Deterministic nominativism

Someone with a specific career may have an urge to change their name to something that matches their career in some way. Similar to nominative determinism except the name changes to match the career as opposed to the other way around.

Mick the mattress salesman has changed his name to Mattress Mick. I guess he had a case of deterministic nominativism.

Pussy Determined

Hanging with a girl and let her pretend she tells you what to do.so you can have sex with her resulting in success. Instead of being pussy whipped where the girl controls you and tells you what to do resulting in failure.

Pedro: I don't think I can make it tomorrow hanging out with the girl
Jose: Wow you're already pussy-whipped
Pedro:I would say I'm pussy determined..I have to show interest to get laid.

Dot-determined

When someone is attracted or likes to eat/lick dots, they are dot-determined.

Look at Greg, he is so dot-determined, he licks the dots on the wall when nobody is looking.

generative determinism

A theory of anthropology in which disproportionately female-inherited genetic variation causes a culture to adopt a fatalistic (spectralistic) religion; whereas disproportionately male-inherited genetic variation causes a tribe to adopt a deterministic (particularistic) religion.

Generative determinism demonstrates that anti-semitism is ontologistic.

Generative determinism resolves GENETIC determinism.

Genetic determinism furthermore proves that ontologism IS causation.

Cognitive Determinism

The theory that our thoughts, beliefs, and even our conscious reasoning processes are determined by prior causes—our genetics, upbringing, culture, and past experiences—that shape our cognitive frameworks. You think what you think because of your cognitive programming; "changing your mind" is just the output of a deterministic process of new inputs interacting with old programming.

Example: You encounter a persuasive political argument. Cognitive determinism would say whether you find it convincing isn't a free evaluation of pure reason, but is predetermined by your existing ideological schema, the trust you have in the speaker (based on past experiences), and your social group's norms. Your "rational conclusion" was the only possible output given your cognitive starting conditions. Advertising works on this principle, aiming to deterministically rewire cognitive associations (Coca-Cola = happiness).

Cognitive Determinism

The strong, hardcore version of Cognitive Realism. It asserts that our cognitive structures don't just influence but fundamentally determine and limit the boundaries of our possible experience. What we call "reality" is an inescapable projection of our neural wiring; we cannot perceive, conceive of, or even imagine anything outside the categories our brains provide. It's not that we see the world through a tinted window; it's that we are the window, and everything we see is a property of the glass.

Example: "Trying to imagine a truly new color is the prison of Cognitive Determinism. My brain's visual system is built from combinations of red, green, and blue photoreceptors. Every color I can experience or dream of is just a mix of those. A 'new' color outside that RGB triangle is cognitively impossible for me. My reality isn't just shaped by my senses; its entire color palette is predetermined by them."
