Arbitrary Reality Fallacy

The logical error in which something is considered true or false based on arbitrary, often self-serving criteria rather than evidence or consistent standards. This fallacy is rampant in politics and economics, where the same person will demand "rigorous proof" for climate science while accepting election fraud claims based on a single Twitter post. Truth becomes a menu: you pick what you want to believe, and reality is just whatever supports your side. The arbitrary reality fallacy is how people can look at the same economy and one sees booming success while another sees crushing failure—both are looking, neither is using a consistent measuring stick, and both are convinced the other is delusional.
Example: "He used the arbitrary reality fallacy in every argument. When she cited unemployment statistics, he said government data was fake. When she cited private research, he said it was biased. When she cited his own previous statements, he said he'd been misquoted. Reality, for him, was whatever allowed him to win the argument. She stopped arguing, because you can't debate someone who brings their own facts and changes them as needed."

Illogical Reality Theory

The extension of Illogical Universe Theory to reality as a whole—the claim that reality, in its full depth, includes contradictions, paradoxes, and phenomena that resist logical systematization. Reality may not be a logical system; it may be a messy, layered, self-contradictory tapestry that logic can only partially map. Illogical Reality Theory doesn't abandon logic—it abandons the assumption that reality must be logical. Logic remains useful, but as a tool, not as a mirror. Reality may be bigger than logic, stranger than consistency, deeper than non-contradiction.
Illogical Reality Theory "Your philosophical system demands consistency. But look at your own life—you hold contradictory beliefs, feel conflicting emotions, act against your own interests. Illogical Reality Theory says: that's not failure; that's reality. Consistency is a human demand, not a cosmic given. Reality includes contradiction; your logic just has to deal."

Irrational Reality Theory

The claim that reality includes fundamentally irrational elements—not just non-logical but counter-rational, resistant to reason, perhaps even absurd. Irrational Reality Theory draws on existentialist and absurdist traditions: reality is not just indifferent to human concerns but actively absurd in its structure. Camus's absurd—the collision between human demand for meaning and reality's silent meaninglessness—is a version of this. Reality isn't just non-rational; it's irrational in the sense of frustrating reason, mocking it, exceeding it.
Irrational Reality Theory "You seek meaning; reality offers none. You seek justice; reality distributes suffering randomly. Irrational Reality Theory says: that's not accident—that's structure. Reality is irrational in the sense that it continually frustrates the very reason we use to understand it. The absurd isn't a mistake; it's the truth."

Counter-reality

The construction of alternative realities that are presented as if they were true—not hypotheticals but counterfactuals masquerading as facts. Counter-reality is what happens when "what if" becomes "what is" in someone's mind, when imagined alternatives are treated as actual realities. In online political debates, counter-reality is epidemic: people argue about events that never happened as if they did, about policies that were never implemented as if they were, about histories that never occurred as if they were fact. Counter-reality is the terrain of conspiracy theories, of historical revisionism, of every claim that substitutes imagination for evidence.
Example: "He argued passionately about the consequences of a policy that had never been implemented, citing 'facts' that existed only in his mind. Counter-reality had replaced reality: he was debating something that never happened, using evidence that never existed. There was no way to argue with him because he wasn't arguing about the world—he was arguing about a world he'd invented."

Neutral Reality Bias

A cognitive and meta-bias where an individual believes that the reality they inhabit—their society, online spaces, social media platforms, communities, or sources of information—is neutral, objective, and free from bias, when in fact it is shaped by specific interests, power structures, and cultural assumptions. Neutral Reality Bias is the illusion that your environment is simply "the way things are," not a constructed space with its own rules, biases, and agendas. On social media, it's believing your feed shows you "what's happening" rather than what algorithms choose to show you. In science communication, it's trusting that popular sources are simply reporting "the facts" rather than selecting and framing information. In society, it's assuming that dominant cultural norms are just "common sense" rather than particular ways of organizing life. Neutral Reality Bias makes the constructed appear natural, the biased appear neutral, the partial appear complete. It's the bias that protects other biases from examination—if your reality is neutral, you never have to question it.
Example: "He thought his Twitter feed was just 'what was happening'—neutral, objective, real. Neutral Reality Bias blinded him to the algorithm's role: selecting for outrage, amplifying conflict, shaping his perception. When she pointed out that his 'reality' was constructed, he dismissed her as biased. His reality was neutral; hers was political. The bias was invisible to him, which is how it worked."

Manifesting reality

You are not doing that Rob Reiner. We're you trying to "manifest" your son into a different son and then did you and your wife get stabbed for doing that? Because it looks like someone started a cult using on of my previous pseudonyms and not is telling people to use the weaponized schizophrenia to program their kids and now on 2 separate occasions those kids have murder their own parents... Which is exactly what I said would happen. So maybe just stop making shit up, huh? That's not what I'm doing.
Hym "I'm not manifesting reality you fuckng idiots stop trying to imitate me and stop listening to the guy who is impersonating me. This is why I keep insisting that you're stupid. I told you that this would happen 10 years ago and I have been prove right over and over again. How many of you need to get killed by your own kids before you get the picture? Is it 2 or maybe after the next one you'll finally get it. I mean, seriously. Who did you let tell you that it was a good idea to do that? Jamhal? Did Jamhal Beau claim to be Ndengei and the tell you to literally do any thing the opposite of everything I say? And you just did that? And that was smart to you? Stop manifesting reality. That isn't what I'm trying to do. That isn't what happened here. You shouldn't think that that is how this works. It is not how I actually suggested that this works. You are morons. It does not matter what I said, the delusions of moral superiority you generated in your head do not invalidate the substantive points I have made about things."
