Concisionism

The ideology which advocates concise thought, analysis, speech, and/or writing and consumption.
Concisionism advocates articulating one's feelings, and thinking, analyzing, speaking, and/or writing concisely. Its adherents believe concision is so powerful that by applying it—especially at work—a nation's Gross Domestic Product will rise because workers and other professionals will communicate faster and more effectively, thereby boosting production. Another benefit of articulating things concisely is that trimming the fat from communication leaves people more time to live and that improves the quality of life and increases the amount of pleasure people can enjoy.

The members of think tanks wonder if communicating concisely would make consumers realize that they can live concisely and consume concisely, not needing to purchase unnecessary (really unneeded) products or services; be husky, plump, or obese; and stop over-consuming and also consume less.

Consequence-based Eating

Consequence-based Eating is eating taking into account exactly how what one eats will affect one's digestive system. Whether it will digest what one ate easily or with difficulty, slowly or quickly, how eating that food will make one feel—energetic or lethargic, happy or sad, healthy or sick, calm or anxious—and how easily the waste will exit the body.

The opposite of Consequence-based Eating is "Instant Pleasure-based Eating." Not thinking about or asking oneself the above list of consequences. Most people are not accustomed to ask themselves how a food they eat or a drink they drink will affect them. Most people are probably unaware that it is possible to know how most different foods will affect one's body, because most foods have been around for thousands or many years, and those who know, know how each food affects the body. For example, there are foods which clean the body and brain, there are foods which are known to detoxify the body, and there are foods which inhibit mental and physical agility. One rule of thumb is that certain foods are fresh and alive, but other foods are dead. All the above also applies to drinks. The best drink is water, it refreshes and detoxifies. Having a bowel movement as well as urinating gets rid of the waste from our trillions of cells, as well as most toxic and other harmful ingredients in the foods we ate or the liquids we drank.
Consequence-based eating is not automatic, nor is it the norm. It takes many years to become cognizant of the many benefits of realizing, remembering that, for example, food A causes effects GBP and that food B causes effects RSW, and eating accordingly. The best way to increase your knowledge about which food does what is to read books on health, and write in your journal how what you eat affected you and your digestion, and your bowel movements and urination.

Reality Maintaining Words

The set of words which (established and) maintain reality.
"Could we change reality by suppressing, hiding, or extricating the Reality Maintaining Words?", asked Professor Spot Tricks. "How many RMWs are there anyway?" Asked Joe. "How many RMWs do you estimate there are", asked Dick. "How many RMWs do you estimate exist", asked Bernd. The instructor commended Bernd because "exist" is concise, whereas "there are" is prolix, and clarified that listing all the RMWs would exact mountains of time, so it is more likely that only an estimate, not a specific number, could be achieved. Then she asked the students, "And could we change reality by promoting the use of a different set of words?" "Yes", said most students. "What would you call those words?" "Reality Correcting Words", said Sally.

emowinpoint

The point where emotion overrides reason.
Confronting a recalcitrant student who when I told her she misspelled the word "concision" by writing "consition", I unintentionally took myself to and beyond the EMOWINPOINT, the point when emotion overrides reason. That common human error contributed to my being fired about one hour later from my job as a university instructor.
