Paradigm piracy is embraced mostly by practitioners of chaos magic, though it is also popular among Discordians.[1] The idea is that belief is a tool that can be applied at will rather than unconsciously. The chaos star (called a chaosphere by some practitioners) is the most popular symbol of chaos magic. ...
