reverse party

A spontaneous party in someone else's house or room when the people are home and not expecting it.

Popular at weddings where some core friends go to sleep and you bust into there room late night and party in their room, despite their desire to be sleeping.

Mark was awoken by a reverse party in his hotel room at 3am.

reverse spoilage

The act of losing something and doing without it for a long time, then having it again but forgetting to use it. Being spoiled we are used to having things. The opposite is true here with reverse spoilage as we get used to NOT having things.

I like to listen to music while driving in my car. 30 years ago my car radio was stolen, and so during the process of getting a new one, getting the money from the insurance company and picking out a replacement stereo, I got accustomed to driving around quietly. Once I got the stereo, I forgot to turn it on due to the reverse spoilage.

Reverse Rationalism

Reverse Rationalism is a stance which is practically incomprehensible that seeks to be the opposite of what classical rationalism is about, it coniders atheism, anti-theism, laicism, state atheism, scientism, materialism, physicalism, positivism/empirism and naturalism as being irrational while it considers theism, anti-atheism, anti-anti-theism, discidism, state spiritualism, state religion, theocracy, anti-scientism / extrascientism, anti-materialism / extramaterialism, extraphysicalism, post-positivism / post-empirism, spiritualism, spirituality, religion, esoterism, occultism and supernaturalism as being rational, it basically believes that everything considered as irrational by reverse rationalism should be countered while everything considered as rational by reverse rationalism should be promoted and even encouraged.

"Reverse Rationalism makes sense, somehow, if we consider what people like the ones on RationalWiki and on Quora actually do, and how several spiritual, esoteric and occultist groups have a lot of good explanations about reality and existence as well."
