profit extraction

Fraudulently obtaining a profit from a consumer by deceiving, manipulating, tricking him or her.
Profit extraction reminds me of a tooth extraction, pulling the tooth out from the gum. It also reminds me of the term "rip off." Ultimately, profit extraction is the act of pulling something which belongs to a person, from them, and taking it away.

Stupids

The concise, dynamic, and practical way to say "stupid people".
No one says, intellectual people, everyone says, "intellectuals". Call stupid people "stupids", and call ignorant people "ignorants". Ignorance is environmental, stupidity appears to be genetic. Though it is not easy and it may not be possible to determine if an action was ignorant or stupid, ignorance engenders stupid actions by individuals who are not stupid.

speaking to discover

A method to make oneself aware of certain things one was not aware of until one began speaking to oneself or others (and preferably recorded what one said) about something (to be able to analyze it).
Speaking extemporaneously to myself and audio-recording it has helped me realize certain things I was not aware of until I said them. That process is called "speaking to discover".

Each sentence is a melody

The fact that “each sentence is a melody” because we say each syllable of each word in a different tone, which translates to a different musical note. We also say each syllable in a different volume.
The fact that each sentence is a melody because each word you said because each syllable of each word is said in a different tone, a different musical note.

Love Science

Love Science studies the over 200-types of love, and the many ways individuals can love and be loved.
Individuals who practice love science are called love scientists and they have discovered that the brain processes love neurochemically and neuroelectrically and changes the body's biochemistry in ways that improve the biological, emotional, and mental states of both humans and animals.

Love is an emotion, thus fundamentally irrational, illogical, and unmathematical.

Love can transcend moral or written laws and in some instances, it does not make sense.

Humans feel love for an individual who they calculate can help them or provide them with something they need.

Said differently, individuals feel love feel love when and because they want something from the person, place, or thing they start to feel love for.

Interestingly, after a person "falls" in love, they lose some or much self-control, connect with their love object, and feel a strong need to give different things to them, thus creating a cycle which makes the love mutual and allows the two or more participants to grow.

Truth Maintaining

Writing down either the exact words each individual says, or only the most important words they say, and/or audio or video-recording the words them to deter the participants in a discussion, argument, conversation, or negotiation from making false statements or saying they said something other than what they said or saying they did not say something they said.
Because human beings tend to make false statements it is extremely helpful to practice Truth Maintaining by writing down and also audio or video-recording individuals as they express themselves in a discussion, argument, conversation, or negotiation.
