The Byrnesian Effect 

Similar to the Butterfly Effect, the Byrnesian Effect is set in motion by just one individual whose actions are so immensely vague and confusing that others are deeply affected by them.

It is defined by the overwhelming state of complete bewilderment the victim experiences, questioning their own purpose and existence, abandoning all commitments and duties that were once regarded as important.

While its origins can be found in Atlantis, FL, the Byrnesian Effect can be felt worldwide as it transcends all space and time.
The Byrnesian Effect is so powerful that, once in motion, wives in Africa abandon all commitments leaving their families never to be seen again.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
