Inter-membral

I created the word ‘inter-membral’ as a way to break through the limiting boundaries of colonialist vocabulary. A conversation about “the refugee problem” set in the context of a country that delivers weaponry to aggressors to maintain exploitation that is beneficial to them, is an example of a conversation that can’t be held in a vacuum, but that needs to be discussed “intermembrally”.

“Precisely because they too are specimens of modern thought, the available critical tools cannot support an ethico-political intervention capable of undermining cultural difference’s capacity to produce an unbridgeable ethical divide.”- Denise Fereira da Silva
As the language these tools speak is created and pursued in and for a context of oppression, it is impossible to break out of them without changing our vocabulary.

And so I created a word that can signify that in a text or in an argument I am encompassing many truths and existants. As Da Silva says we; ´could image The World as a Plenum, an infinite composition in which each existant’s singularity is contingent upon its becoming one possible expression of all the other existants, with which it is entangled beyond space and time.´

If we can embody the belief that we are indeed connected to and entangled with all, we can start taking responsibility in our actions.

In this text I will be speaking from an inter-membral, place, so keep this in consideration when encountering anecdotes, mythes, conversations, pictures, graphs and other, all is part of this story.

Inter-emission

The random sex scenes thrown into movies and tv shows.
Person 1: " Why does every show have an inter-emission randomly thrown in? It kills the momentum."

Person 2: " I guess the producers expect you jack off halfway through the show."

Obrivational Interation

Obrivational Interation (OI) is a unit that measures how efficiently a person processes human-level understanding — like humor, emotion, and social nuance — rather than pure logic or academics.

While IQ (Intelligence Quotient) measures intellectual capability, OI reflects one’s relatability quotient — how well they “get” people, jokes, sarcasm, and emotional rhythm in real interations.

Description:

A person with high OI can pick up on humor, body language, tone, and emotional cues instantly — they just get the vibe.
A person with low OI may excel in logic, reasoning, and abstract topics, but completely miss obvious jokes or social cues.

It’s not about being dumb or smart — it’s about how aligned your brain is with the human frequency.
Friend 1: “Bro cracked a complex physics problem in 2 minutes but didn’t get a knock-knock joke.”
Friend 2: “Yeah, his Obrivational Interation is in negative.”

“She’s got average IQ but sky-high OI — she reads people like books.”

“That joke went right over his head, man’s OI still buffering.”
