PostDocalypse

The cultural epoch accompanying the impending collapse in prestige of higher education as vast oversupplies of professional academicians epically fail at life vying for imaginary positions in nonexistent job markets for debt-laden intellectuals who know absolutely nothing about anything that is capable of turning a profit

“I was certain that ... once I racked up $120K in debt on 5 years of Ivy League undergrad and then wasted the earning potential of my 20’s surviving on Ramen in a post grad program preparing to piss away all future job prospects obtaining a PhD in ideological bullshit ... surely I would finally be positioned to achieve true fulfillment in the 2nd half of my life.”

— earliest known suicide note of the PostDocalypse, written circa 2019 on the back of a FAFSA print out

postdiction

Brian Miller writes: Postdiction is an explanation after the event: the lamest and laziest form of prophecy.

In skepticism, it is considered an effect of hindsight-bias that (only afterwards) explains claimed predictions of significant events.

Happens often at race-tracks and masked wine tastings.

Larry Lockshin adds: "I knew it." Used extensively in business case studies, which often purport to cause and effect: they did this, and that happened.

It is not a predictor of outcomes for those following the claims.

A typical postdiction might be:

It was after I switched from Corn Flakes to Rice Krispies that women started to notice me. You should try Rice Krispies. They could work for you too...

PPSD: Post Potter Shock Disorder

Post Potter Shock Disorder. A person with PPSD suffers from psychological shock and numbness to the realization that Harry Potter is truly over. Symptoms of PPSD may include:

-Drawing a lightning bolt on one's forehead or, in more extreme cases, self-inflicting an actual scar

-Re-reading the entire series in the hope that an eighth book will magically appear, then crying when it isn't there.

-Watching all 8 movies in one day

-Staying in the theater long after the credits for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two roll, staring at the screen with a zombie-like expression.

-Constantly quoting the books and/or movies, and shouting spells during moments of need

-Calling up other Potter-heads and discussing their inability to believe that it is over

-Feeling as if their best friend who grew up with them has died

-Planning Harry Potter related events

-Having a strong urge to recreate the movies, film parodies, or write a sequel series.

See that kid over there writhing on the floor crying and hugging a Harry Potter book? Yeah man, he totally has PPSD: Post Potter Shock Disorder.
