AGENDA

  1. Opening chaos (5 minutes allocated, ran for 2 hours)
  2. Review of old business (what old business?)
  3. New business (forgot to discuss)
  4. Greg's concerns (Greg was muted)
  5. Budget review (what budget?)
  6. Strategic planning (strategies for what?)
  7. Any other business (all of it)
  8. Closing chaos (never happened, meeting still technically ongoing)

MINUTES

3:00 AM — Meeting called to order. No one knows who called it. Order was immediately disrupted.
3:01 AM — Malaclypse proposes organizing the chaos. Eris vetoes by disappearing. Proposal dies from lack of support and too much support simultaneously.
3:07 AM — Greg suggests implementing a structured approach to disorder. Greg is muted. Greg continues talking. No one knows how. Greg's mic is definitely muted. Greg is still audible. This is the first miracle of the meeting.
3:15 AM — Discussion of last month's minutes. Last month's minutes are from a meeting that hasn't happened yet. Time paradox occurs. Everyone pretends not to notice.
3:23 AM — Cat walks across keyboard. Types: "asjkdfhalksjdfhlakjsdhf". This becomes official temple policy. Vote: unanimous. 5
3:30 AM — Budget review begins. Question raised: "Do we have a budget?" Answer from 7 people simultaneously: "Yes." "No." "What's a budget?" "Greg spent it." "There is no budget." "The budget is chaos itself." "I thought this was about religion?"
3:45 AM — Enlightened master unmutes for the first time. Says: "…" (exact quote). Then mutes again. This is considered the most profound contribution of the meeting.
4:00 AM — Break called. No one breaks. Meeting continues. Break is ongoing and also hasn't started.
4:15 AM — Someone shares their screen. It's just their desktop. 47 browser tabs open. 13 different messaging apps. No one mentions it. This is a sacred glimpse into the divine mess.
4:30 AM — Discussion of temple expansion. Proposals include:
  • Opening a physical temple (rejected: too organized)
  • Opening a virtual temple (rejected: already exists everywhere)
  • Opening a temporal temple (rejected: when?)
  • Closing all temples (rejected: you can't close what doesn't exist)
  • Greg's idea (rejected before he could speak)
4:47 AM — Someone asks "What are we actually trying to accomplish?" Silence for 3 minutes. The silence is sacred. The silence is uncomfortable. The silence is interrupted by Greg (still muted, still talking).
5:00 AM — Eris reappears. Says "lol" and leaves. This is interpreted as divine approval of everything and nothing.
5:15 AM — Meeting ends. Or does it? Someone's still talking. We're not sure who. The meeting continues in a parallel timeline. We're all still in that timeline. This is fine.
