Confucius

One of the most influential thinkers of all time. He lived durring the Spring and Autum Period, durring the decline of Zhou China. Confucius tried and failed to obtain political office in his lifetime, and his greatest legacy is in the Analacets which his diciples compiled after his death.

Confucius stresses a simple life of filial piety and devotion to ritual. Like most great thinkers, his ideas would eventually be mangled beyond recognition by those seeking traditional justification for misogyny, xenophobia and a number of other nasty concepts espoused by Neo-Confucianists.

Confucius said, "The gentleman is not a tool".

Confucious clearly saw the rise of A&F.

Conscious awareness

The level to which you analyze and look over your actions and thoughts.

Some one with a high level of Conscious awareness is very likely to not get angry or angry for a long period, as they are quickly aware of this thought process and do not allow it to influence them in a negative way

Stream of Consciousness

A form of speech where the person speaking dumps all their thoughts out unfiltered, unedited and completely.

"I went to see my mom yesterday and she would not stop talking. She just kept going on and on about EVERY thought she had. I was drowning in the stream of consciousness she threw at me for an hour."

turd-conscious

to be aware of fecal girth and volume when using a toilet. if a deposit of feces is too large for the plumbing in question, an early "courtesy flush" is definitely in order, sometimes in mid-loaf.

if one is properly turd-conscious, no plumbing disasters will occur.

i was visiting my in-laws when i had to take a huge dump. fortunately i am turd-conscious and employed a quick courtesy flush; therefore, averting an embarrassing need for a plunger... or even worse, an overflow of tainted water.

buckbuckbuck consciousness

A term coined by a woman living in a seaside town in California where she realized that listening to the neighborhood chickens was a great way to meditate.

I begin each day attuning myself to the chickens as they make their wonderful sounds and so I call my resulting happiness buckbuckbuck consciousness!

conscious irony

Irony's tendency to reference itself in skeumorphic form from one culturally-manifestive medium to the next. Irony as a self-referencing (meta-meta - - > self-actualized) entity. Culturally-manifestive mediums include literary--> cinematic - - > existential - - > aesthetic - - > conscious.

Conscious irony or irony's ability to self - reference from one medium to the next implies that it is self-sentient; that consciousness is an attribute of irony rather than irony being an attribute of consciousness
