creative reaction

A moment of unlimited potential, where energy and creativity are released in high yields. (A more descriptive term for "being in the zone", the phrase it replaces.) The conditions necessary for a creative reaction are a well-engineered infrastructure, simplified business procedures, and productivity skills which enable creatives to shut out distractions, make the most of available time, and be energized. When these conditions are met, the spark of creativity is all that is needed for a creative reaction to occur.

I shut my door, turned the ringer off, then quit out of chat & e-mail. I got SO MUCH of my screenplay done. Creative reaction is the only way to describe it!

reactionary

A term used by college socialists and neo-Marxists to describe anyone with political views to the right of Mao. The word has its roots in the Communist model of history, where all of human history is supposedly one long class struggle between the working class and the bourgeois.

Chuck took an Uber on the Uber strike day! And last week, he told me he doesn’t believe in a 90% tax rate for the rich. He’s such a reactionary.

class reductionism

The idea that class-based oppression should be the foremost concern among revolutionaries, with things like gender, race, sexual orientation, etc, taking a back seat until 'after the revolution.' For the most part the term is used as a pejorative by liberals against socialists and materialists, rather than being advocated by anyone.

"Bernie Sanders disappointment with Hillary Clinton's failure to secure the support of white working-class voters in the 2016 presidential election was a grotesque display of class reductionism, cultural insensitivity, racism, sexism and homophobia"

Redaction Highlighter

Black permanent marker with a thick or flat tip as used to redact paperwork. Essentially the opposite effect of a highlighter.

"This document has some classified information on it, could you pass me the redaction highlighter?"
