Fourth Estate 

The term Fourth Estate refers to the press, both in its explicit capacity of advocacy and in its implicit ability to frame political issues. The term goes back at least to Thomas Carlyle in the first half of the 19th century.

None of our political writers ... takes notice of any more than three estates, namely, Kings, Lords, and Commons ... passing by in silence that very large and powerful body which form the fourth estate in this community ... The Mob.3

Metaphysicians and mystics describe the fourth state of consciousness as a portal to the other dimensions and other worlds.

We are not "consciously" aware of this fourth state in the normal course of living. However, in certain moments that can only be described as sublime, we get a hint of this fourth state which exists within us, which is all ours to explore.

We enter the portal of the fourth consciousness by beginning to detach from the entity called "thought".

A form of meditation requires one to progressively slow the non-stop internal dialog. Listening to some forms of music such as Progressive music can enhance this experience with to persistent practice. Gradually reaching a stage when our attention is no longer engaged in or focused upon our thoughts; we simply see them idly amble on the prairie of the mindscape, without evoking any reaction or response .

Science is increasingly becoming attracted towards exploring the fourth state of consciousness is the pleasant physiological changes that have been observed in the body and the brain of people who spend time in this state on a regular, consistent basis. A change in the volume of some very special chemicals in the body such as dopamine and melatonin, coupled with heightened parasympathetic activity and higher intensity of electric waves in the alpha and theta bands in the brain --- are just some of the unique characteristic consequences of dwelling in the fourth state.

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass
(Not to be confused with the literal description of one's buttocks)
"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."
