Get the Taco Bell mug.The act of transforming someone into an "Intern". Usually with some kind of laser and/or ray. Pew pew! Internalized! Bzzerp! Internalized!
Iam "Let me guess, you spoke to my parents. And I'm guessing you said something along the lines of 'A child is your greatest asset. Don't disrespect it or neglect it.' (I'm paraphrasing)."
Hym "They reappropriated it! Hahahahahahaha!!!""
Iam "Yeah.... I've internalized a lot of people's voices. That one kind of sounded like you. So, I wouldn't be shocked if I was right."
Hym "Ha! Yeah, what'd you think? They're the worst, right? Hahahahaha!"
Iam "Come on, they're not that bad..."

Hym "Ha! That's hilarious! You did see it. Iam had a fucking MELTDOWN!"
Iam "........."
Hym "Don't glare at me like that! You know it's funny! Big-time meltdown too. Like, 'ordered online from a Denny's' level meltdown."
Iam "I was upset..."
Hym "Hahaha! See!? He wants to lie so bad! Look at his face! HAHAHAHAA! And I'm not even being metaphorical."
Iam "I don't think you're using that word properly..."
Hym "Nah I'm doing it right."
Iam "Can we just go to bed? I'm not trying to be up until 7am again."
Hym "Yeah, yeah..."

Get the Metaphorical mug.Good is good.
Hym "Yeah! That was a good one wasn't it? I liked that one to. As Doug pointed out, the other one was a little derivative. But this one was good too. Completely original!"
Iam "Come on. We have to go."
Hym "Damnit! Alright. I'll revel in my own intellectual prowess later."

Get the Good mug.Not to be confused with "power", influence can be broken down into two dimensions. First we have "direct" influence which is "I tell you to do something. You do the thing I tell you to do." The motivating principle can vary and include Monetary gain (I pay you to do things), status (You respect me or my station and want to please me), allegiance (We are on the same team and/or I have elevated status within a group). Secondly we have "indirect". This happens when a "credible source" posits a "school of thought" or a "framework of conceptualization". As soon as an individual accepts the framework; they are effectively "under the influence" of the source (albeit indirectly) and will then act out the tenets of the framework without needing to be told what to do. This influence can be Benevolent, Malevolent, or Benign.
Iam "Ok. So, yeah. That, I think, kind of vaguely ties into the 'influence' concept that I've been trying to flesh out (i.e. Purple-Man theory). So, let's say I posit a "framework of conceptualization". I outline the tenets of the framework and you accept it as "truth". This framework (now) becomes the lens through which you view the world and you will likely act out the framework and the tenets as outlined without the need for me to use "direct influence". This raises several questions. The first of which being 'Are you the framework you've adopted or the ego that adopts the framework'? You could also ask 'to what degree does the framework usurp the ego (if at all)'? So... I guess we'll start there."
Hym "They are the framework. That's the presupposition of the NPC (Non-Player Character) nomenclature that I coined in the earlier stages of my work. By adopting the framework you become the framework and act it out completely."
Iam "Well, no... Not entirely. There is always some deviation from the framework and through argumentation and conversation you can get people see the nuance that exists outside of the framework."
Hym "But they always default to the framework after the conversation ends. We've seen it many times. Cognitive dissonance prevents the actor from adding or subtracting from the initial framework."

Get the Influence mug.The theory first posited by Hym Iam (Yours truly) that states "If the Pareto principle applies to 'the ability to accrue influence'; then there will inevitably come a time where someone is able to accrue a supreme or vastly disproportionate amount of influence and use said influence for evil". Loosely derivative of pseudo-religious "Anti-Christ" literature and a reference to the Marvel villain "Zebediah Killgrave" AKA "Purple Man".
Influence part 2/ Purple-Man Theory
Iam "That's not true! Look at what Daryl Davis was able to do with those KKK members. He was able to get through the cognitive dissonance and get them to operate outside of the framework of conceptualization they had initially adopted."
Hym "That's just trading one framework for another. The act of adopting the framework allows them to forgo the 'reasoning' that is required (by definition) to constitute the expression of 'ego'."
Iam "But I doubt Daryl Davis has the philosophical suppositions required to constitute a 'Framework of conceptualization'. Anyone who is acting out the script of a 'framework of conceptualization' can (in fact) be reset to 'ego expression'."
Hym "Let's assume that you're correct. That's one anecdotal example of the KKK framework being reset to 'ego expression'. We don't know that it works that way across a variety of frameworks. We don't know whether or not they are falling under his 'indirect' influence so that's little more than speculation."
Iam "Then I guess we'll have to learn more about what he did to convince these KKK members to abandon their initial framework. He either posited a new framework (which they replaced the old one) or he broke through the cognitive dissonance and reset them all to 'ego expression'. But that's as far as we can get for now."

Get the Purple-Man Theory mug.Iam "Ok. Influencer. Alright. So, what was my second question?"
Hym "Something about 'To what degree does the framework of conceptualization that a person adopts replace expression of the ego?'."
Iam "Ok. So, you said it was 'entirely'."
Hym "Correct."
Iam "Well, that can't be true. Take a political framework, say, a generic liberal frame. That's something that would only be acted out in a social setting. You're not acting out your political frame while you're walking your dog or making a sandwich."
Hym "True. But every social interaction would still be filtered though the lens of your liberal framework. And if you look at apolitical frames like the "red pill" framework of conceptualization; it would (likely) govern how you spend your time outside of your social interactions. How frequently you act out the framework would relate to the tenets of the framework. For instance, the "red pill" frame has tenets regarding 'self-improvement'. You would act those outside of social interaction."
Iam "You can self-improve without adopting the tents of someone's framework of conceptualization."
Hym "Can you? Would you? Without adopting someone else's value system that posits that 'self-improvement is a good thing to spend your time doing'? Plenty of people don't."
Iam "Well... I don't know. We're running out of characters and I'm tired. We'll come back to it.."
