Originating in the teachings of the eleventh-century scholastic philosopher Roscellinus, whose Latin formula was, 'universalis sunt nomina.' (universes are only names.)
This philosophical movement of sophists was based on the view that there is a profusion of "truths" - perhaps as many as there are people to believe them - but no single, final Truth, and that language makes its own reality.
Through the Nominalism idea, an argument, however firmly it seems to stand up, however watertight its logic, can always be demolished by contrary argument, if made by a skilled debater. - Man is the measure of all things.
Every angle can supported in some way by infinite interpretations. Therefore falsehood and truth parish.

Nominalism:
What about someone who believes in beautiful things, but doesn't believe in the beautiful itself…? Don't you think he is living in a dream rather than a wakened state? (Republic 476c)

E Nomine (Latin for "in the name of") is a German music project which was made in 1999 by producers Christian Weller and Friedrich Graner. They've been classified as trance techno but E Nomine themselves call it Monumental Dance. Their music is a combination of Techno music and vocals which resemble Gregorian choir singing. Their songs are sung by German synchronis speakers (Germans that do the voice overs for foreign movies). Their lyrics often involve religious issues and religious texts are constantly quoted. They also sing about magic and battles between good and evil.

So some stupid twat gets "neck nominated" This stupid twat then has to film themselves whilst drinking large amounts of alcohol and doing a dare looking like a stupid twat in the process.
They then nominate two other stupid twats to do the same thing.
It's for idiots, stupid twats, people who like to risk dying, disability, brain damage, public humiliation and looking like a stupid twat for a social media craze.
