Protothesis 

When you reject something as false so strongly that you'll invent falsehoods about it to justify why you see it as false.

Proto is greek for 'before', thesis is for 'placement'. I.e. placing lies before a subject so you make sure you don't believe it.
"Our views about politics have been shunned for eons by people's protothesis about us... they'd rather take lies about us than our truth because it'd discomfort them."

prothesis 

He's the very prothesis of good personified.

Protithesis

(pro-TIH-thuh-sis)
noun
The deep, ideological thesis statement of your life that you declare before it fully happens. It doesn’t cause your life to unfold—it reveals the blueprint that everything else ends up following. A mix of prophecy, self-awareness, and spiritual alignment. It can either be intentional or unintentional, and in retrospect you will see it somehow summed up everything after it.

Not exactly a mission statement. Not exactly a vibe. A protithesis is your soul’s opening argument.

Origin:
From pro- (before) + thesis (a proposition). Modeled after “antithesis,” but instead of opposition, it’s origination.

Use if:
You’ve had a moment where you knew who you were and everything since has reflected it—even if you didn’t understand it all at the time.
"When he said, 'I was made to bring justice to silence,' I knew that was his protithesis—everything he did after that lined up."

"Her protithesis was clear by seventeen: to use fashion as a political weapon—and everything since has echoed that one revelation."

"Jesus's protithecal (pro-TIH-theh-kul) discussion in John 3 really sums up his whole ministry.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
