open secret

A secret that everyone knows.
VTubers' past life and face reveals are a good example for this. You may recognize their voice but you're still not allowed to tell the open secret because that would be doxxing.

Open Individualism

The idea that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. It's contrasted with Closed Individualism and Empty Individualism, 2 other philosophies of personal identity. Closed Individualism is the standard common sense view of identity where "you" start existing when you're born, and stop existing when you die. "You" are essentially a line or line segment existing throughout time. Empty Individualism is the idea that you only exist for a single moment. Every moment you die, and a new consciousness arises in your body to take its place, thinking they're you. Buddhists have a similar philosophy called anattā about the existence of the self. Andy Weir's short story The Egg also has similar ideas.

a humorous way of referring to the Berlin Wall.

It effectively acted as a "letter opener," preventing communication and movement between the two sides.
We were expecting letters from our family in the USSR, but never heard from them, due to the "Soviet letter opener machinery" keeping people from emigrating and preventing brain drain.
