Cognitive Reframing

No, I know what it is that you do there.
Hym "Oh, I know. I know. But that's not what I give a shit about, shit-stick. I don't need my fucking cognition reframed. What you're saying here is that I can't control what you're doing, therefore, I need to LET YOU... Control how I'm responding... By way of cognitive reframing... Why? How about I choose a response that I feel is proportional and you just live with it until you die? How does that sound? And cut it out with the stolen fate, David Goggins-hell, ghost of Christmas future bullshit. You have to presuppose that I would be doing any of the shit these motherfuckers are doing. What I would be doing is the same thing I'm doing now, minus remedial labor, and I'd be playing Baldur's Gate 3 instead of Xcom 2. AND is a motherfucker steals my wallet the wallet is still mine. Is that what the fraud department is going to say? 'Well, under the auspices of "finders keepers, losers weepers," it's actually HIS credit card. You just have to let him use it indefinitely now' No. Get the fuck out of here with that."

Cognitive distortion

03/02, 17:06 Gary Santino: Cognitive distortion= emotional reasoning = quickest reflexative naturally existing biological component of the brain/mind architecture. This means fewer calories are required for the open-ended possibility of cerebral/ intellectual reasoning to fully examine any analysis of a topic.
03/02, 17:09 Gary Santino: In turn, mental reflexes generate neural pathways for thought processes to travel along without the necessity to commit a fully integrated process, for energy conservation

Therefore, to distrust your frame of reference, in turn, you end up liberating those knee jerk decision making reactions, which take place because you are predominantly using emotional maps.
What do you think of President X, well I think he's useless because he did this to his family.

Examples of bad parenting skills being used against someone's ability to run a countrys affairs, is a classic piece of cognitive distortion, which can be utilised by a political opponent, within a lazy electorate, who have succumbed to personality politics, not the politics on of itself, because of the immediate dopamine reward the brain delivers for the quickest response possible, without engaging an extensive amount of calories.

Cognitive Clutch Collapse (CCC) is a condition that occurs when a fan of LeBron James experiences a complete mental breakdown of logic and reality during basketball discussions, particularly involving his greatness. Symptoms include a complete denial of facts, an emotional overreaction to the slightest criticism, and the uncontrollable urge to defend LeBron at all costs, often by resorting to absurd and illogical arguments.
"Yo, someone get this nigga to a hospital QUICK, I think he got that new syndrome 'Cognitive Clutch Collapse (CCC).'

Dude can’t stop talkin' about LeBron, denying facts and shit... like he’s in a different dimension or somethin'. 😂🏀🧠"

Cognitive Superposition

Share definition
Cognitive Superposition is the state in which a belief, thought, or perception exists as a probability field rather than a definitive truth or falsehood. It remains fluid—existing somewhere between faith and skepticism, certainty and doubt—until an external force (experience, discussion, crisis, reflection) collapses it into a more definite stance.

This suggests that beliefs are not static, but dynamic, and the process of thinking itself is inherently quantum-like. Just as quantum particles exist in multiple states until observed, ideas and beliefs exist in a nebulous, fluctuating state until they are subjected to the forces of experience and perception.

Cognitive Superposition recognizes:

The fluidity of knowledge and belief.

That absolute certainty is often an illusion, as understanding is always in flux.

That shifts in perspective can occur naturally or be induced by external catalysts.

That thought itself is a probabilistic process, where multiple interpretations or realities can coexist until narrowed down through interaction with the self or the external world.

This framework acknowledges the paradox that while we seek definitive knowledge, our understanding is always evolving through interaction and reflection, creating a dynamic interplay between openness and resolution.
In the midst of the heated debate, Sarah experienced cognitive superposition, holding her belief about the issue in a fluid state, uncertain whether to trust her instincts or consider the new arguments presented until a conversation with a close friend helped her clarify her stance.
