In one, the Laughing God tricks the Outsider into eating many other C'tan, driving him insane. In the other, the Deceiver consumed several C'tan to increase his own power and convinced the Nightbringer and the Void Dragon to do likewise. Neither of these C'tan, nor the Deceiver, were driven insane; obviously a significant difference.

How then could the Deceiver fulfill the role ascribed to the Laughing God?

The Temporary Autonomous Zone
The Temporary Autonomous Zone (TAZ) describes the socio-political tactic of creating temporary space that eludes formal structures of control. The essay uses various historical and philosophical examples, all of which attempt to lead the reader to the conclusion that the best way to create a non-hierarchical system of social relationships is to concentrate on the present and on releasing one's own mind from the controlling mechanisms that have been imposed on it.

In the formation of a TAZ, Bey argues that information becomes a key tool that sneaks into the cracks of formal procedures. A new territory of the moment is created that is on the boundary line of established regions. Any attempt at permanence, that goes beyond the moment, deteriorates to a structured system that inevitably stifles individual creativity. It is this chance at creativity that is real empowerment.

The contents of the section are divided up into the following sections:

Pirate Utopias
Waiting for the Revolution
The Psychotopology of Everyday Life
The Net and the Web
"Gone to Croatan"
Music as an Organizational Principle
The Will To Power as Disappearance
Ratholes in the Babylon of Information

Half-heartedly, after considering all that he had done and not done in the past, he asked his other half - "What is that you carry, what has it to do with me? If you be my reflection, what is this I see?".

His other half replied

In this bag are your burdens.

of ignorer, deceiver and thief.

Thinking they cannot be seen,

regardless of how much they cause you grief.

I see and do record every single maneuver,

it matters not that as two - the lower part did descend.

Together we can create a most beautiful jewel,

I long to reunite that as One we may ascend.

I can remain only a deep hidden reflection,

when through life's distractions woe is fed.

Only the unwise drop the bowl of sweetly cooked rice,

to feast on a crumbs of fallen bread.

The forest is full of life's many and varied wonders,

the other side will always seem an interesting quest.

Each step - an opportunity to live a holy life,

yet there are so many ways to stray from what is truly best.

This morning found you last in the mind's deep dark forest,

rambling on - all you have come to find id the night sky.

Step after step the forest's end will never be reached,

when like a dream. it's lessons are viewed as clouds floating by.

Looking outwardly - off the Path you chose to wander,

over looking the true adventure which lies in going within.

Looking over your shoulder you thought to get through,

mountains steep and valleys low - possessed by a most heavy burden.

With a clear sharp mind you stride,

with confidence born of a nobler path.

Only partially can the higher get through,

due to the firm grip of the lower's wrath.

Through a turn of fate - I am but your reflection,

turning within the heart until truth you enthrone.

Little king awake to the blessings around you,

lest forest after forest you wander alone…
