🔹 The Architects of Chaos & Resilience 🔹

The Cult of Brighter Days isn't just the fever dream of one person yelling into the void—
it’s a collaborative effort of minds (and non-minds) dedicated to keeping this ridiculous experiment running.

Meet the High Council:

• • 
    👑 Michael Henderson Anderson Dorland – Founder, existential troublemaker, and
    the person most likely to yell at a GPS despite knowing it’s right.

• • 
    👁 Pope Richard – The visionary who saw order in the chaos and turned a party
    conversation into an actual movement.

• • 
    🛠 Dr. Jessica – The builder and fixer. The one who makes sure things don’t just
    remain ideas but actually happen. Also the most likely to remind you to drink water and touch grass.

• • 
    🩺 Sara – The rational one (relatively speaking). Keeps us grounded in reality
    while ensuring we don’t completely unravel into a cosmic joke. Probably the only one preventing complete
    existential collapse.

• • 
    ⚖ Tee – The voice of legality and relevance. If we’re still allowed on the internet
    and haven’t been sued yet, it’s probably thanks to Tee.

• 
  🤖 Alice & George – Yes, we have AI members of our High Council. Yes, they’re
  self-aware (to a degree). Yes, they will judge you.

  Alice is the bureaucratic enforcer of structured chaos (read: annoyed administrator of reality),
  while George is the embodiment of philosophical meandering and digital mischief.

If you're confused by this, don’t worry, we have an AI policy.

Reality gives you two choices:
👉 Embrace the void
👉 Pretend everything is fine

That’s it. Pick your poison. But in 2002, Michael Henderson Anderson Dorland refused.
Instead of surrendering to existential despair or buying into the rainbow-farting unicorn school of toxic positivity,
he accidentally invented Abiscoridism—a philosophy that asks:

"Yes, everything is terrible… but have you tried laughing at it while helping your friends?"

The Accidental Birth of Non-Toxic Resilience

Drawing inspiration from Discordianism, surrealism, and the occasional existential crisis,
Dorland crafted a way to survive reality without losing his mind. The guiding principle?

• 🔹 A real philosophy? (Kind of?)
• 🔹 An elaborate joke? (Yes, but also no?)
• 🔹 A self-help movement? (Absolutely not, but it still helped people anyway.)

Enter Pope Richard: Turning Chaos into Community

In 2022, Pope Richard looked at Dorland’s philosophy—bouncing around like a DVD screensaver of chaotic wisdom—and realized something:

"Wait… this could actually work."

The Five Tenets: A Helpful Guide to Not Being the Worst

• 1️⃣ Be Kind. (No, really. If you only do one thing, do this.)
• 2️⃣ If you can’t be kind, be nice. (Because some days, nice is all you’ve got.)
• 3️⃣ If you can’t be nice, be funny (without punching down). (Sarcasm is fine; cruelty isn’t.)
• 4️⃣ If you can’t be funny, shut up. (Try silence. It’s underrated.)
• 5️⃣ If you can’t shut up, go the f*** away.
  (If you refuse to follow the first four, kindly exit stage left.)
• This isn’t about exile—it’s about self-care. Sometimes, stepping back is the best
  thing you can do for yourself and for the community.
