A byzantine display of hallways, stairs, rooms, and walls within 1950's noir films. On the first degree, a visual metaphor for the existential horror of modernism. Modernism as a labyrinth or maze representing the futility of man's self-created choices; a system in which all choices are ultimately identical; a false freedom; fatalism. The concept that human-created systems--modernism (industrialization)--cannot civilize man; and offer him unsustainable (inauthentic) progress. The concept that man cannot save himself. On the second degree, a metaphor for the idea that modernism is more indicative of man than man is of modernism; that man's authentic essence is that of a heart of darkness. Presaged the onset of postmodernism.

Interiorization is a deep visual metaphor that indicates man cannot willfully create unique existential choices, material progress is a false dichotomy from man's 'true' essence, modernism deludes human beings into the perception of false progress; the essence of man is a heart of darkness (Joseph P. Conrad); and modernism is more an indictment of man than man is a representative of the progress of modernism.

Interboroughphobia

When a New Yorker is scared or unwilling to travel to another borough of the city just because they perceive it to be further than it actually is.

These people will travel further distances with longer travel times just because its in their borough.

Jane is not coming to the party because its in Manhattan, even though its only 3 miles and 20 minutes away from her house in Brooklyn. She must have Interboroughphobia.

Interorectogestion

The act of consuming food through your anus, rather than your mouth. In this twist, you would result in crapping out of your mouth instead of your anus.

"You see, food entering through the anus has the benefit of being broken down on its way to the stomach rather than afterward. And therefore I believe that interorectogestion would actually put a stop to high cholesterol and most kinds of stomach cancers. And I base that on absolutely nothing." -The Surgeon General from South Park
