Grand Designs

Theoretical elaborations that sound great on paper but never get to be implemented or fail terrible when they do.

Designated Distraction

The person that was initially the designated driver who acts drunk and leaves the bar so the local cop follows him and pulls him over while all the other drunks leave the bar while the cop is busy with the designated distraction.
Bob, the sober one, leaves the bar and pretends that he has a hard time putting the key in the lock...then sits there for a moment leaning over the steering wheel. He drives out of the parking lot of the bar and the cop follows him as he drives just a hair under the speed limit and sways a bit, but still maintains the lane. The cop can't stand it so he pulls Bob over and asks Bob if he has been drinking. Bob says "No officer...I have not." Of course...while cop is busy with Bob...all the other people leave the bar. Then the cop gives Bob the sobriety test and finds out he really is OK and Bob says..."I told you that I had not been drinking...I am tonight's Designated Distraction.

designated listener

A person who may not understand what you're describing, but explaining a complex issue to them helps you better understand the problem, and therefore find a solution.
Although Jane does not know anything about machine learning she is happy to be John's designated listener when he describes the programming interface problems he is having with CHATGPT. In the process he was able to identify that he was using the wrong model/engine.

reality design

The design and implementation of a customized reality for an individual or a group of individuals to live in.
After working as a graphic designer in New York City, that profession's capital, for two decades, I turned to designing my own personal reality and call myself a Reality Designer, an individual who practices reality design.

Reality design observes and documents the current reality and finds ways to modify it to fit the needs of the client. It usually entails blocking out undesired things and supplanting them with desired things, as well as finding ways to facilitate the development and eventual realization of other desired situations and conditions which do not happen overnight.
