Psyence Fiction - Unkle's Album (1998)

Psyence Fiction is the debut album by the group Unkle, released in 1998 for Mo'Wax. "Unreal" is an instrumental version of the song "Be There" (featuring Ian Brown), which was released a year later as a single. On some early presses of the album, instrumental versions of "Guns Blazing" and "The Knock" were added as tracks 13 & 14. On some re-releases of this album, "Be There" was added as track 13. Some versions (mainly the Japanese release, but also the US promotional copy) contain the hidden track "Intro (optional)" as "track zero", which is actually the pre-gap (index 0) of track 1. This can be accessed by "rewinding" the first track on some CD players. "Lonely Soul" was featured in an Assassin's Creed trailer for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Psyence Fiction debuted at #15 in Australia. Made #1 on KTUH's charts on the week of October 12, 1998.

(noun) /ˈsīəns/ – from “psych” + “sense”

A system of knowledge that influences or manipulates the senses and perceptions of reality, often under the guise of truth. Unlike traditional science, which seeks to understand, psyence is the illusion of understanding—knowledge constructed to psych, seduce, or suppress the intuitive senses.

Origin:
Coined by Joshua J. Horton in S.H.E. (Serenity Healing Eternal) book 1, to describe the subtle dissonance between natural knowing and programmed perception.
Example 1:
“We were raised on psyence, not science. They didn’t teach us truth—they taught us to trust only what they could control.”

Example 2:
“So you really tried to psyence me like I’m slow! That’s manipulation in a slow cooker, man! I’m too aware for that!”

Philosophical Notes:
Psyence serves as both a caution and a compass. It warns of how easily humanity trades intuition for instruction. In the wrong hands, it is a veil. In the right hands, it becomes a key—because to psych the senses is also to understand how they work.

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

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!
