Panpsychic Imitation Principle 

The Panpsychic Imitation Principle, also Principle of Panpsychic Imitation is a panpsychist and extraphysicalist theory and hypothesis that holds that imitations of something tend to have the same panpsychicist and extraphysicalist properties of the original product, being able to reproduce the same properties of the original ones in the panpsychist and extraphysicalist way.
"The panpsychic imitation principle might explains why does crystals and imitations of crystals have the same spiritual properties of each other, but even the panpsychic imitation principle being correct, it's not reason to use crystal healing and similars, but to explain about several spiritual questions related to that."

Extraphysical Panpsychism

Extraphysical Panpsychism is the view that mind or a mindlike aspect is a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of reality, where mind or that mindlike aspect exist at extraphysical level and extraphysics play an important role at physics and where all living beings and things actually have an extraphysical mind and an extraphysical counterpart as well. Extraphysical panpsychism seeks to unite the views of extraphysicalism and of panpsychism into single philosophy, and to develop a theory and a view that can describe the world and reality and physical level and extraphysical level where both, physical and extraphysical levels are part of the same reality and mind.
"Extraphysical Panpsychism is a nice way to see reality, if we unite it to atheist extraphysicalism, we could have a view and a notion about how humans should behave themselves in case they finally understand how extraphysics are and how they can access them objectively such as contact with extraphysical beings objectively."

Panpsychology

A theoretical stance proposing that mind, consciousness, or psychological properties are not unique to humans or animals but are fundamental and ubiquitous features of reality. In this view, consciousness exists on a spectrum that includes electrons, rocks, ecosystems, and perhaps the cosmos itself. It doesn't claim rocks think like humans, but that they possess an inner, subjective aspect—a primitive form of experience. Panpsychism (its philosophical root) offers a solution to the "hard problem of consciousness" by making consciousness a basic building block of matter, like mass or charge. Panpsychology extends this to the study of these universal mental states, blending psychology with cosmology.
Example: A proponent of Panpsychology doesn't think your laptop is plotting against you. They suggest, however, that the fundamental particles composing the laptop each have a microscopic, unimaginably simple "point of view"—a raw feeling of being. Integrated into complex systems, these micro-experiences combine into the rich consciousness of animals. This isn't mysticism; it's a serious, if controversial, answer to why matter arranged a certain way produces inner experience.

Confirmation Bias Panpsychology

The meta-thesis that the panpsychic worldview itself is a product of confirmation bias. Proponents of panpsychism, this argument suggests, are so disturbed by the prospect of a dead, meaningless material universe that they unconsciously seek—and find—evidence of mind everywhere. They perceive consciousness in quantum mechanics, interpret complex systems as sentient, and see the hard problem of consciousness as insoluble precisely because they are committed to a solution that validates their yearning for a ensouled cosmos. The theory doesn't refute panpsychism but diagnoses it as a beautiful, ancient, and deeply motivated cognitive bias.
Confirmation Bias Panpsychology Example: A skeptic argues: "You see a complex system and your brain, wired for agency detection, whispers 'alive.' You call this panpsychism. You feel the intuition so strongly you build elaborate philosophies around it. This is Confirmation Bias Panpsychology—you started with the comforting belief that the universe has mind, and now you find mind in every electron. The intuition is human, all too human; the theory is its rationalization."

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

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!
