The philosophical or political stance that true, meaningful autonomy is an illusion. All actions, decisions, and thoughts are ultimately determined by prior causes—biological, psychological, social, or environmental—leaving no room for a "self" that exists outside these causal chains to make a truly free choice. It's not just limited freedom; it's the argument that freedom, as commonly understood, doesn't exist. You are a billiard ball in a cosmic game, believing you're choosing your path while physics does all the work.
Theory of Absolute Disautonomy Example: A dictator who believes themselves a god-like, independent actor is, under Absolute Disautonomy, just as determined as their lowest subject. Their paranoia, their ambition, their decisions are the inevitable output of their genetics, childhood trauma, the geopolitical pressures of their region, and historical precedent. Their belief in their own free will is just another programmed response in the system.

Get the Theory of Absolute Disautonomy mug.The idea that an individual, organization, or state possesses a limited degree of freedom, but this freedom is always conditional and exists within a web of external constraints, dependencies, and coercive influences. You have the illusion of choice, but your options are pre-filtered by larger systems (economic, political, algorithmic). It's autonomy with an asterisk—you can steer, but the road, the map, and the destination are largely determined by forces beyond your control. Your "free will" is exercised within a heavily patrolled playground.
Theory of Relative Disautonomy Example: A social media influencer has Relative Disautonomy. They can choose what brand to promote or what political take to voice, but their entire livelihood depends on an algorithm's favor, advertiser sentiment, and platform rules that can change overnight. They are free to dance, but only on a platform owned by someone else, who can pull the trapdoor at any time.

Side effects may include addiction, the worsening of mental health, having to deal with trolls/new-gens, and having to witness random meaningless drama.
However, Discussions has gradually fallen off ever since some point in early 2025, slowly succumbing to its inevitable heat death.
(Or will it?)
Quick History:
- Discussions added to the BFDI Wiki in 2018.
- please talk to me (quite possibly the greatest mega-thread on all of fandom) is born in April of 2020.
- idiot wikians decide to raid paw patrol wiki in 2021/22
- Discussions is shut down in 2022. (Reason likely being the drama.)
- Discussions returns around late-2022 or early-2023 as a second chance.
- Off-topic gets banned sometime in 2023. (It gradually gets less and less enforced.)
- Eventually, off-topic is no longer enforced to the point where the ban is essentially lifted. (However, the category stays archived.)
- The greatest year of the wiki, 2024, takes place.
- damn 2025 the fall-off is real
