Pseudofact

A pseudofact is a piece of information that, despite being completely false, is far more interesting than the equivalent correct information. Because pseudofacts are more interesting, they are more likely to get repeated. This results in people who believe them because it's what their friends and family has always told them. This belief is often strong enough to ward off solid evidence of the contrary.

John: That's a pseudofact. I've been doing it for years, and I can see just fine.

Doctor: You should drink eight, eight-ounce glasses of water a day.

Pseudoauthenticity

When someone follows the "fad" of being authentic and loves to throw around the word, without TRULY being authentic in who they are, in their beliefs or in their projected image of oneself.

A state of performative resistance in which one outwardly postures as a challenger of great forces—be they literal giants, metaphorical fears, or societal systems—while internally constrained by a complex web of doubts, prohibitions, and hypothetical counterfactuals. The subject inhabits a mental space where action is forever deferred by a litany of imagined limitations: one could fight, but one can’t; one might oppose, but one shouldn’t; one dreams of standing tall, but wouldn’t dare; and ultimately, one won’t—not now, not ever.
