Laughaboutit

The wise, health-and-happiness-increasing philosophy encapsulated into one-word based on the belief that "bad things happen for a good reason," and advises everyone to laugh about things which happen, or about any other thing, instead of worrying and crying about them.

Seeing that society is at times drowning in the network of lies which systematically distort reality and transform many consumers into overconsuming but extremely happy overindulging zambies, Feelex Smart decided to follow aphorism writer Pro Fact's advise and laugh about it, instead of Ken Greenball's advice to react to things by saying, "Fuck it!"

Concisionism

The ideology which advocates concise thought, analysis, speech, and/or writing and consumption.

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.
