Concisionism
Concisionism advocates articulating one's feelings, and thinking, analyzing, speaking, and/or writing concisely. Its adherents believe concision is so powerful that by applying it—especially at work—a nation's Gross Domestic Product will rise because workers and other professionals will communicate faster and more effectively, thereby boosting production. Another benefit of articulating things concisely is that trimming the fat from communication leaves people more time to live and that improves the quality of life and increases the amount of pleasure people can enjoy.
The members of think tanks wonder if communicating concisely would make consumers realize that they can live concisely and consume concisely, not needing to purchase unnecessary (really unneeded) products or services; be husky, plump, or obese; and stop over-consuming and also consume less.

product-produced isolation
The malicious marketing and social control strategy where corporations pay the media to make everyone consider themselves so superior they will feel disgusted of most other people and stop interacting with them. With their social interaction skills atrophied, the only way they can satisfy their innate need to interact with others is by consuming products.
Though he had read every book on his wall-to-wall bookshelf and was exceptionately intelligent, like most Americans, product-produced isolation had gotten him to only interact with his family members, rarely interact with other human beings, and satisfy his innate need to interact with others by purchasing products—such as his automobile, from which he came to derive his, in reality, dwindling self-esteem, identity and health by not walking. He also purchased one of the most powerful revolvers, books, watches, and other things, some of which he collected. But all that only led to his declining mental state, and to feel good he became an alcoholic. After attending Alcoholics Anonymous for a number of years, he stopped drinking and became an expensive cigar addict.

product-induced isolation and identity
The comical marketing and social control strategy where corporations pay the media to make everyone consider themselves so superior they will feel disgusted of most other people and stop interacting with them and satisfy their innate need to interact with others by overconsuming products, and simultaneously feel so inferior they will buy products to raise their self-esteem and improve their identity. Thus, selling consumers products which satisfy their emotional needs have become as profitable as those which satisfy their physical needs.
He had read every book on his wall-to-wall bookshelf and was exceptionally intelligent, but like perhaps many Americans, Product-Induced Isolation and Identity got him to only interact with his family members, have only one or no friends, rarely interact with other human beings, and satisfy his innate need to interact with others by purchasing products—such as his automobile, from which he came to derived his self-esteem and identity, or his computer and mobile device which essentially replace in-person human interaction. To top it all of, he just got his master's degree online in Mass Humbuggery and Manipulation.

space-doubling mirror
A mirror placed in the corner of a room to create the illusion that there are other rooms on the other side of the mirror.
It occurred to me that placing a vertical mirror in the corner of my living room I could create the illusion of more space and enjoy that illusion, so two-weeks ago I dared to try that and it worked. A week ago I placed another what I'll call "space-doubling mirror" on the opposite corner. Looking at the first mirror reflected on the first, or in the second at the first, more than doubles the illusion of more space. Each mirror is 1 by 5 feet.

thought expression
A thought which the thinker raises to a higher level by extracting it from his brain by saying it to himself and or others, verbally, nonverbally (such as by making a sound, a face, or a gesture), and/or by writing or drawing it. Expressing a thought also confirms to the thinker and those who are made aware of it that that thought was real, clarifies it, and makes it more useful. If the thinker or someone else records the thought in writing or in another way, it will not be forgotten and may help him in the future.
The following is an example of "thought expression". Carlos felt uncomfortable as the chair he sat on rolled away ever so slightly. Determined to do his homework, he attempted to ignore the feeling but told himself, "I felt it. I felt it," turned, got up, walked to the bedroom, and on his way there told himself verbally, "I felt afraid the chair would continue rolling and I would fall on the floor. That's what happened". With his feet on the floor and his knees bent, he laid back on his bed knowing that would calm him down. Knowing he is a hypersensitive person (HSP), he knew he could not deny his feelings because when he has, his body has given him some type of pain in his back, neck, or organs to remind him to not deny the things he feels. Today he also told himself, "Por algo...", to express his realizing that "God makes me feel the things I feel, for a reason."

tangibleize
The thought, "The body is a physical manifestation of the soul", can also be expressed as "The body tangibleizes the soul".
Examples of things which "tangibleize" an invisible thing—such as a thought—are words, drawings, photographs, images, and sculptures or 3-D models because those things have transformed a thought or feeling into a visible or tangible representation of them.
And though spoken words manifest thoughts, no one can see a spoken word. To make a word visible, it must be written or typed. Then it can be moved around in a text. Though it is not possible to touch or hold written word per se, they can be said to be tangible because when written, they can be sent in a letter or email, or when printed on a paper or in a book, carried.
