Information or statistics that have not been researched and are told convincingly to seem believable. Similar to "Fake News", but it originates from the saying "as a matter of fact" which was short handed to "Matt Facts"

Get the A fact mug.Shun fact refers to well-documented facts based on established research, statistics, or journalism that are often overlooked or ignored in public discourse. These facts can provide new insights and understanding on a broader, more comprehensive level, without jumping to conclusions.
The aim for shun facts is to inspire people to be curious and aware of questions such as "How did we end up here?" without claiming an absolute truth.
Often, shun facts make more sense than the narrative, as if they are the missing links, but adding newer facts without necessarily disproving the original narrative.
A collection of shun facts may even strengthen established facts, leveling up the main public conversation when overwhelming evidence from multiple sources and experts points to verifiable facts that seems to be consistently omitted from this very discourse or the algorithms feeding us.

** There is a link between green urban spaces and mental health, but city planning isn’t based on shunfacts like this: you listing statistics and research stating the connection that people feel calmer and more connected in nature, ADHD symptoms decrease in nature, tests showing how more people thrive when there are birds and flowers in the hood, also referring to columnists stating it in social media and health care magazines, finally adding a proper news story where the mayor claims "there are insufficient funds for frivolities such as flower parks in the city, as all available resources are required for infrastructure projects and, of course, the absolutely essential swimming pool in the town hall basement."
** The books of Yuval Harari (Sapiens, Homo Deus, and others) and Naomi Klein (No Logo, The Shock Doctrine, and others) are based on large amounts of shun facts.
** Dr. Gabor Maté (The Myth of Normal) puts shun facts into a more resonant context than the established narrative about the decline in mental health in the Western world.
** Clarissa Pinkola Estés (Women Who Run With the Wolves) also uses shun facts from psychology and fairy tales to explain feminine and masculine archetypes that are suppressed in modern societies.

Get the Lee Fact mug.A fact about facts. It's information regarding the provenance, reliability, or context of a factual claim, rather than the claim itself. Examples include: "This fact comes from a peer-reviewed journal," "This statistic is from a pre-2020 dataset," or "The source for this fact has a known political bias." Meta-facts are the nutritional label on the package of information, telling you about its ingredients and shelf life. In the information age, meta-facts are often more important than facts themselves, because they tell you which facts to trust.
*Example: "She didn't just state the unemployment number; she led with the meta-fact: 'According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' last monthly survey, which has a margin of error of +/- 0.2%...' She was arming you with the fact's pedigree before delivering the fact itself."*

Get the Meta-Fact mug.Identity-Facet Management (IFM) is a systems-level framework for the intentional design, organization, and governance of multiple facets (contextual, functional, or role-specific expressions) of a single, continuous identity within a unified control structure.
In IFM, identity is treated as a stable core entity that manifests through distinct, purpose-bound facets, each with defined capabilities, constraints, permissions, and operational scope. Facets may operate concurrently or asynchronously but remain coordinated through shared authority, traceability, and continuity of identity. They do not constitute independent identities and do not possess autonomous ownership of memory, agency, or selfhood outside the governing system.
IFM emphasizes intentional partitioning rather than involuntary fragmentation, prioritizing explicit control, auditability, reversibility, and synchronization between facets and the core identity. Implementations include mechanisms for facet creation, activation, suspension, revocation, and reintegration, as well as policies governing information flow and decision authority.
The framework is domain-independent and applicable to engineered systems (e.g., AI agents, distributed cognition architectures, digital twins, access-controlled personas), organizational role design, and human–machine hybrid systems. IFM does not describe psychological dissociation or clinical phenomena and assumes preserved continuity of self across all facets.

"After burning out from juggling my online persona and legal profile, I started treating it as Identity-Facet Management, and everything got cleaner."
