Gregory V. Richardson's definitions

farmassist

This is a person who helps on the farm and is subject to the direction and complaints rendered by the farmoaner. Of course, the farmassist may eventually need help from the pharmacist who can dispense antidepressants.

The farmassist was sent about the farm to take care of innumberable tasks while the farmoaner complained from the shaded porch with iced tea in hand.

aqalflage

This word combines the "AQAL" (all quadrants, all levels, all lines, all states, all types) Integral Theory of Ken Wilber with the basic word "camouflage". So, the meaning is that of ostensibly expressing the psychology of the AQAL model, but in fact either deliberately or accidentally not doing so, therefore AQAL insight is camouflaged by the words.

John's wordy and misguided theory about applying the psychology of Ken Wilber's AQAL model to business practices proved to be mere aqalflage because John did not understand the AQAL model.

gnosonarcissist

This word is a combination of "gnosis" (knowledge) and "narcissist" (a self-centered person). So, a gnosonarcissist is a person who believes in a self-centered way that his level of knowledge is correct and/or complete despite what others know. This implies a lack of understanding that others might know more in areas of knowledge in either a horizontal way (breadth of knowledge) or a vertical way (depth of knowledge).

Dudley was a gnosonarcissist who believed that his own limited understanding was better than the the knowledge of others who knew much more.
