In print until the company went out of business in 2006. The Principia Discordia is a Discordian religious text written by Greg Hill (Malaclypse the Younger) with Kerry Wendell Thornley (Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst). It was originally published under the title "Principia Discordia or How The West Was Lost" in a limited edition of five copies in 1965.

This simple and seemingly obvious statement is the starting point for an emerging science, called evolutionary psychology, which has revolutionized the study of the human mind. First popularized in books such as Edward Wilson’s Sociobiology and Richard Dawkins’s The Selfish Gene , evolutionary psychology has led to natural explanations of previously inexplicable behaviors.
