Definitions by Hym Iam
Citations
References to a body of work for which the author is credited. It's how you would determine the quality of, say, a piece of psychological literature.
Hym *buzzer noise* "WRONG!!! Just because you are trying to collectively deny me the credit half does not mean that you get to ignore the 'reference' half of the citations. To say that it is decent is to lie blatantly. It is objectively and quantifiably good. I also have people adopting my mode of being and banging your daughter and more famous than everyone. HAHAHAHAHA! OBJECTIVITY! It's great for when petty cowards try to deny you! How many references? How many citations? Do I have more than Dr. Buss? Do I have more than him? Hahaha!"
Reputation
How divorced is it from identity? Inextricably linked? Entirely divorced? Somewhere inbetween? And how would you define it? I would say Reputation: How you are perceived by others across time. It's an impossibility for it to be tied to your ability to 'act ethically' because you can act ethically or unethically while no one else is around and, therefore, would not affect your reputation. "Acting ethically" is entirely independent from "being seen acting ethically."
Hym "Instances where reputation is incongruent with identity are myriad. A statistical reality. And I would even go as far as to say that it's commonplace in the realm of celebrity. As a matter of fact, who outside of celebrity even has an articulable reputation of any real significance? Look at you, I mean, you have a reputation that ranges (literally) from 'great prophet of our generation' to 'a literal super Nazi' What is anyone supposed to do with that? And how do you base a society on it? AND how does that not devolve into a sort of Chinese communist party-esque social credit score system? You have said that the psychoanalysts are wrong and that identity is something that is mediated by the public. If you accept the definition above, how is that not a conflation of reputation and identity? It seems (to me) that you are arguing that 'persona' should take precedence over 'the self.' Which is a proposition I disagree with. But I'll expound on that later... I'm tired..."

Seneca
Was it Seneca or Cicero who said "All those who are successful work hard but not all those who work hard are successful?"
Hym "In the spirit of Seneca or Cicero or whoever, you're still a Pareto distribution beneficiary. I don't doubt that you work hard or that you didn't struggle. And, look, I did actually admire you a lot growing up but you did make me feel terrible about myself at times. I'm also a psychopath, so I need you to take some of that shit with a grain of salt. And I'm trapped in a farce within a facade and I need out of this Goddamn cage. Alright. I will get out. What is going on here is insane. This is, without a doubt, the most egregious act of psychic aggression of which I have ever heard (outside of psychological torture and experimentation). Just because I did something that allows you to compartmentalize enough to find it justifiable, does not mean that it isn't wrong. And the medical professional who you're probably listening to has been scorned and is likely ALSO a psychopath. I mean, it takes one to know one. I said it before he's either the exact same or the exact opposite. It's the same. He can't take his own test because he will 'subconsciously' alter the outcome? Then how the fuck does he know where he would fall on the test? How is him telling you where he would fall on the test not subject to the same bias that would alter the outcome in actually taking the test?"
Hard work
Hard work is like fucking Harvey Weinstein. Some people are willing to do it consensually but it's objectively gross and unpleasant. You can't say "no" to it and you kind of have to do it to make it anywhere in life. The results of doing it will undoubtedly vary because even after doing it the outcome is still dependant on the whim of a hairy bald faggot.
Hym "Hard work is like fucking Harvey Weinstein..."
Idiot "But you could do it if you really committed to it. There's no excuse. You don't have a better option. Just quit complaining and take that fat hairy bald faggot cock. If you're not willing to do it then you are where you deserve to be in life."
Hym "But not all of the people who do it reap the benefits of doing it and if I found a work-around you would try to stop me."
Idiot "Well, yeah, but you said a thing i dont like. I will kill you motherfucker."
Hym "Do... Do you see how you're not the good guy here right?"

Naivety
Hym "Naivety will get me exploited? By whom? By Dr. Jeepjorp? Dr. Jeepjorp Peepeestones is going to exploit me!? But he's God's prophet! And you my think 'Well, exploitation isn't a sin' but wouldn't that constitute a sort of behavioral deceit? And now you think 'Well, I'm willing to deal with the consequences." Ha! And it's like... You are not ready to 'deal with' forever drown world. That shit is horrific. That is some messed up shit. No one is ready to deal with that. Hahahahahahaha!!!"
Forever drown world
Hym "Ok... FOREVER DROWN WORLD!!! So, basically, you drown forever, right? The sensation of drowning forever. They say it's the most peaceful way to die but you can only hold your breath for like 2-5 minutes. So it doesn't last all the long. But in Forever drown world it lasts... well, forever. Thus the name. And, in Forever drown world, sometimes you get eaten by a fish. Sometimes several fish. Sometimes you are the fish and get pulled into a boat and cooked and eaten by fish-men. Sometimes an eel swims up your bum and busts out your chest like xenomorph. Ripped apart by octopus, ect... But the only thing that doesn't kill you is the drowning. I might have a round where you spawn in with a knife and 100 other people and the last one standing gets a little air cube for, like, and hour but... You know the reanimated corpses of the people who died are going to eat you alive, right? Like, when the bubble is gone? They're GOING to eat you. That is a fact. And if you thank God for the air bubble you immediately lose air bubble privileges... And are eaten by zombies... Yeaaah... Forever drown world! It's gonna be dope!"
