unannihilatable

Definition: Incapable of being completely destroyed or obliterated. This term typically refers to something that possesses an inherent quality of indestructibility or an ability to withstand any form of annihilation, whether physical, conceptual, or existential. It is often used in contexts involving discussions of objects, beings, or ideas that can endure extreme conditions, resist total destruction, or continue to exist in some form despite attempts to eradicate them.
“The ancient civilization built a monument so robust and ingeniously designed that it seemed unannihilatable, even by the relentless forces of time and nature.”

Uncanny Valley

The Uncanny Valley is a feeling of mixed emotions, like disgust and familiarity at the same time. Like feeling love and hate at the same time, with little in between. People with certain personalities can evoke uncanny valley feelings, people with narcissism, or certain mental health conditions that have a duality to them, can evoke feelings of sympathy and contempt at the same time. It can be expressed mathematically as a reverse bell curve.
The Uncanny Valley of Narcissism is that the person is simulatenously charming and cruel, affectionate and withholding, super fun, yet boring, opinionated, yet stands for nothing. Because you never know if you're getting jekyll or hyde, the target feels an uncanny valley of emotions.

Uncanny Valley

/ʌnˌkæn.i ˈvæl.i/ noun.

A cognitive phenomenon identified by robotics professor Masahiro Mori in 1970, the 'Uncanny Valley' effect is an inverted bell curve signifying a general tendency of humans to experience less affinity for mechanical objects as their appearance, movements, and sounds approach human resemblance as a robot. This decline in affinity becomes discomfort because as the machine more approximates a human body and head, and peaks where the face most accurately resembles a human face while the expressions it is programmed with, not being as intricate or precise as real human expressions, create a more 'alive but inhuman' impression.
As the physical appearance, movements, expressions, and vocalizations of the robot begin to more approximate those of a human, that 'creep factor' declines until the human form, face, movements, expressions, and vocalizations (and perhaps scents, breathing patterns, and pulse) is replicated by the robot at which point human discomfort with the robot would, theoretically, vanish.
"I just met Ron DeSantis and shook his hand. It was so cold and clammy. All my hairs stood on end and I was shaking because the uncanny valley feeling he gave me... dude, I need a drink. He's not real. He's just... he's not human. No soul.... no soul... no soul. Let's get that drink. Dude? Dude, what are you looking at? Why aren't you looking at m...

"Shhhh honey, it's okay. It was just a dream. I'm here now."

"Is that Dozer under the covers with us?"

"Yeah honey." *too Dozer under covers* "Hey Dozie! Who's a good boy! See honey? It's Dozer."
*Throws cover off*

"Hi Buddy! I'm Ron DeSantis and I eat children.... 's textbooks. I mean meet, uhhh. oh, 'yeetie'. I 'yeetie' children's..."
