Mental Masturbation

Intellectual activity that serves no practical purpose. Excessively theoretical, and therefore a distraction from more practicable matters.

Dr. Richard Dawkins, noted biological theorist, in response to a student's philosophical question about skeptical attitudes towards science and reality, cited the following anecdote:

<paraphrasing>
James Boswell asked, "... nothing really exists unless there's somebody there to see it. How do you refute that?" Samuel Johnson replied, "I refute it thus!", and kicked a stone out of his way.
<\paraphrasing>

Dr. Dawkins, commenting on Boswell's question, and critiquing the attitude: "If you want to mess about with that sort of mental masturbation, thats fine, but, ... but the science of reality is what gets you through the day, ... and makes things work!"

Chamberlain Mentality

A leader or a leader of a collective group with a thinking process similar to that of Neville Chamberlain who stated "We have achieved peace for our time." Unfortunately he did not, as the guns erupted again across Europe 1 September 1939. In clnclusion, a very dangerous and delusionary mindset.

The declaration of the current House Speaker that we can simply leave Iraq quickly and En Masse without paying for it down the road (a more massive war at a later date) is evidence that there is a serious issue regarding a Chamberlain Mentality.

Mental patient

A mental patient is a person who wants to see one of their collegues at work fired (or see their contract not extended, etc.).

They try to get their target paranoid, and if the target doesn't become paranoid, they try to make it look to the other collegeues as though the target is paranoid, they will try a devil's switch, which is where they fuck something up and make it look as though their target fucked it up, and they will try and ostrecise the target from others in the company.

They often work in groups, accross companies, and target the same individual.

The mental patient targetted George. He had to move to another company, then another mental patient started giving him shit, so he moved to another company, and he was targeted there too.

All of the mental patients had been in contact with each-other
