Stroom means the flowing of things and literally means ‘electricity’ in the Dutch language from which it originated.

“Stroom” is a way of looking at cognitive functions and replaces the concept of a ‘soul’.
“You don’t have a soul, you are an ecosystem and who you feel you are is just a summary of that abstract chaos”

“Oh I don’t eat meat, don’t you know they are Stroom aswel?

“We are all Stroom.

I don't mean this just as a metaphor, but primarily as a shift in the paradigm of consciousness.

You have no soul, there is no inner wick; just manipulation of context.

You are a collective collaboration of organic matter which then produces a current, both a metabolic byproduct of the microcosm and the entire essence of what or ‘who’ you are.

You are; your body, your brain, your hands, your eyes, your hair and your nails, but to what extent are you that? Are you also the hair you lose on the train?

So are you your brain? Or are you just ‘Stroom’ that has been generated and hangs out in specific places like neurons to simulate an experience that slowly mutates over time, creating multiple versions of reality that form the illusion of the ego.

These internal conflicts are perhaps the cause of a lot of ignorance and misunderstanding without ever being explained. Conflicts that cannot be resolved with answers, but with the full acceptance of the lack of them.

Because, perhaps we are all Stroom.”

shroomjak 

The sole perceptible element of Kant's noumenal world through the lens of the human experience of reality which, though not confined to subjectivism, still morphs and moulds the phenomena of its external objective environment. Shroomjak breaks free from the shackles of human influence, and presents itself in pristine, unadulterated form; this consistency it maintains is an example of one of the few existing absolutes in the universe, along with the speed of light observed in any relative condition to an inertial observer. References to Shroomjak are only permissible when made in cloisters facing outwards onto a quad of any non-redbrick Oxford college.
"Golly-gosh, Trevor the philosopher, I've just finished reading Principia Mathematica- what a treat! Can't wait to move on to Critique of Pure Reason!"

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
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.
