Consciousness

And, again, does MY consciousness play a role in the selection? Or is it just hypergamy and evolutionary biology? Asking for a friend.
Hym "Does evolutionary biology select for consciousness? Noooo. No it doesn't. I've heard you recite it so many times. Didn't ONCE mention consciousness. So, consciousness isn't what's being selected but it IS what does the selecting? If I recall MY position was that consciousness should matter. That's MY position. Not yours. It doesn't. It's not a factor. Does it bother you being wrong all the time?"

clouding of consciousness

(A disorder: the cure is within yourself) When one finds it hard to think or find the right words to say in any situation. The feeling of a cloud in your mind fogging up your intelligence and knowledge. Depersonalization. If you feel out of touch with the world just, "Be water, my friend"-Bruce Lee (being able to become and adapt to anything your put in like how water becomes a bottle if its pour it in it, or how water becomes a cup if you poured it in that).
If somebody is talking about a subject you love and you want to join in the conversation but just don't have the words to make it interesting or as if you know anything on the subject, that's the clouding of consciousness. Might not make sense to people, but that's probably because you live in the normal social world while I'm desperately trying to get there, but these two demons named Awkward and Anxiety keep trying to prevent me from getting to my destination.

contafious

adj. - contagious, addictive, esp. with music - not always used in a positive sense. Etymology: a "mashup" of the words contagious and Fious. Fious is a city in Cameroon, a West African nation with a substantial petroleum industry. In this context, the reference to Fious is a reference to the Western addiction to oil as an energy source, meaning that 'Fious' is used as a stand-in for 'addictive.'
Ex. "I don't really like that Diddy song, but it's so contafious."

consciousism

A value judgment based on the level of consciousness of any object, animate or inanimate. Typically, the “higher” the consciousness, the more valuable the object is deemed. For example, humans are considered (by most humans) to be of more worth than other animals like rats; in turn, all animals are considered more valuable than plants, which are considered more valuable than rocks, and so forth. A consciousist is one who subscribes to value judgments based on the level of consciousness.
Her priviliging of non-retarded children over retarded children was a form of consciousism, since she made value judgments based on the children's levels of consciousness.
