Privacation 

noun: privacation, privacationer; plural noun: privacations, privacationers; intransitive verb: privacationed, privacationing

An extended period of leisure and recreation, taken without family or other needy sorts becoming aware that you are enjoying personal time. Only previously vetted, trusted friends are allowed to know about privacation plans. Spreading this information is in violation of a sacred trust and will invariably result in noncommunication of future secrets.

A portmanteau of private + vacation.

Privation 

It’s good because I takes the slaves work harder.
Hym “Privation is good so let’s print 2 trillion dollars and tank the economy. Dr. Jeepjorp won’t be effected. Unless someone takes it into their own hands... Nah.. that’ll never happen.”

Provocation

Provoking someone is not inherently illegal, but it becomes a crime if the provocation crosses the line into specific unlawful actions like harassment, stalking, or uttering "fighting words". If you provoke someone to the point of violence, you may forfeit your right to claim self-defense, though it can sometimes serve as a mitigating factor to reduce their criminal charges.
Hym "And just like that I'm completely absolved! Provocation! Excellent job YouTube law girl! I will overlook the panhandling."

Pervacation

The state of mind where you treat your everyday life like you're on holiday, or a lifestyle where travel and work are completely indistinguishable or a vacation taken with the strict intention of completely shutting out the world, unplugging every device, and achieving absolute, uninterrupted isolation. A thorough, aggressive break.

Optimal privation 

Why the privation? Do you want to know? They NEED you... To NEED Jesus and their reality monster.
Hym "So... If you DON'T ACTUALLY NEED THEIR REALITY MONSTER... Well... That's nothing a little OPTIMAL PRIVATION WON'T FIX! Then you'll have nowhere else to turn. And if you DON'T? Well, the creature will sort you out after you're dead. So, they need to manufacture it with inaction. People can be quoted saying 'Well, so-and-so could fix world hunger over night' BUT that would get rid of all the privation. No need for Jesus anymore. The church would have no one to feed to justify all of the money they are given. The poor are perpetual money farms so long as you create a perpetual state of privation. Because people are always willing to donate to charity or church. They aren't even expected to spend all of the money ON THE ACTUAL THING FOR WHICH THEY ARE BEING GIVEN THE MONEY. The don't have to show their receipts."

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
