Zen's definitions

blown out of the frame

to be afflicted with a sudden realization that your underlying assumptions or impressions or paradigm of thought has been challenged or overthrown by something you have just become aware of.

". . . and after Davian said that, the other guy was all glassy eyed and slack jawed, like he was blown out of the frame, savvy?"

When I first saw "Apocolypse Now," it blew me out of the frame.

I could give you some examples of what all this means to the future of our business, but I don't want to blow you out of the frame.

zenhex

A philosophical paradox or logical paradox. The contradiction that the greater sentience is a result of less brute force perception and information processing, and more transcending trained language based consciousness and object oriented concepts.

You overthink your problems and you are caught in a zen hex.
