Asimov Cascade

A type of technological singularity where a person creates a replica of themself smart enough to become self-aware and able to create a replica of itself, but is unaware that they themselves are replicas. Those replicas themselves become self-aware and able to create a replica of itself, but is unaware that they themselves are replicas. Continue this trend to the point where who was the original creator becomes lost in the sheer number of replicas

Term coined in the Rick and Morty episode "Mortyplicity".

"When squids started killing decoys, decoys started checkin their decoys and learning that they're making decoys. That's making them seek out and run into other decoys. Making them realize they're decoys, making them start to kill other decoys."

Trans-Right

A person who is Authoritarian-Right but identifies as Libertarian, or vice versa.
Not to be confused with trans rights, something that people who are Trans-Right would be against.

Ben Shapiro may identify as a Libertarian, but a lot of his opinions are inherently authoritarian: ant-gay rights, anti-feminism, banning porn and drugs and corporate demagoguery over communal democracy under the flimsy pretense of a meritocracy.

Like a lot of other people of the Trans-Right, he thinks the Political Compass is a liberal conspiracy because it is more accurate than his own claims.

Egotheism

When one's description of God (as an entity) follows the exact same political and social opinions of the solitary worshipper in-spite of whatever scripture, dogma or gospel they claim represents God. Not to be confused with God Complex.

"So if Anthony the atheist does not believe that God exists, did he 'reject' her even if she does exist? No. All God would need to do is show up and ask Anthony in person for him to accept. Or perhaps Theresa the theist described God inaccurately. Is Anthony rejecting the real God, or the inaccurate portrayal of God, which doesn't actually exist, even though she does? In all accounts, Anthony is not actually rejecting God, and in all accounts, Theresa would have no reason to feel rejected at all. So why then does the theist typically show the classic signs of rejection and even misuse the word 'rejection' when encountering an atheist? Because 'God' IS Theresa. The believer IS God. Your relationship with God is actually a profound dynamic relationship with the self. With your ego. It is why God knows you so well. It is why his opinions are so often your opinions, and why a different believer of the same god as yours can claim that he agrees with God's opinions, but not yours. It is why God seems to very real to you because he IS real. He IS you."
