Commodification of Atheism

The process by which disbelief in gods is turned into a marketable product, identity brand, and revenue stream. It transforms atheism from a simple personal stance into merchandise (Darwin fish stickers, "Friendly Atheist" hoodies), lucrative speaking tours, Patreon-supported podcasts, and book deals. The "movement" becomes a marketplace where clout, audience size, and sales figures can become more important than philosophical coherence or ethical action. Your lack of belief becomes your brand.

*Example: "The commodification of atheism was complete when the big-name skeptic started hawking branded brain supplements on his podcast. 'Support critical thinking and get 10% off AlphaBrain with code RATIONALITY!' The audience wasn't a community of freethinkers anymore; it was a customer base for a lifestyle brand built on not believing in supernatural lifestyles."*

Commode-a-yoga

After learning yoga I found that performing some of the poses while having bowel movements help with the evacuation process.

Constipation has not been an issue since I started implementing commode-a-yoga.

Commodification of Debunking

The process by which debunking is transformed from an intellectual practice into a commodity—something to be bought, sold, packaged, and consumed. The Commodification of Debunking means that debunking becomes product: debunking videos with ads, debunking books with tours, debunking podcasts with sponsors. The commodity form shapes the content: debunking must be entertaining, accessible, repeatable, branded. It must generate intellectual property, build audiences, create franchises. The act of exposing falsehood becomes just another content category, subject to the same market forces as cooking shows or gaming streams.

"He's not just debunking myths—he's selling debunking merchandise, running debunking courses, licensing debunking content. That's the Commodification of Debunking—skepticism as intellectual property, exposure as export. The commodity isn't truth; it's the performance of truth-seeking, packaged and sold. Marx would have a field day: the debunkers have been debunked by capitalism."

Common Sense

Widespread, socially acceptable lies. It is used mainly by older people to insult people they disagree with.

"Too many illegal immigrants? Deport them all. Too many gang problems? Go buy a gun and shoot at them. Bad economy? Just cut the food stamp and all those welfare bulls***. That's just common sense."

"Climate changes all the time. I don't know why common sense is no longer common anymore."

Common decency

Something your boring roommate says to you when he doesn’t want to hear your bangers at 11:00 am on the day of the only darty that he will ever have the pleasure to enjoy.

“There’s a thing called common decency, and I don’t want to hear your music at 11:00 in the morning because I’m lame. Hee hee.”

Commonwealth cowboy

A "Commonwealth Cowboy" refers to men from smaller communities within Commonwealth nations (UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) who embody a blend of rugged practicality and quiet confidence. They are typically sturdy and dependable individuals, known for their willingness to work hard and their genuine, straightforward communication style. Unlike those focused on image, they possess practical skills and a grounded nature, offering a sense of security and respect through their competence and kindness. This archetype represents a refreshing authenticity rooted in real-world abilities rather than superficial displays.

Woman: On our way to dinner, my date pulled over to change a strangers tire, just said, “can’t leave ‘em stranded”. I swear men from the prairies are built different.

Friend: sounds like he’s a commonwealth cowboy
