practical problems 

Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems, not problems like "What is beauty?" Because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.
I solve practical problems, for instance: how am I going to stop some mean mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous be-hind? The answer, use a gun, and if that don't work... Use more gun. Take for instance this heavy caliber tripod mounted lil' old number designed by me, built by me, and you best hope... Not pointed at you.

fractally wrong 

Being wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution. Zooming on every part of one's world view finds beliefs exactly as wrong as one's entire world view.

fractal dweller 

A person who is in-tune with his or her inner intelligence (inner voice); conscious of the fact that their external experience is a reflection of their inner being.

Fractal dwelling is also synonymous with psychonauting and anything that involves dwelling outside of the boundaries set up by the Control System and indeed, their own egoic self. To the architects of control, the elitists of the world, a fractal dweller is a "dangerous man"; a man who knows the difference between the illusion of freedom and true freedom.

Famous fractal dwellers include William S Burroughs, Terence McKenna, Philip K Dick, Ken Kesey, Jack Kerouac, Carlos Castaneda, Robert Anton Wilson, Ram Dass, Alan Watts, Stanislav Grof and Rick Strassman.
"transcendental fractal dweller Alan Watts once said that, "the Universe is like a giant Rorschach ink-blot."."

fractal wrongness 

Fractal wrongness is the state of being wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution.

That is, from a distance, a fractally wrong person's worldview is incorrect; and furthermore, if you focus on any small part of that person's worldview, that part is just as wrong as the whole worldview.
Person 1: I just came back from a debate with someone who suffered from fractal wrongness.
Person 2: What do you mean?
Person 1: No matter what he said, it was utterly wrong.

Fractal Fail

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
“I’m not dieting, I’m just on that glippy.”
“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
“That summer body? Yeah, glippy assisted.”
