Pareidophenia

A portmanteau of Pareidolia and Apophenia that refers to the false perception of intentional creation. It calls upon the idea of perceiving a more metaphorical face of some creative thinking intelligence.

Example: Code written by a computer can be utterly incomprehensible to a human yet the accomplishment of such a complex task looks like it requires the work of an intelligent being.

Etymology:

pára "beside" or "contrary to" and eîdos or "form" from pareidolia

phaínō or "appear" from apophenia

When a person believes evolution requires conscious guidance, they are just experiencing Pareidophenia because they have never understood what it is like to be a programmer looking at the incomprehensible yet effective output of a genetic algorithm written by their own hand.

Parenitial

A parenitial is the concept of the action parenitialt, it means to parent the initial acceptance of an idea or information, disregarding the depth of source. To absorb the idea or information no matter if you do not agree. Once you have formed a parenitial within yourself you can either create space for this understanding or you can resolve the difference without debating your own understanding and instead invoke a parallel existence using calm acknowledgement.

I do not wish to extend this conversation, I am not willing to parenitialt with you or create a parenitial within myself.

Parent

A miserable person wishing to fulfill the goal through his well developed sperm, yet not accepting a goal of their kid they already did, therefore being happy and popular is cool but sex and nicotine addiction are bad.

Can be uses both as a gift and a curse.
