Hym "The thread needs to be pulled taught and we need to reel it in. I am completely willing to make exceptions for you and I have shown that but that is not me not being my identity, it's me making exceptions for, you know, other me. The clear pronoun and intersubjetivity confusion is making it this way harder than it needs to be and the nightmare mode part is the peripheral elements of my existence and not you (Me you and not THAT you) artificially inflating the difficulty like the thing I said about CPU turning the block function on and off in a manner that is inconsistent with how people would actually block."

Reception exception

It is customary for a bride and groom to eat first at a wedding reception. However, if the pair have elected not to eat after five minutes, the guest may go ahead and eat.

"The groom and bride are still changing. Thank to the reception exception. We can go ahead and eat.

nurtured exceptionalism

The act of nurturing within you and others the belief that you are exceptional and all others are inferior. Entire political strategies have been built on this concept, for instance, Trumpism. Trumpism is the firm belief that adherents are superior in thought and deed to opponents, especially ones of color and minority status. You aren't born with this abhorrent belief, it has to be nurtured either by you or with your consent. The irony is that people who hold firmly to a belief in nurtured exceptionalism are by definition unexceptional as human beings.

The Proud Boys created a platform of nurtured exceptionalism, using the power of social media to propagate a cancel culture to target minorities and those with beliefs opposed to theirs.

Government Exception Bias

A form of bias based on Winston Churchill's famous quote about democracy being "the worst form of Government except for all those other forms"—used to justify abuses, atrocities, and crimes committed by democratic, quasi-democratic, semi-democratic, or pseudo-democratic governments, particularly Western and liberal democratic ones. The bias works by establishing an impossible standard: democracy is judged against utopia, while alternatives are judged against their actual historical performance. Any democratic failure is excused by "but it's better than the alternatives"; any authoritarian success is dismissed as exceptional or temporary. Government exception bias allows democratic states to commit human rights abuses, wage illegal wars, and suppress dissent while maintaining the moral high ground—because, after all, they're not as bad as those regimes. The bias is most visible in discussions of Western foreign policy, where "flawed but still the best" becomes a blanket justification for anything.

Example: "When criticized for drone strikes killing civilians, he deployed government exception bias: 'Democracies make mistakes, but at least we're not a dictatorship that murders its own people.' The comparison was true but irrelevant—it excused specific atrocities by appealing to general superiority. The victims didn't care about comparative political science; they cared about being dead. Government exception bias had done its work: changing the subject from crime to comparison."
