The GitHub Political Party

Advocates for a government where policy is managed via a respiratory hosting service that governs voluntarily via subscription plans. The GitHub Political Party would put in place a open-source government that stores revisions of projects for ideologies and policies.

In practice the Github party would advocate for a voluntary society in which groups and individuals maintain and develop their culture or interests whilst maintaining a pluralist attitude valuing philoxenia (a love of strangers). Their philoxenia & their pluralist attitude are valued by each of the societies, despite them being apart of various schools of thought because they all consider the possibility that the other society is more correct. Each of these societies evinces a willingness to update their theories as more evidence becomes available. These voluntary societies treat their ideas like code where there are willing to update to new versions, fork into separate versions experimenting with different ideas, and are willing to boot up older iterations with the knowledge they obtained with newer iterations.
Within these voluntary societies people will be able to vote with their feet or dollar ;in lieu of, diluted votes often associated with regular democracy.

Thanks to the GitHub Political Party all the political ideologies are living in harmony. People now live within the political systems they choose to or the political systems they dream up themselves – what a wonderful world. Where everyone is free to choose what they wish and create political systems untrammeled by basic b democracy.

the science of breaking habits

My brother claims to be the master of tropoclastics, but I still see him eating ice cream at 3 in the morning.

Radical Subjectivity

The state of unreservedly favoring a one's feelings as the cardinal factor in determining the validity of something instead of observation or reasoning.

I never thought it would become trendy for one's feelings to become the most important part of an explanation for a phenomenon. Methought that one's feelings would more likely be more of a peripheral matter in regards to explaining a phenomenon. I suppose those who prefer radical subjectivity think of my preference for observation & reasoning to be unsympathetic.

Cynoism

1. Attribution of divine qualities to dogs.

2. A type of animism involving the worship of dogs and dog spirits.
3. The religion or philosophy derived from biomimicry of dogs.
4. Doctrine that dogs are of highest value.

In Cynoism, David Bowie's "Diamond Dogs" is a popular hymn along with "who let the dogs out" by the Baha Men; to which many cynoist congregations respond with the cantillation "We we we did did, we we we did did".

convenient amnesia

A self-serving partial or total loss of memory often used as a tool by politicians who often promise wondrous things only to renege on their promises once elected.

To curry favor with the masses Vermin Love Supreme promised ponies for everyone, but once elected, however, he got convenient amnesia.

Walmartification

1. The action or process of walmartifying something.
2. The process of turning something into Walmart

3. In reference to the Walmart Effect where the presence or introduction of a large business like Walmart has a notable economic impact (especially in a negative sense) on the businesses in its area.
4. The result of Walmart's hegemonic efforts especially when Walmart undercuts local businesses; most notably, when Walmart is able to take on a loss until the local businesses go out of business.

The hipster was annoyed by the Walmartification of his formerly totally hip town; chockful of niche grocery stores. Now with the town's niche grocery stores supplanted by Walmart; making his town have a full-on bland grocery situation.

Murdoposition

The state of being in the position of a Murdoch.

He supplanted the quondam king Murdoch as the new king of the Murdochians despite not being a Murdoch himself by getting the blessing of a head-Murdochal abbot. With this newfound Murdoposition, his Uncle Ben reminded him that with great power comes great responsibility.
