paradigm shift

A moment of overcoming your own extreme sexual urge to weightlift for a period of time and then returning to the previous order of sanity.

Hold on carrey I'm going through a paradigm shift again looks like i'm done with the medicine ball. Jon went back to the bench again looks like a paradigm shift.

Paradigm Schiff

Pattern or model that twists all proof and facts to fit the narrative that only the product or service you sell contains value.

However the facts are looking, with a careful Paradigm Schiff you can still trick your customers to buy more of your shit, instead of making a good investment.

Paradigm Bias

The inability to see outside the conceptual box you’re already in. It’s the belief that your current model of understanding—your paradigm—is the only possible or correct way to view the world. Any information that doesn't fit is either ignored, forced to fit, or ridiculed. It's not just about having a point of view; it's about being so trapped within it that you can't even conceive of a valid alternative.

Example: "For decades, Paradigm Bias made musicians think the only way to record an album was in a million-dollar studio, until someone proved you could do it on a laptop."

Paradigm Mechanic

Someonr who can't change and entire system, process or worldview, but knows how to tweak it so it's less vile and ficked up.

There's no way we can defeat capitalism, just by ourselves, in the next few months but as paradigm mechanics, we can fuck it up enough to improve it for a lot of people.
