Subinformation

(Not to be confused with "Misinformation")

(n.) An inaccurate fact or statement said either consciously or subconsciously, usually when the speaker knows the real truth or struggles to keep up with objective reality in the moment, often with the intent to express their inner world to others as an emotional release from pressure or inner conflict, rather than to deceive or harm.
Example:

- “The Himalayas are located in Alaska”

If the intent is to express, not inform, and the person is aware of the real fact, this would be classified as Subinformation.

Explanation:

The speaker logically knows the Himalayas are located in Asia as they express this idea, but their mental state or subconcious urge may lead them to say otherwise as an emotional response, rather than a logical one.

The intent of Subinformation often needs to be clarified afterward to avoid confusion or misinterpretation.

Example:
- "My brain took a second to catch up. It was just Subinformation, it really feels true to me, but heres the real answer..."
