Fooled by Objectivity Theory

A framework revealing how the ideal of objectivity can mislead—by pretending that anyone can occupy a "view from nowhere," by hiding the subjective choices that shape all observation, and by using "objectivity" to dismiss perspectives that don't fit dominant frameworks. Fooled by Objectivity Theory shows how claims to objectivity often mask particular interests, how the appearance of neutrality can be a weapon against the marginalized, and how the pursuit of objectivity can become a form of blindness. We are fooled when we think we're objective, when we mistake our perspective for reality itself.

Fooled by Objectivity Theory "I'm objective; you're biased." Fooled by Objectivity: treating one's own perspective as neutral, others' as partial. The speaker didn't see their own position, their own history, their own interests. Objectivity fooled them into thinking they had none. But everyone has a somewhere; pretending you don't is the surest way to be fooled by where you stand."

Easily Distracted (by Shiny Objects)

A parody band. Also called EDBSO for short. Comprised of three members, Nick Roome, Kele Powell, and Joey Ebert. Kele is more focused on the writing as opposed to the singing, which happens to be Joey's forte, while Nick is somewhere in the middle. They have several parodies created including, but not limited to the following:
Get in shape (Gwen Stefani, Sweet Escape)
Computer Log on (Simple Plan, Untitled)
Crappy Little Corvette (All American Rejects, Dirty Little Secret)
You Give my Tooth a Bad Pain (Bon Jovi, You Give Love a Bad Name)

Easily Distracted (by Shiny Objects) is the most awesomest band ever!

Obscured By Clouds

One very kick-ass Pink Floyd album released in 1972. Was a soundtrack to the movie 'The Valley'.

My favourite song on Obscured By Clouds is Childhood's End.

Obscured by Clouds

A very under-rated, super sweet, Pink Floyd Album.
It's not mentioned much unlike Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Wish you were Here....But it should be! Personally, I like this album and Piper at the Gates of Dawn, best. If you're not a true Pink Floyd fan, you have no idea what I'm talking about.:

iluvjbros12: Omgzzz i just went 2 hot topic and got a dark side of the moon shrt!

Obfuscation by initialism

To cloud, confuse, or mislead by extensive use of initialisms (abbreviations using initial letters pronounced separately).

Jim's statement was ridiculous, all he did was practice obfuscation by initialism. "FYI, tell the CEO we will achieve incredible growth with our OEM by defining the SOP in SAP ECC and using sCRM."
