What is Madness.WIKI?

Cultural Context FAQ
What is Dudeism?
Dudeism is a modern philosophical movement inspired by the chill wisdom of The Dude from The Big Lebowski. It promotes a lifestyle of relaxation, non-materialism, easygoingness, and taking it easy, man. Technically, it’s a registered religion — but really, it’s more about learning to abide in a chaotic world. Learn more at Dudeism.
What is The Church of the SubGenius?
The Church of the SubGenius is a parody religion (or maybe the truest religion?) founded in the 1950s (or maybe 1979 — who’s counting?). It satirizes religion, conspiracy theories, consumerism, and modern culture, all under the divine guidance of their prophet, J.R. "Bob" Dobbs. Their motto? "Slack off." Get your Slack at Church_of_the_SubGenius.
What is a "Toy Soldier"?
A Toy Soldier is a member of Dr. Steel’s Army of Toy Soldiers — a playful real-world movement dedicated to imagination, creativity, and fun. Rather than wage real wars, Toy Soldiers "fight" for a Utopian Playland where creativity and individuality reign supreme. Their battle cry is for fun, art, and a better, more whimsical world. Explore more at Toy_Soldiers.
Who was Dr. Steel?
Dr. Phineas Waldolf Steel (simply known as Dr. Steel) was a musician, performer, and charismatic leader of the Army of Toy Soldiers. Blending industrial music, mad science, and playful futurism, he crafted a universe where world domination was just a cover story for promoting creativity and fun. Dr. Steel officially retired from public life in 2011, but his dream of a Utopian Playland lives on. Discover the legacy at Dr._Steel.
Reality is optional. Questions are mandatory.
