bon skot rool uhv by-king
Definition:
A performance hack where listening to highly enjoyable, high-energy music makes physical effort feel easier, causing you to move faster without consciously trying.
Based on the idea that when the brain is sufficiently engaged and rewarded (via rhythm, nostalgia, or pure hype), it downregulates perceived effort and increases output.
In simple terms:
If you’re vibing hard enough, your body forgets it’s tired.
Mechanism (unofficial):
Dopamine + rhythm synchronization + attention hijack = accidental overperformance
Warning:
May result in unintentionally setting personal records.

Pronunciation: hohm on thuh ree-uhl ree-uhl
Definition:
A deeper form of “home.” Not just a physical house or location, but the place, state, or situation where your identity fits so naturally into the surrounding structure of life that you stop noticing the effort of being yourself.
It’s the moment when your personal “puzzle piece” finally clicks into the larger puzzle and the edges line up perfectly. There’s no grinding, forcing, or performing — just a quiet sense that things make sense here.
“Home on the real real” can be:
a physical place
a group of people
a creative space
a mindset
a moment in time
Basically anywhere your shape matches the world’s shape.
Often confused with “home,” which is typically just a house or place of residence. “Home on the real real” is the emergent version — the deeper psychological and existential alignment that arises when identity and environment lock together.
Expanded explanation:
Think of life like a giant puzzle. Most of the time you’re sliding around trying to figure out where your piece fits — rotating yourself, shaving off corners, pretending to be a different piece.
But every once in a while you land somewhere where the grooves line up exactly.
No pressure.
No performance.
No friction.
That’s home on the real real.

aka The Downward-Value Utility Arbitrage Principle
/vee-aitch-es thee-uh-ruhm/
Definition:
A consumer hack for maximum lifestyle value on a pauper budget. The VHS Theorem states: when something’s cultural clout collapses faster than its functionality, its utility-per-dollar skyrockets. In plain English: if it still works but nobody wants it, it’s basically magic.
Mechanics:
Cultural Abandonment – everyone chases the new shiny thing.
Functional Persistence – the old stuff still works fine.
Depression Pricing – sellers panic-sell at rock-bottom prices.
Utility Extraction – you live like a sultan on a scratch-off budget.
Examples:
VHS tapes, DVDs, old game consoles, CRT TVs, secondhand instruments, cast iron, estate sale gold — basically anything that fell out of fashion but still functions.
When culture abandons it, the wise inherit it.

Get the The VHS Theorem mug.An extrusive thought is a belief or mental narrative that originates outside the individual—i.e. culture, institutions, economics, or social systems—and becomes unconsciously internalized & experienced as a personal belief, even in conflicts with one’s values, biology, or well-being.
Unlike intrusive thoughts (unwanted, distressing thoughts that feel foreign), extrusive thoughts are ego-syntonic: they feel normal, realistic, and unquestionable because they are socially rewarded. Their harm is not loud or immediate, but slow and corrosive—showing up as chronic anxiety, burnout, compulsive striving, identity confusion, moral injury, and disconnection from embodied reality.
Extrusive thoughts prioritize abstractions over lived experience and function as normative mental occupiers, quietly shaping self-worth, behavior, and life direction while remaining culturally invisible.
Key traits:
• External origin (culture, capitalism, nationalism, romantic myths)
• Unconscious internalization (enculturation, introjection, reward)
• Feels “normal” or “just how things are”
• Directs behavior and self-judgment
• Pathogenic over time
Contrast:
Intrusive thoughts violate the mind from within.
Extrusive thoughts violate the mind from without.
Examples:
• “My worth equals my productivity.”
• “Money represents real value, not a shared fiction.”
• “Borders reflect natural human divisions.”
• “One partner should meet all my needs.”
• “Criticizing my country is criticizing me.”

Therapeutic progress accelerated once the client learned to distinguish intrusive thoughts from extrusive thoughts imposed by cultural success narratives.
What presented as personal failure was later identified as an extrusive thought rooted in internalized meritocratic ideology.
The patient’s anxiety diminished as extrusive beliefs about productivity and self-worth were consciously de-installed.

Inspired by Diogenes, the ancient Greek philosopher and professional troll, Diogenesis is the ultimate bullshit filter: a way of life rooted in radical honesty, joyful nihilism, and weaponized absurdity.
When you reach Diogenesis, you stop performing for society and start living shamelessly and freely.
