pathodox

PATH-oh-docks
The state of being so deep in a "rendered" lie that you literally cannot see the world is falling apart. It’s a sensory filter—usually enforced by an algorithm.

My landlord is so pathodox he tried to tell me the black mold in the bathroom wasn't a health hazard, but a "custom, organic velvet-texture wallpaper" intended to promote bio-connectivity.

pathodoxy

A state where religious or ideological beliefs degrade into a rigid, maladaptive pathology. Unlike heresy (which is a theological error), pathodoxy is a functional error: the believer maintains the external "costume" of a tradition, but the belief is severed from reason, causes life disintegration, and lacks the integration or "fruits" of genuine spiritual practice.

The clinician noted that while the patient quoted scripture perfectly, his total isolation and refusal to eat suggested a state of pathodoxy rather than genuine monastic devotion.
