observationalist

An observationalist is a person who makes a statement based on real-world assessments (observational comment) about specific people, places, and events happening around them. Observations are unlike racist or stereotype comments that are generalized statements about a group of people.

Antonyms: racism, stereotypes.

Remember kids, it's cool to be an observationalist. However, tossing around stereotypes or racist comments is never cool. Know the difference!
Stereotype: "All Asians are good at math."

An Observationalist says: "Those Asian kids (over there) are human Ti89s. Each one of them scored in the 98% percentile or higher of the math section of the SATs."

Stereotype: "All priests rape little boys."

An Observationalist says: "That priest is a pedophile. I saw him ask an eight year old boy if he could pillage his cornhole with the holy disco stick."

The Observer Effect

The act of looking at something changes it – an effect that holds true for people, animals, atoms, and even the particles that are, electrons and photons.
Kevin Usilton states, “The observer effect, however, is twofold. Observing changes what occurs, but observing also changes our perceptions of what occurs. Therefore, not observing something allows for infinite possibilities at the very same exact moment in time and space. Yet, as soon as we look at something, the infinite collapses into one exact thing -or- outcome. This is true for past, present and future once it is observed.”

Observasive 

The act of presenting personal observation as fact to further a cause.

'onserve 

To 'Onserve is to protect and preserve a person, place, animal, environment, or thing, so that others may benefit from its preservation in the future.

Derived from the word "conserve" and "conservation", 'onserve pays tribute to the former by dropping the "c" and adding a clever literary notation (') to replace the c.

By removing the negative sentiment "con", we can then adjust the language appropriate to the need, whereby the positive use of the word 'onserve or 'onservation can infer the language user to "serve onward" something of importance.

Language users may also use the former "conserve" when referring to language of a negative sentiment. For example: "the government and their conservation efforts precedes any good talent that they may of had."

Or

"Their ability to conserve our food supplies is an example of how well they are able to manage parliamentary office."

When we remove the word "con", we can then assist the positive tone of a word by negating the definition of the word "con", by replacing it with a positive influencing word such as "on".
For example: "During the winter months of war, we mad an attempt to 'onserve our food supplies by storing them in the snow."

Second example: "our 'onservation efforts were well rewarded with the passing of the snow as all good supplies did not spoil."
