Thornley

Kerry Thornley

Kerry Wendell Thornley (April 17, 1938 - November 28, 1998) is perhaps best-known as the co-founder (along with childhood friend Greg Hill) of Discordianism. In this context he is usually known as Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst, a name he derived from Omar Khayyám. He and Hill authored the religion's seminal text Principia Discordia, or, how I found Goddess, and what I did to her when I found her.

Less known is a series of Zenarchy articles, originally written in the late 1960s for Thornley's broadsheet newsletter of the same name, under the pen name Ho Chi Zen. "Zenarchy" is described in the introduction of the collected volume as "the social order which springs from meditation," and "A noncombative, nonparticipatory, no-politics approach to anarchy intended to get the serious student thinking."

Raised Mormon, in adulthood Kerry shifted his ideological focus frequently, in rivalry with any serious countercultural figure of the 1960s. Atheism, anarchism, objectivism, neo-paganism, Buddhism, and the memetic inheritor of Discordianism, The Church of the Subgenius, have all been the subjects of close conceptual scrutiny throughout his life.

    Thornley in the news

    It is well established that state Labor MP Evan Thornley is barking mad, legendary for exploding into phone smashing fits at the slightest provocation. He also likes to throw dinner parties. Could this be their future?

    Evan Thornley got so drunk at the ALP National Conference he was required to seek medical attention, according to some observers.

    Evan Thornley, who banned unions from his company Looksmart, can rest easy.
