Not to be Confused with Confucianism...No actually...Go Ahead. Confuse Them

Officially recognized by The Avenue of Small Gods.

Confusionism. What is it? What's the point? Why should you want to be a part of it? The answers to these questions are not simple and, in all likelihood, do not exist. But then, how can we be sure that anything really exists, except in our minds? Sure, there is evidence that reality exists, but how do we know that this evidence is not just in our heads? And even if it could be proven, could it then be proven that the evidence which proves the evidence actually exists? And if so, does that necessarily mean that the evidence which proves the evidence which proves the other evidence is actual evidence?

Confused?

Good.

Only through confusion can we ever hope to make sense of anything for confusion, itself, is its own form of sense which has little to do with the actual, arguably nonexistent world.

One of the easiest forms of confusion is the creation of nonexistent words. The confusion is generally increased when these non-words sound like real (arguably existent) words. This can be a word that has a similar sound as a "real" word (i.e. stayre) or a word which doesn't exist but sounds like it could (words fitting into this category generally vary from person to person).

Dress Nice

Altering one's appearance can greatly increase the confusion of others. Try dressing as your favorite superhero. Better yet, create your own superhero and dress as him/her. This way, in addition to being confused as to why you are dressed unusually, people will also be confused as to just who you are supposed to be dressed as. Some confusing things to wear could be a funny hat, weird sunglasses, hamburgers, or nothing at all.

New Friends

Walk up to people you don't know and say something to them. This works particularly well if you can convince the stranger that they should know you from somewhere. Try reminding them of that night down at the local 7-11. Convincing the person that they owe you money is generally frowned upon, as the search for profit generally tends to detract from one's confusion duties.

Stare at the Wall

People will wonder what you're looking at and, if you're lucky, they'll stop and stare, too.
