polytoping

A polytope is a geometrical solid of many dimensions used to optimize conditions for maximum results. So, when a person is polytoping, he is juggling the many variables of life in order to optimize results. With a greater level of conciousness a person is aware of more variables, has a more complex polytope, and can better optimize life.

He puzzled over his life, polytoping as best he could.

gnosoarsonist

"Gnosis" means "knowledge", and "arsonist" means "someone who sets fire to property", so a gnosoarsonist attempts metaphorically to destroy knowledge perceived to be unacceptable. He seeks to suppress knowledge contrary to his own stand rather than winning others over by reason or truth.

He was a gnosoarsonist who thought that a "liberal" view favoring racial diversity should be destroyed. He didn't understand that such a view was "humanist" and affirming of understanding and acceptance in an expansive manner.

The farmoaner sat on the shaded porch with iced tea in hand as he ordered the farmassist to complete tasks in the hot sun, but the farmoaner complained of the wages he had to pay and acted as if it was he who was burdened by circumstance.
