Consumer Self-Isolation

To get consumers to go buy things,

via the media,
corporations make individuals feel

so superior to most people

they feel disgusted of others

and stop interacting with them.

The glorification of movie stars, and the innate—it seems—cognitive bias that makes everyone think they're better than almost everyone else, help induce "consumer self-isolation".

The art of isolation

When a person masters the skill of self-isolation, social distancing and quarantining themselves during a pandemic. An excruciating practice to be involved with if you are an extrovert, however seemingly easy for introverts as they normally self-isolate on a regular basis. The art of isolation is important for humanity on so many levels during worldly pandemics and other devastating events.

Person 1: How are you going with mastering the art of isolation?
Person 2: I am trying but I miss seeing everyone and hugging them.

Person 1: Oh yeah. It's a lot easier for me. Isolating myself is what I do normally as an introvert.

I do not understand why printing more money would cause an inflation. I don't get it

D'inflation

In sports, the inflation of a player's per-game statistics as caused by a particular style or system of the coach they are playing for. See: D'Antoni, Mike

"The only reason he averaged 24 points and 10 assists is because of Don Nelson's offensive scheme. His numbers were a result of shameless D'inflation."

Futanari Inflation

A funny prank you can pull on unsuspecting friends that haven't dabbled around the internet very much. If you have a little decency, you would pull this on people whose search histories do not get checked by others.

friend 1: "Hey, did you know there is some Japanese guy name Ranto Futari who counterfeited like a billion dollars and got away with it?"

friend 2: "No way that sounds cool!"

friend 1: "Yeah just look up Futanari Inflation"

friend 2: *googles it* "Fuck you"
