An epistemological position according to which the mind (in a broad sense: cognition, affects, intentionality) determines how we perceive and access reality. It differs from cognitive realism by including not only cognitive processes but also emotions, desires, and unconscious structures. Weak version (Psychorelativism): different minds generate different, equally valid realities. Strong version (Psychodeterminism): the mind absolutely constrains what we can know. It is a common position in certain strands of depth psychology and phenomenology. Psychorealism highlights that psychological states are not merely filters but constitutive of the world as experienced.
Example: “Psychorealism reminds us that a depressed person and a manic person live in the same world but in opposite psychological realities. The central question: is this difference relative (weak) or determining (strong)?”
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
