Self-reflection Selfie

A self-imposed image taken with a selfie camera usually expressing a picture of person’s face after a successful moment of self-accomplishment performing a task that nobody but the picture taker cares about. This selfie can also occur in the moments of a person’s boredom where it is accompanied by a philosophical reference or caption expressing a deep lesson learned, an important self-accomplishment or very insightful self-awareness.

Such photos are meant to socially establish credibility of profound wisdom to the person posting the image and caption about themselves, but often the reference is shallow at best, and serves the purpose of attention seeking individuals who have low self-esteem, little credibility, and little wisdom, if any on the philosophical message emphasized.

Lastly, images are usually of the persons face looking glaringly empty into space or directly at the camera, or after a period of physical exertion to emphasize the struggle that led to such credibility.
Oh look! Lucy has posted her 15th self-reflection selfie this week about how she burned out from her job and is now an executive coach on the subject. Man, if I’m struggling at work, can’t wait to talk to her.

Jeez Gary! He posted another self-reflection selfie about how his commitment to his work is a direct reflection of his ability to run 5km with his Nike sports watch. Wish I can be more like Gary, what a guy!

Scientific Receptionalism

A framework emphasizing that scientific discovery depends as much on the receptivity of the scientific community as on the discovery itself. A finding only becomes knowledge when it's received—understood, accepted, integrated. Revolutionary ideas fail not because they're wrong but because the community isn't ready to receive them. Receptionalism studies the conditions under which science can hear new things: the paradigms, the power structures, the generational shifts, the conceptual tools available. It's science studying its own listening.
"Mendel's genetics were correct in 1865, but Scientific Receptionalism notes: the community couldn't receive them until 1900. The discovery wasn't the problem—the receptivity was. Your brilliant idea might be failing for the same reason. It's not you; it's the horizon."

The theory that knowledge requires not just a knower but a receptive community—that claims become knowledge only when they are heard, understood, and accepted by others. A solitary insight, no matter how brilliant, isn't knowledge until it enters the intersubjective space where it can be received. Receptionalism studies the conditions of reception: what makes a community able to hear certain claims? What blocks reception? How do power, prejudice, and paradigm shape what can be known collectively?
"You've been saying this for years and no one listens. Epistemological Receptionalism asks: what would make them able to hear you? It's not about being right—it's about creating the conditions for reception. Knowledge isn't broadcast; it's received. Work on the reception, not just the signal."

My reaction that

My reaction that videos are the "reaction" videos created by the Logo Kids Community and the MIBU (Mr Incredible Becoming Uncanny) Community, a common clip used in My reaction that videos is the clip of Larry from Veggietales yelling NOOOOOO!!! when Archibald put "His Cheeseburger" into the jukebox. Another one is Utility Belt Buzz yelling "NOOOO!!!" after Emperor Zurg tells him that he is his father. There are positive ones such as M. Bison saying "YES! YES!" in the Street Fighter cartoon from 1995.
My reaction that S1LLY_S1MPS0NS_L0V3R got terminated😭
The video itself: Utility Belt/New Buzz yelling NOOOOO!!! from Toy Story 2, Larry yelling NOOOO!! from The End of Silliness in Veggietales, or Darth Vader yelling his (in)famous "Do not want or NOOOOOOO!!!" from Revenge of the Sith.
