The Blasphemer's Guide to Blaspheme
Madness:
And with this post I complete one and begin another of my many dreams.
This is the consolidated monstrosity of most of the relevant content discussions of R. Scott Bakker's The Second Apocalypse on George R.R. Martin's Westeros Literature subforum over the past decade.
My thought for this thread is that we might come together as a greater fandom of two forums and suss out the wisdom of the Westerosi Bakker noosphere a la A Song of Ice and Fire's The Heretic's Guide to Heresy.
I will slowly begin to go through the below threads to see if I can find the general themes, arcs, etc, of our collective descent into delusion. I will perpetually update this thread as I can and as others (hopefully) participate in my mad endeavour.
It is my hope that following or during the completion of this damned journey, I might find volunteers to aid me in writing a version of HERESY 100 for The Second Apocalypse.
Also, I will be removing/adding threads from this list as I figure out which ones are not speculation on content specifically. I know I missed a few in my endless search. As well, for instance, the Neuroscience, Humanity & Some Occasional Bakker as well as the Bakker and Women threads are debatable inclusions as are any review, preview, or recommendation threads.
Cheers.

sologdin:
very nice compendium.
is a blaspheme like a phoneme and a grapheme?
Aural:
Nice idea. I'd say keep the B&W threads, it's all part of the Bakker discussion canon after all.
To clarify, are you going to start discussing specific posts and ideas from those threads?

Thanks.
Lol - I think it's probably more like a grapheme ;). I did feel weird about the name but between dissenter's dissent and blasphemer's blaspheme (rather than blaspheming), I felt to blaspheme was best in context of the series and as a nod to Heresy.

Check out the linked Heretic's Guide and HERESY 100 above, Ashtinahgma. In the Heretic's Guide someone went through many of the later perpetual Heresy threads and provided a brief description of the dominant discussion in each specific thread. In HERESY 100 a number of Westerosi members wrote little essays consolidating seven of the major speculative threads.
That is what I hope to accomplish here. But feel free to comment on interesting notation, etc, etc, and if conversation pertaining to one specific idea becomes too extensive we can move the posts to more appropriate threads.
