Arendtianfeminism resists ironies of the cyberpunk altmanization of solarpunk swartz like a Minerva inspired Perseus giving gorgon haircuts, welcomes critique from refugee stranger, where speech itself already carries wisdom of "do unto others" in human siblinghood.

In a world dominated by the short form; circuit circumventing media, "Tick Tock / tick-tick" refers to a concept that has evolved alongside the digital age, primarily influenced by the advent of fast-paced, short-form media platforms, with TikTok being a prime example. Video killed the radiostar, and this term killed tldr, replacing it as the symbol the quickening pace of both media consumption and societal change because nobody even reads anymore. Originating from the simple mimicry of a clock's sound, it now encompasses a broader range of meanings. These include the traditional notion of time's progression and urgency, as well as varied colloquial uses. In everyday language, it appears as a flexible expression, adaptable to different contexts from casual conversation to specific subcultures. The term's adaptability reflects its ability to capture the nuances of contemporary life, serving as a linguistic tool that shifts in meaning according to its use and setting.

Hivemindidioms are prepackaged thought structures that replace thinking with socially ingrained expressions. They spread through cultural repetition, media reinforcement, institutional narratives, and interpersonal influence. By embedding ideological assumptions within speech, they shape perception and establish or reinforce social constructs through automatic repetition. Their spread is driven by habit, exposure, and social coercion, as individuals conform to group expectations. While they do not always dominate, they compete for influence over thought structures.
Hivemindidioms take many forms. Some enforce moral imperatives, others reduce complexity to binary choices or manifest as political slogans and cultural assumptions. Some use vicarious traumatization to impose a neoliberal scarcity mindset, making individuals believe resources, opportunities, and dignity must always be fought for. These structures are cataloged in the Idiomary Dictionary, which deconstructs their mechanisms and functions. The Collective Devaluation Paradox explains how they reduce cognitive engagement, forcing individuals to compensate for the absence of independent thought.
In GorgonWars, hivemindidioms drive Gorgonification, trapping individuals in prepackaged thought loops. They appear as snakes slithering through discourse, embedding themselves in collective consciousness.

When two friends or lovers who have not seen each other for a while enthusiastically move to greet one another, reminiscent of the many parodies and movies where this usually happens in a field of flowers.
Person 1: "When she got off the bus and they noticed each other, they both ran to hug and make out"
Person 2: "What a total field moment!"

A social phenomenon arising in the context of neoliberalism, a specific form of capitalism that not only encourages commodification but also promotes the moralization of that commodification. In this setting, individual gains, particularly those spurred by the moralization and normalization of commodified emotional labor, lead to collective losses. These losses manifest in forms such as systemic exploitation, increased mental health burdens, and perpetuated social inequalities. The paradox emerges from the mismatch between individual pursuits and collective well-being, exacerbated as governments and societal structures exploit surplus emotional labor, further normalizing its commodification. This exploitation, embedded in the dynamics of neoliberalism, contributes to the devaluation of collective emotional health and well-being.
A: you see that video of the nurse bike incident?
B: A Collective Devaluation Paradox.
A: wa?
B: A social phenomenon w/ often occurs in neoliberalism, a form of capitalism that not only encourages commodification but also promotes the moralization of that commodification. In situations like this, individual gains can lead to collective losses.
A: losses?
B: They manifest in various way, eg. systemic exploitation, increased mental health burdens, & perpetuated social inequalities. The paradox emerges from the mismatch between individual pursuit & collective well-being.
A: I see. So perhaps, in a world where emotional labor hadn't become moralized to become commodified, the men might have recognized the woman's situation - her role as a nurse, her apparent exhaustion & consider letting her take the bike as an act of kindness or empathy. But in our current society, where interpersonal interactions are often viewed through a capitalist lens, there's no societal expectation for them to do so. The moral obligation to consider the emotional state of others is diminished in the face of individual rights & possessions.
B: it doesn't stop there. Societal structures often exploit surplus emotional labor, which further normalizes its commodification. This exploitation, embedded in the dynamics of neoliberalism, contributes to the devaluation of collective emotional health & well-being. So, while everyone seeks individual gain, we have broader societal loss.
