Classical liberal

“I got fired and now I have to shill for the conservatives so I don’t have to be a slave like the rest of the peasants 😢” ~ Fine one “classical liberal” who doesn’t have this exact backstory.... Go ahead.... I’ll wait... I actually DARE you to find a single one that doesn’t have this backstory. Classical liberals are the “Vindicators” of modern society.

Hym “Hey, Classical liberal... what do you believe?”

Classical liberal “Well, I believe whatever I need to believe to wield my grotesquely limited skill set against the populous...”

Hym “But what do you REALLY believe?”

Classical liberal “wHaT dO yOu mEaN bY bElIeVe!?!?!?”

Hym “Tsssk 🤦 ♂️.... Jesus Christ... Yeah... I see why you were fired... Ok. Hold on... Ok, I just started a business. You’re officially my first employee.”

Classical liberal “No thanks I...”

Hym “You’re fired.... Aw God, yeah...That’s better. Sorry but it’s almost impossible to NOT fire someone as tedious as you, I mean, holy shit! 😩 That feels so much better!”

Classical liberal “Iam! Please you have to hire me I’ll say whatever you want! 😭”

Iam “Wha... I... I don’t own a business. What are you... You didn’t even want the job! Stop... You're getting snot on me...”

Classical Liberal “PLEASE!!” 😭

Iam “I... I don’t know what to do here... You got fired by Hym so now you’re groveling at my feet for a job because... I’m the opposite? You don’t have to... I think he’s doing a bit... Are... Are you a part of the bit? I don’t understand what’s happening here...”

Hym “He can’t help it Iam... It’s in his nature. You have to hire him. If you don’t he’ll have to be like everyone else and work for his money! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!”

Classical argument

A more refined form of argumentation from simpler times. Unlike modern argument, where one party seeks to assert emotional dominance over the other through the employment of manipulative tactics, classical argument involves the pure exchange of information and growth of one's own understanding of the world. The outcome of a classical argument is the mutual growth of logical fluency, where both parties are able to recognize flaws in their own reasoning and leave with an improved philosophical maturity.

"We had a classical argument about the nature of free will in my philosophy class yesterday. It was super informative and really fun!"

Classical Cannabinoids

Classical cannabinoids are natural or synthetic AB-bi/ABC-tri/-cyclics incorporating a resorcinol or benzopyran core moiety. They can be simply described as structural analogs of THC and CBD.

"Substances like THC, CBD, CBN, THCV, Delta-8-THC, HHC, H4CBD, THCP, HHCP, HU-210, HU-243, AM-905, AM-087, AM-411, belong to the classical cannabinoid structural class."

"Classical cannabinoids aren't like the cannabinoids that went into spice/k2 smoke blends which belong to a completely different structural class."

"JWH-091 (D8-THCP) belongs to the classical cannabinoid structural class but JWH-018 belongs to the alkyl-naphthoylindole structural class, despite both being cannabinoid agonists, and the JWH nickname, they are structurally unrelated to eachother."

"Classical cannabinoids were the first structural class of cannabinoids to ever be discovered."

Classical Logic

The granddaddy of Western reasoning, originating with Aristotle and dominating philosophical thought for over two millennia. Classical Logic operates on binary principles: true/false, either/or, A/not-A. It assumes propositions have exactly one truth value, that contradictions are always errors, and that reality itself is structured in clean, discrete categories. It's the logic of mathematics, of computer science, of the kind of thinking that built modern civilization. It's also the logic that falls apart when you try to apply it to vague predicates, quantum states, or your complicated feelings about your ex.

"My philosophy professor runs on Classical Logic: either you read the assignment or you didn't. There's no 'I skimmed it while distracted by Twitter.' But in reality, that's a whole third category he refuses to acknowledge."

Classical Postmodernism

The foundational period of postmodern thought, roughly 1960s-1980s, marked by the work of thinkers like Derrida, Foucault, Lyotard, and Baudrillard. Classical Postmodernism established the core themes: the critique of grand narratives, the deconstruction of binary oppositions, the emphasis on difference, the recognition of the power-knowledge connection. It was a period of intense theoretical production, of radical questioning, of intellectual ferment. Classical Postmodernism remains the source text for all later postmodernisms—the origin from which everything else flows.

Example: "He started with the classical texts—Derrida on deconstruction, Foucault on discipline, Lyotard on postmodern condition. Classical Postmodernism was harder than he expected, stranger, more challenging. But it was also richer, more generative, more alive than the watered-down versions he'd encountered."
