The branch of science which studies how to make people, places, and/or things disappear and reappear where they disappeared from or elsewhere.
Mr. Nauyouseeim Nauyudount is one of the few people licensed to disappear and reappear. At a college which teaches Invisibility Science, he is giving a demonstration of his ability to disappear at will and tells the audience, "One second after I snap my fingers I will disappear." He snaps his fingers and vanishes. One loud “AHHH!” floods the auditorium as everyone present reacts to his announced disappearance. One minute later, he reappears on the opposite side of the stage from where he disappeared. Another loud “AHHH!” floods the auditorium as everyone reacts to his reappearance. "Any questions?" he asks the audience. A young lady stands up and asks him, "Where did you go when you disappeared?” "I went into a different dimension... which also exists in the same place where I disappeared from," he says.

A substandard way of living in which the individual may be unaware or is fooling himself into believing that he or she is living at the highest or correct level.
Underliving is usually a consequence of factors such as ignorance, mental blocks, emotional disturbances, trauma, a lack of imagination, the habit of underliving, having grown-up in a family and/or neighborhood where most people underlived, the lack of good examples and role models, and other foolish reasons such as fear of success.
Because different people have different goals and standards, what one individual may consider to be underliving, another individual may consider to be living correctly, thus well.
Overall, compared to Americans and people in other highly (materially) highly developed nations, approximately 90% of the people who live in developing nations can be said to be underliving. Some Americans also underlive.
The Ph.D. candidate realized that he was not eating and dressing as well as he could afford to because he was stuck in the habit of underliving.

An individual who repeats an error.
My Mother made me realize that there are people who continually repeat an action they were informed, know, and should remember is an error. They might repeat an error because they forgot it was wrong to do it, or due to some other mental incapacity. I realized she was an “error-repeater”, but that that term is new, so I decided to submitted it to this excellent website that is increasing the body of knowledge and improving everything.

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.

Disrespectful, inconsiderate, and at times aggressive and ultimately hurtful marketing to help manufacturers and retailers take as much advantage of consumers as possible.
Decades ago every item sold in a store had a price tag, now the retailers don't waste energy, thus money, sticking a price tag on each item or at least displaying a sign that informs consumers the price. That is just one example of predatory marketing. My definition of 'predatory marketing' is different than a more common one which states that it is any activity instigated—usually, by the larger manufacturer—to tangibly harm or eliminate smaller competitiors.

Any person, place or thing which allows the individual who uses it or interacts with it to exert power or simply feel more powerful by interacting with it.
Some examples of power objects are famous people, movie stars, celebrities, politicians; computers , the Web; cigarettes; all vehicles; all weapons—from a knife to an atomic bomb; a penis (it helps create a life; a vagina (it can reward and also pussywip; a beautiful face or rear end—because either one or both can reel-in a man; pens—because they record ideas; all electronic devices; all buildings; highways; cookware (they let people feed themselves); beds (they let people rest and recuperate and create babies); jaccuzzies, showers; and... toilets—because they let people get rid of their body's waste products, etc. Garbage cans and "pregnancy prevention" devices (mistakenly called "birth control" devices) are also power objects because the former isolate garbage to be removed by workers, and the latter give users the power to engage in sexual intercourse but prevent a pregnancy.
And though the air and water appear to not be power objects, their correct evaluation reveals that they are extremely powerful because they are indispensable to sustain life. Therefore, fruits and vegetables can also be considered power objects.
Some examples of things which are generally not power objects are the grass; fruitless trees; clouds; the ocean; birds and most other animals, though horses, for example, could be considered power objects because they increase the rider's powers, and strong dogs—such as Dobermann Pinchers—are also power objects because they protect their owners.
