Some dude gave me advice on eating disorders at Mac D's and claimed that the food additives had addictive properties creating a mental cycle of "food abuse". I asked if he was some kind of armchair psychologist or a something, grabbed my number one with cheese and bounced. Fucker was right or was he?

psychohistory

Psychohistory is a fictional term first described in Isaak Asimov's classic novel Foundation.

In a nutshell it's the science that can predict the future.
The greatest psychohistorian of all time was Hari Seldon.

psychological nudity

A state of mental and emotional honesty. When all pretense, prejudice, expectations, bravado, etc. are removed, and all that is left is the bare mind. Pure thought (not necessarily pure as in good) is more readily accomplished when one is psychologically nude. Note that psychological nudity has nothing to do with the amount of clothing one is (or is not) wearing; it is a mental state.
After half an hour of chipping away at my preconceived ideas, I could finally see what she was talking about. Fully clothed, I experienced psychological nudity.
