emanent nihilism 

The concept of light or language as the center of the mind.

The idea that ontology is effected from language and points toward the human mind.

Black light.
Emanent nihilism solves the conundrum of deterministicism (arbitrariness) by pointing ontology at rather than away from the mind.

Ontology is effected to emerge from language rather than the mind.

This means that reality-in-the-mind is arbitrary as opposed to language centric; ie. the mind-in-reality emerges before reality-in-the-mind can modulate it with language.

Thus language-centricity is reality; and absolute.

Language-centricity--but not language--is absolute.

Eminent Domain

Due to a recent appalling ruling by the supreem courts contary to the U.S. constution and the creation of De Jure Naturae et Gentium it now allows for city corts to STEAL!! land from private owners for private use and gain i.e. taking houses and farms for malls factories for less than market price.

Eminent Lo Mein 

When property, like a Chinese restaurant, is seized by the Chinese government to make way for another public-sector or private-sector enterprise and inadequate compensation, or no compensation at all, is paid to the owner of that property.

Alternatively, it would be a prize given to a professional Chinese chef who makes the best lo mein around.
When the Three Gorges Dam was built the Chinese government declared Eminent Lo Mein and thousands of Chinese restaurants were seized and shut down in order to make way for the new reservoir.

Hu Wang Fat makes the best lo mein in Albany, NY. He should receive an Eminent Lo Mein award Culinary Institute.

Word of the Day on October 17, 2026
A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
“I’m not dieting, I’m just on that glippy.”
“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
