Neuroscience
Something which seems to have rendered the existence of a soul very, very unlikely, unfortunately.
Looks like this is the only life we're going to get folks.

Neuroscience
Recent work on the brain has shown no evidence for souls, spirits, or any part of our personality or behavior distinct from the lump of jelly in our head.

cognitive neuroscience
A subset of neuroscience that is "totally necessary" because "just because you can't quantify it doesn't mean it's not there." The cognitive neuroscience professors will defend the validity of cognition with their lives, and fight the neuroscience department for their honor.

Hard Problem of Neuroscience
While neuroscience excels at correlating brain states with mental states, the hard problem is the same as for consciousness: why and how does the objective, electrochemical noodling of the brain produce subjective experience? Neuroscience can show you the neurons that fire when you see red, but it cannot show you the redness itself. The field can map the machinery of the mind in exquisite detail, but the ghost in the machine remains a metaphysical stowaway.
Example: "The fMRI showed a beautiful, glowing map of love lighting up the ventral tegmental area and nucleus accumbens. The hard problem of neuroscience was that the scan, for all its color, contained not a single pixel of the feeling, the poetry, the aching joy that was actually happening in the room."

Spacetime-Probability Neuroscience
The study of the brain as a five-dimensional organ, with neural connections not just across space and time but across probability branches. This field investigates how neurons in one branch influence their counterparts in adjacent branches, how memories are stored across the probability manifold, and why brain damage in this branch sometimes correlates with enhanced function in another (the universe's cruelest compensation). Spacetime-probability neuroscience has discovered that the brain is not a single structure but a probability distribution of structures, and what we call "consciousness" is just the branch we happen to be observing. This explains phantom limb pain (the branch where the limb still exists is leaking into this one) and why some people can "feel" when someone is staring at them (probability-branch entanglement between observer and observed).
Spacetime-Probability Neuroscience Example: "He had a stroke that affected his ability to recognize faces. His spacetime-probability neurologist explained that in most probability branches, his face-recognition software was fine; he was just stuck in the branch where it wasn't. 'Somewhere,' the doctor said, 'you're recognizing faces perfectly, probably even enjoying it.' He found this cold comfort while failing to recognize his own sister."

doorwall
A door wall is a sliding-glass door or patio door. The term is yet another example of banal Michigan vernacular, where in the residents latch on to company names, trademark names, marketing terms and product names from local companies. The terms become embedded in the local vocabulary and eventually become accepted as actual valid words and phrases. In this case the term comes from Wallside Windows in Taylor, MI (a large window manufacturer), where 'door wall' is their created word for sliding-glass door.

Frothability
The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.
The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, driving property prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.

Soul digger
A man who dates women with the sole purpose of exploiting their time, energy, and labor while he sucks the joy and happiness from their lives.
"That guy's a soul digger. He'll expect you to work full time, but you'll be doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, and childcare while he plays video games or watches TV."
