When a person has the sensation of all-knowing about a subject having gained only a small amount of information about it. Since most introductory courses touch over basics of the entire scope of the given topic, the person immediately feels as if he/she is an expert on it. In conversation however, it becomes clear that this person has absolutely no idea what he/she is talking about.
The order of competence is as follows:
1) Ignorance is bliss: The person knows they have no idea about the subject and acts accordingly.
2) 101 Syndrome: Someone learns a little bit about it from one source or another and feels like they know everything about it.
3) Further education: You learn half the things you were taught were wrong and the other half oversimplified.
4) True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing: When you learn enough about anything, you realize no one has a clue how anything actually works.

Get the Morris Syndrome mug.Santa syndrome is a psychological syndrome in which affected individuals to ultimately accept atheism. Most individuals discover or are told that the supernatural aspects associated with the Christian tradition of Santa Claus, such as him riding a sleigh led by reindeer and giving all good children around the world Christmas presents, are legend and are simply practiced in order to enrich the experience of celebrating the holy day. However, individuals with Santa syndrome are often abnormally bitter about this finding and as a result, move further to reject the existence of God, which has been firmly established in the Five Ways, Kalam Cosmological Argument, etc.
The militant atheist came to deny the existence of God after suffering from Santa Syndrome in his/her youth.

Get the Santa syndrome mug.The game people play when one likes someone but the other likes them back(even a little) yet, plays mind games and they meet new people but once they are lost or bored, they come running back to the one that liked them. Over time the person starts to give up/not care on the one they liked cause they know they fell a little too hard and don't want to hurt no more.But every time that other slighty come back, all those frustrating thoughts run through one's mind again. And it's like an infectious circle that doesn't really stop for a whileee.
