exameraderie

A portmanteau of the words "exam" and "cameraderie"; the feeling of comradeship created before a big exam when you speak to your classmates - especially those you've never said a word to before - and realise that you're all completely fucked for it.
Steve and Alice spoke to each other before the big test and experienced a feeling of exameraderie when they realised they were both going to bomb out.

Kardashev Type 14.0 Exaversal Civilizations

An Exaversal civilization has ascended beyond the dichotomy of existence and non-existence. Its domain, the "Exaverse," encompasses all that is, all that is not, and all states in between (potential, impossible, imaginary). This civilization can manipulate paradoxical and impossible objects (like squared circles or stable universes where 2+2=5) by existing in a state that reconciles logical contradictions. Its power source is the ontological tension between being and nothingness.
Kardashev Type 14.0 Exaversal Civilizations *Example: The Living Tribunal of Marvel Comics, which judges entire multiverses, operates at a high level, but a Type 14.0 civilization would be the Courtroom, Law, and Judge for all possible Tribunals across all states of being and non-being. It could decree that a certain paradox shall exist simply because its nature allows it to hold mutually exclusive truths as valid.*

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
