The design of a reality customized to satisfy a specific individual's needs.
Technological advances continue making it easier for individuals to design and create their own personal reality to live in and enjoy, always making sure it does not violate any law. The process is called 'personal reality design.'

Imagined Echo

The echo of a sound which did not produce an echo, but which the brain hears after the sound was made because it replays sounds the individual just heard in order to help that individual comprehend it better. Imagined echoes are the auditory equivalent of the images the eyes continue to see though the still image they saw is no longer visible. That scientifically proven phenomenon is called the "persistence of vision," and makes it possible for the 30 still images motion picture projectors display one after the other to create the optical illusion the brain interprets as continuous movement.
Dick Shakey was creating a song on his computers piano keyboard when he heard a jet airplane fly by. One second later, his brain replayed the sound of the jet engine for Richard to could hear it again and know what had just happened because when he heard the jet engine's sound the first time—immersed listening to the piano notes—he did hear the jet engine's distant roar, but because human listening is sometimes selective, ignored it. However, hearing the imagined echo blew his concentration, so he stood up, took a break, and submitted this new term to a new word website.

Stupids

The concise, dynamic, and practical way to say "stupid people".
No one says, intellectual people, everyone says, "intellectuals". Call stupid people "stupids", and call ignorant people "ignorants". Ignorance is environmental, stupidity appears to be genetic. Though it is not easy and it may not be possible to determine if an action was ignorant or stupid, ignorance engenders stupid actions by individuals who are not stupid.

easyfication

Though almost everyone mistakenly believes that learning to write is as difficult as learning to play a musical instrument, inspired by Frederick Taylor's Scientific Management principles, Richard Casey and Charles Cox began its easyfication in a social media group and where volunteers teach students the "one best way" to learn to give a writing a title, write an introductory clause, add a comma, add a semicolon, and perform the other 555 writing techniques he has systematized.

Reality War

The war fought in a series of ongoing battles between society's most powerful entities as they endeavor to convince as many people as possible to accept their version of reality and think, feel, and act accordingly.
Reality is essentially what is accepted as existing, in other words, "what is." To convince others to believe that reality is what they say it is, religious organizations, governments, corporations, mass media outlets, universities, writers, intellectuals, artists, musicians, singers and other performers, scientists, and the masses all engage in the Reality War in as best their money and other resources permit.

There are personal, past, present, proposed, debunked, fraudulent, altruistic, positive, negative, imagined, factual, fictitious, and many other types of realities.

Some realities are more extensive and complex, and it is generally impossible to conclusively prove whether a reality is true or false.

The first reality to exist was and is the Original Reality and those who believe God created everything accept it as the one true reality, undistorted by the now almost ubiquitous overt, covert, or subliminal messages to the contrary.
