Noetic

A kind of Metarational awareness or insight, like intuition but more conscious and grounded in reason.

(Noesis (Greek: νόησις) comes from Greek, and means insight, similar to intellection or intelligence.

The word "noetic" is derived from the Greek word "nous," meaning mind, intelligence or ways of knowing, There is no exact equivalent in English.

It refers to "inner knowing," a kind of intuitive consciousness, or direct and immediate access to knowledge beyond what is available to our normal senses or the power of reason.

It was like they were blessed with some noetic faculty that enabled them to leap beyond the confines of what their senses or their research indicated, and land directly on the heart of the dynamics of the reality they were investigating.

noetic

Of or relating to the impropriety of an act being regarded as appropriate because of the practice of ceremonies from sincerely-held religious beliefs.

Tonkwun: Dad, why didn't Rabbi Orgsat go to jail for giving me systemic herpes when he sucked my penis at my circumcision ceremony when I was a baby?
Tonkwun's Dad: For the same reason that Catholic priests never went to prison for raping children. It's considered noetic, which means it's okay to do because these ceremonies integral parts of the religious doctrine.

Noetic Ableism

Noetic ableism is the systemic marginalization, pathologizing, or suppression of people whose forms of awareness, intuition, perception, or consciousness falls outside dominant cultural norms. It is similar to ableism, but instead of policing bodies and cognitive styles, it polices modes of awareness and ways of knowing.

Core Mechanism:

A culture creates an acceptable bandwidth of consciousness.
Experiences outside that range are:

-dismissed
-ridiculed
-medicalized
-spiritually distorted
-commodified

The goal (intentionally or not) becomes mantaining a narrow consensus reality.

If you have ever experienced noetic ableism you will know in your bones that ridcule becomes a soft form of social control, that others try to claim authority over your self-determined understanding of your own conscious evolution, and that spiritual emergence is often wrongly pathologized and the harm internalized.

Puerto Rican Eviction Notice

When the police show up at a Puerto Rican woman husband's workplace to inform him his wife filed a restraining order against him. The husband is informed by the police that he is to not have any contact with his wife or go near his home. He may only return to pick up his possessions with a police escort.

It does not matter the race or ethnic background of the husband only that his wife is Puerto Rican. This is usually a ploy to get the husband out of the house and force him to pay his soon to be ex-wife's living expenses while she shacks up with the brother of her husbands friends ex-wife. Then she files for divorce.

A friend of Julio's ex-wife brother's been banging Julio's wife so he got a Puerto Rican eviction notice.

notice me senpai

It's a Japan thing. Apparently, it's from anime. Senpai means someone you're suppose to look up to. (in this case a senior or a teacher if you're thinking of that chick from Misao who liked her teacher.) All in all 'Notice Me Senpai' means you want someone older than you to like you.

Person 1: "Give up, he doesn't like you."
Person 2 (to their senpai): "NOTICE ME SENPAI!"
