Imaginary Control Theory

The radical idea that the most powerful forces in society—Money, Individual rights, and Nation-States—are collective hallucinations we all agree to believe in. A dollar bill is just paper; a border is just a line; your "freedom" is just a story. Jiang's theory states that power is the ability to control these shared fictions and make them feel real and immutable. The most successful elites are the master world-builders who can create a new "imaginary" (like cryptocurrency or a new national identity) and get millions to buy into it.

Example: "Imaginary Control Theory explains Bitcoin: it's a new shared fiction of value, created from nothing, that competes with the old fiction of the U.S. dollar. The 'truth' is just whichever story more people believe and enforce. It's all a meta-game of make-believe with tanks and bank accounts."

Image Merchant

A pretentious person who cares about their social image to the point where they would harm others around them and switch up on their friends just to carve out a certain reputation for themselves; an advanced form of social climbing.

Mark deleted all of his really cool social media posts as soon as he started befriending those frat dudes just because he thought they would criticize him for it, what an image merchant! Never expected that from such a chill guy.

Imagine I spelt that right.

A humorous phrase used immediately after misspelling a word intentionally or not to acknowledge the mistake in a lighthearted, self-deprecating way. The phrase is often used by someone who is known to regularly misspell words, and it’s meant to make others laugh while playfully admitting defeat. It’s less about correcting the error and more about leaning into it for comedic effect, as if the speaker is laughing at themselves while rethinking their life choices.

Person A: What do you do for a living?
Person B: I do ecnomcks.
Person B: Imagine I spelt that right.
