Money to keep the well oiled machine going, functioning.
Anything dysfunctional is no good for the machine, it's designed to have interchangeable, functional parts that keep it running (as a collective). No individuals, nobody different from the next person. It takes lots of money, so there's always a collection basket to keep it going.
A derogatory label for a person who prizes industry certifications above knowledge and capability.
Often such a person will set about collecting as many certifications as they can and proudly display them in their email signature and social network profiles. Typically they have a shallow understanding of areas in which they are certified, and are unable to display significant independent reasoning or understanding in those areas.
May also refer to the act of obtaining an industry certification.
Also known as "pokemon accreditation"; Gotta catch 'em all!
1. "I've interviewed five job applicants and every one of them is a collect-a-cert."
2. "I'm going to have to go 'collect-a-cert' to qualify for the next pay bracket"
And the fucked up part about it is in the beginning I said it was "Collective Narcissism." Didn't I? Yes. Yes I did. I would talk about it all of the time. You're 5 years behind and I'm still not getting credit.
Hym "Isn't that wild that I can actually say that 'A lot of our problem is a form of Collective Narcissism.' Look at that!"
Iam "That was me..."
Hym "Great job me!"
Dr. Jeepjorp "You're one of the narcissists."
Iam "Aw, hey! It's Dr Jeep..."
Hym "So are you shit-ass! 'They are who we thought they were!'~That one guy. That is hilarious! And what do I get? You guys are handling this all wrong my guy. Not to piss in your bed or anything. I don't think I could live your life better than you. It's the other way around. You can't blame me for watching the game and seeing a fumbles. I should call you guy team fumbles. A man ahead of his time. The ultimate innate psychoanalysts prowess. I just wish I could see the looks on your faces when you realize I'm right about some of this shit. I can't even image."
A social phenomenon arising in the context of neoliberalism, a specific form of capitalism that not only encourages commodification but also promotes the moralization of that commodification. In this setting, individual gains, particularly those spurred by the moralization and normalization of commodified emotional labor, lead to collective losses. These losses manifest in forms such as systemic exploitation, increased mental health burdens, and perpetuated social inequalities. The paradox emerges from the mismatch between individual pursuits and collective well-being, exacerbated as governments and societal structures exploit surplus emotional labor, further normalizing its commodification. This exploitation, embedded in the dynamics of neoliberalism, contributes to the devaluation of collective emotional health and well-being.
A: you see that video of the nurse bike incident?
B: A Collective Devaluation Paradox.
A: wa?
B: A social phenomenon w/ often occurs in neoliberalism, a form of capitalism that not only encourages commodification but also promotes the moralization of that commodification. In situations like this, individual gains can lead to collective losses.
A: losses?
B: They manifest in various way, eg. systemic exploitation, increased mental health burdens, & perpetuated social inequalities. The paradox emerges from the mismatch between individual pursuit & collective well-being.
A: I see. So perhaps, in a world where emotional labor hadn't become moralized to become commodified, the men might have recognized the woman's situation - her role as a nurse, her apparent exhaustion & consider letting her take the bike as an act of kindness or empathy. But in our current society, where interpersonal interactions are often viewed through a capitalist lens, there's no societal expectation for them to do so. The moral obligation to consider the emotional state of others is diminished in the face of individual rights & possessions.
B: it doesn't stop there. Societal structures often exploit surplus emotional labor, which further normalizes its commodification. This exploitation, embedded in the dynamics of neoliberalism, contributes to the devaluation of collective emotional health & well-being. So, while everyone seeks individual gain, we have broader societal loss.

ayup you been down to the orchid collecting apples?
fuck off!
this happens when a lot of people have a certain hero and named after him or legally change their name to them and may even share the same birthday and have the same features like skin color and height or description. and it could be for many reasons like their greatest role model, or the person name gives them protection against attackers, or they really love the name more than they own and the original such a good day: that he don't mind either. for an example the name John Smith is so vast and plentiful all around the world and it's counter part Jane Smith for female. it's really great experience hearing all the great stories on how it unfolds so specially for each person and always more is added indirectly and independently it's not a conspiracy or anything like that. purely coincidence probably the only one too.
The Neegin Collection or The Neegin Experience is something most people wouldn't care about learning because it's so mundane but to the few who loves to adventure or explore it's a nice little side quest or side adventure.
