Any reason for having the page blanked?—チーズバーガー • めん Spinning-Burger.gif (talkstalk) 04:02, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

To make it a real page, since the illuminati page is only about the conspiracy theories and not the actual philosophy of Weishaupt. Diacelium (talk) 04:29, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
Then make the page instead of blanking it.—チーズバーガー • めん Spinning-Burger.gif (talkstalk) 04:34, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
I'm making the page, I just needed to blank it to avoid being redirected. Diacelium (talk) 05:02, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Finally[edit]

When I was about 15 (circa 2006), I hung out (digitally) with a bunch of would-be hackers. One of them was an Aussie, who was obsessed with a version of the Illuminati mythos which happened to place Weißhaubt at the center of it all. In retrospect, he would spout the weirdest stuff about his importance. TL;DR: I'm glad to see this article get made. Weißhaupt is important to cover.

I'm also happy to have found the courage to make it. Weishaupt is a very interesting person in history, first because of the illuminati and his diabolization. The main problem with Weishaupt is that it's hard to find informations about him (except by reading his books(ugh), which would require to buy them, which would take hours) because of the fucking idiots all around the net with their bullshit about the illuminati being satanic communists.
But I'm happy to have found some factual informations about his philosophy. It's still interresting. Diacelium (talk) 13:56, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
Neat! But never mind his books — remember that we're not a general encyclopedia. All those bullshit illuminati claims directed against him is what we're supposed to be covering. All the best, Reverend Black Percy (talk) 14:42, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
I know we are not an encyclopedia, but we have articles about philosophy, and also philosophy of science, both of which Weishaupt falls in. Diacelium (talk) 15:01, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
Dr. James Wardner takes several direct quotes from Weishaupt in his book, Unholy Alliances. The order had many of the same goals as communism, including a one world government, and abolition of private property, the family unit, all religion, patriotism and inheritance. He created the first Illuminati-Masonic lodge in the US in 1778. — Unsigned, by: 66.235.8.205 / talk 11:05, 14 September 2018‎ (UTC)
