scientific living

Living by applying the scientific method to make the most important decisions, all along doing all one can to never make a decision based solely on an emotion.

Individuals who live scientifically make the most important decisions only after taking the scientific method's six steps: 1) asking a question, 2) doing background research, 3) constructing a hypothesis, 4) testing the hypothesis by doing an experiment, 5) analyzing the data and drawing a conclusion, and 6) writing down the results.

Scientific living also entails doing a great deal of observation, writing down as much as possible what one perceives, along with prioritizing, planning, and calculating likely outcomes.

The opposite of scientific living is living 'spur of the moment.'

Identity Imposition

Intentionally injecting a victim with a specific identity—which can be better or worse than their prevalent identity—by treating them in a certain way in order to manipulate him or her.

My mother is an intuitive master practitioner of identity imposition, she treats me like a genius somedays when we are on good terms, and like a fool when we fall into a conflict.

Imagined Echo

The echo of a sound which did not produce an echo, but which the brain hears after the sound was made because it replays a sound the individual just heard in order to facilitate comprehension and interpretation. Imagined echoes are the auditory equivalent of the images the eyes continue to see though the still image they saw is no longer visible. That scientifically proven phenomenon is called the "persistence of vision," and makes it possible for the 30 still images motion picture projectors display one after the other to create the optical illusion the brain interprets as continuous movement.

Dick Shakey was creating a song on his computers piano keyboard when he heard a jet airplane fly by. One second later, his brain replayed the sound of the jet engine for Richard to could hear it again and know what had just happened because when he heard the jet engine's sound the first time—immersed listening to the piano notes—he did hear the jet engine's distant roar, but because human listening is sometimes selective, ignored it. However, hearing the imagined echo blew his concentration, so he stood up, took a break, and submitted this new term to a new word website.

Identity-giving

Treating someone in certain ways to give them an identity that is better or worse than the one they have.

An example of identity-giving is when one day, someone treats someone else as if they were a genius, then on another day that person treats the person in ways that say that person is fool.

thought writing

Writing one's thoughts as one thinks them.

A thought writer sends his thoughts from his brain via his nerves to his hand which writes them and lets him see his thoughts transformed into words.

Thought writing' and 'thought typing' are not the same as writing. Writing asks the brain to articulate a thought or an emotion for the writer to write down.

Identity Giving

IDENTITY GIVING
Telling a person who or what they are or also treating them in certain ways to improve or deteriorate their identity and get them to do or not do something.

Some religions tell their followers they are "sinners"; other religions tell their followers they are "the chosen." Compliments such as "you are the best," or insults such as "you are a fucking idiot" are also examples of "identity giving".
