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.

I don’t like characterizing people by their sociopoliticaleconomicidenity as some standpoint epistemology would have it, I prefer to believe in the possibility of reaching towards a shared humanity, regardless of age or ability, and that every human has value in and of themselves - regardless of SPEID or Sociopoliticaleconomicidentity.

Agoraikon (ἀγοραεικών, agoraeikṓn) is a word within contentinternet. It’s a public figure or entity that reaches icon status thru sustained engagement in collective discourse. An agoraikon is a recognizable yet permeable cultural presence, adapting to engagement rather than being fixed. Its significance emerges thru interaction, shaping & being shaped by public perception.
Agoraikons emerge thru multiple mechanisms. Typecasting & hivemindidioms reinforce recognition & structure engagement. Typecasting links figures to recurring archetypes across narratives. Hivemindidioms frame how an entity is engaged with, influencing interpretation & limiting or expanding discussion. Neither is required for an agoraikon to exist, but both shape how figures gain recognition & sustain presence in contentinternet.
Agoraikons are a tool to understand polymorphousmythology, which is both Jungian methodology & object of study. They show how cultural symbols evolve, interact, & persist across contexts, tracking the fluid relationship between archetypes, collective memory, & meaning formation.
Agoraikons engage as mediated entities in the fogofwar between gorgonwars & egregorewars. Even those aware of their subjectivity may treat eachother as agoraikons—see Dwight Schrute interviewing Walter White, who in polymorphousmythology is also seen as dad from Malcolm in the Middle. Perception shapes engagement regardless of individual awareness.

Degorgonify is a cognitive/cultural/dialectical practice in the contentinternet idiomary resisting & reversing Gorgonification—the degradation of conversations into repetitive hivemindidioms, superficial moralism & passive neoliberal subjectivity. Methods include: (1) Dialectical Provocation/Ironman Reasoning: challenging assumptions directly & engaging w/ strongest opposing views. (2) Sabachtan Logos/Axiological Ethics of Love (Agape): radical empathy & unconditional benefit-of-doubt to combat emotional commodification. (3) Idiomatic Resistance/Polymorphous Mythology: rejecting oversimplified ideological earworms (e.g., Mindflayer parasites, Baldur’s Gate 3 analogy) via continuous mythological reframing & reinstantiation. (4) Archon Analysis/Mythological Reinstantiation: uncovering & reinterpreting ideological power structures beneath neoliberal frameworks & historical trauma. (5) Mephistophelean Dialectics (Faust): dialectical methodology for critically engaging AI systems, countering cognitive shortcuts, external categorization & superficial algorithmic loops. Together these methods confront the collective devaluation paradox—the black hole of meaninglessness from repetitive superficiality. Research into Degorgonification remains ongoing process-philosophy in the contentinternet lexicon.
dude, she keeps using therapytalk and never stops using psychologisms. i just wana talk authentically.
No choice but to play the game bro, just do what that south park episode does. It is almost impossible to degorgonify in this climate of endless hivemindidiom snakes.

A literary device used in professional wrestling, kayfabe is the portrayal of staged events within the industry as "real" or "true", specifically the portrayal of competition, rivalries, and relationships between participants as being genuine and not of a staged or predetermined nature of any kind. Kayfabe has also evolved to become a code word of sorts for maintaining this "reality" within the direct or indirect presence of the general public.
