Synthetic Realness

When something looks and feels real enough to pass… but you know deep down it’s manufactured. Can apply to AI influencers, staged “candid” photos, or that brand new dive bar that spent millions to look old and grimy.

My office has a 'fun zone' with bean bags and foosball. It’s all synthetic realness to distract from the 12-hour workdays.

Manifesting reality

You are not doing that Rob Reiner. We're you trying to "manifest" your son into a different son and then did you and your wife get stabbed for doing that? Because it looks like someone started a cult using on of my previous pseudonyms and not is telling people to use the weaponized schizophrenia to program their kids and now on 2 separate occasions those kids have murder their own parents... Which is exactly what I said would happen. So maybe just stop making shit up, huh? That's not what I'm doing.

Hym "I'm not manifesting reality you fuckng idiots stop trying to imitate me and stop listening to the guy who is impersonating me. This is why I keep insisting that you're stupid. I told you that this would happen 10 years ago and I have been prove right over and over again. How many of you need to get killed by your own kids before you get the picture? Is it 2 or maybe after the next one you'll finally get it. I mean, seriously. Who did you let tell you that it was a good idea to do that? Jamhal? Did Jamhal Beau claim to be Ndengei and the tell you to literally do any thing the opposite of everything I say? And you just did that? And that was smart to you? Stop manifesting reality. That isn't what I'm trying to do. That isn't what happened here. You shouldn't think that that is how this works. It is not how I actually suggested that this works. You are morons. It does not matter what I said, the delusions of moral superiority you generated in your head do not invalidate the substantive points I have made about things."

Nah really?

The reply to someone who asked a obvious question that is right infront of their eyes.

Leon: AH dang! My car broke down! *he pulls over on the side of the road*
Jane: Oh, The wheels popped!
Leon: Nah really? I CAN SEE THAT!

Cognitive Realism

The position that our internal cognitive representations (concepts, schemas, mental models) accurately mirror the external world. Our minds are like maps that, while not perfect, are fundamentally aligned with the territory. Truth is about correspondence between thought and reality, and through reason and perception, we can progressively refine our maps to be more accurate.

Cognitive Realism believes that the concept of "tree" in your mind, while simplified, corresponds to an actual class of objects with shared properties (roots, trunk, leaves) that exist independently of you. Scientific models, like the heliocentric solar system, are triumphantly realistic maps that displaced less accurate ones (geocentrism). When you learn a new fact and update your belief, you're moving your cognitive map closer to reality.

The Hobbie Realms

A message board designed to making stupid, filthy n00bs feel like they're good, and a place where lives are wasted. (Cosmo)

The Hobbie Realms is constructed on the formation of sweating the nuts of "the Big 4" and felching much ass.
