from the list list are noted at the bottom.  Anyone having any
additions or corrections to the list list, please send a note to me at the
address at the bottom of this message.

In most cases (exceptions are the Majordome lists and the White House
described below) subscription is done by sending the message:

    Contact: [e-mail] (Jovan Weismiller)
    Purpose: This list is under the aegis of l'Alliance Monarchists
    and is dedicated to promoting the cause of traditional monarchy
    and the Counter Revolution.  We believe in government based on
    natural law principles, decentralization, subsidiarity, an economy
    based on the principles of distributive justice, and the defense of
    traditional Western values.
    We believe in a Europe, United, Traditional, and Free from the
    Atlantic to the Urals, but we oppose the centralizing bureaucracy
    of the Maastricht treaty.  While we are based in the US, we are
    affiliated with L'Alliance pour la maintenance de la France en Europe,
    and we have members, as well as fraternal relations with the monarchist
    organizations, in most Western European countries.
    We work for the strengthening of existing monarchies, the restoration
    in those countries with a monarchist tradition, and the building up
    of an infrastructure appropriate to the instuaration of monarchy in
    those countries without a living monarchist tradition.

issue #0, part 1, which contains those reviews; i am not a zine person
myself (i have my hands full with what i'm getting over the net!!) but
some of the stuff reviewed looked really interesting. there's also reviews
of poetry chapbooks (?) (unseen) and future issues will include mailart
sections. [speaking of which, is there such a thing as internet mailart
yet?] send a request and luigi-bob will mail you with whatever he has.

anti-Clipper Chip petition: [e-mail]

From: [e-mail] (Will Ware)
Newsgroups: sci.crypt
Subject: Seeking kibitzers for encryption idea
Date: Wed, 9 Mar 1994 23:04:14 GMT

I thought up an interesting possible encryption scheme, that should lend
itself to easy, cheap hardware implementation (a possible competitor for
Clipper) but I don't know enough about cryptanalysis to determine whether
it is secure. Anybody interested in taking a whack at it? You can get the
text description, C source, and MS-DOS executable by ftping onto
ftp.std.com and looking in the /ftp/pub/wware directory. I am a much better
logic designer than cryptanalyst, and it was designed to be painlessly
implementable with off-the-shelf programmable logic devices (e.g. Xilinx).
Any comments or suggestions are welcome; I am at <wware.std.com>. Thanks!

" *Please take a
moment to send e-mail to U.S. Rep. Maria Cantwell ([e-mail]) to
show your support of H.R. 3627, her bill to liberalize export controls on
encryption software.*
In the Subject header of your message, type "I support HR 3627." In the
body of your message, express your reasons for supporting the bill. EFF will
deliver printouts of all letters to Rep. Cantwell. With a strong showing
of support from the Net community, Rep. Cantwell can tell her colleagues
on Capitol Hill that encryption is not only an industry concern, but also
a grassroots issue. *Again: remember to put "I support HR 3627" in your
Subject header.*
  If you want additional information about the Cantwell bill, send
e-mail to [e-mail]."

"The US-based keyserver  '[e-mail]' is now open to the public.
...This site is a PGP key server SLAVE site.  It behaves
very similarly to the European PGP master sites..
  "The particular installation at io.com does *not* log the details of
requests for keys, however the fact that you have sent mail to the
key server at all is logged in the daily sendmail logs.  These logs
will be erased automatically after one week."

PGP Public Keyservers
---------------------

There are PGP public key servers which allow one to exchange public
keys running through the Internet and UUCP mail systems.

This service is NOT supported in any way whatsoever by the schools or
organizations on which these servers run.  It is here only to help
transfer keys between PGP users.  It does NOT attempt to guarantee
that a key is a valid key; use the signators on a key for that kind of
security.  This service can be discontinued at any time without prior
notification.

Each keyserver processes requests in the form of mail messages.  The
commands for the server are entered on the Subject: line.

        To: [e-mail]
        From: [e-mail]
        Subject: help

Sending your key to ONE server is enough.  After it processes your
key, it will forward your add request to other servers automagically.

For example, to add your key to the keyserver, or to update your key if it is
already there, send a message similar to the following to any server:

        To: [e-mail]
        From: [e-mail]
        Subject: add

        -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
        Version: 2.2

        <blah blah blah>
        -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

Check the Usenet newsgroup alt.security.pgp for updates to this system
and for new sites.

available: German and Swedish language texts for PGP2.3a.
    black.ox.ac.uk:/src/security/pgp_german.txt
    black.ox.ac.uk:/src/security/pgp_swedish.txt
Both take the form of PGP armoured and signed messages.  They are
*not* encrypted so anyone with PGP can read them.

Extropian ideas (see elsewhere) except that FM's slant is more collectivist in

    Purpose: The NERaves list was started as a North Eastern United
    States/Canada equivalent of SFRaves.  The list provides a forum
    for people to discuss the "rave" music/club/dance scene.  For the
    purposes of the list, "North Eastern" is loosely defined as from
    Chicago --> East and from Washington DC --> North, including
    Ontario, Quebec, and the Mritime Provinces.  People from outside
    this area are welcome, too!  NERaves is an unmoderated list.
