Novacula Franqui (aka Novacula Frangiscc' aka Frankie's Razor)

Goes something like this:
-- Don’t people the scientifically as yet unexplained, unexplored areas of our world and reality with wild – or otherwise – conjecture you propose as “TRUTH”.
-- Rigorously relegate said “beliefs” to the realm of wishful-/magical-thinking, fantasy, and fiction or – at the very least – have the courage to …
-- Present “them” as theories open to testing, fact-based repudiation, public scrutiny … and then
ACCEPT THE RESULTS !!! Or – at the very least –
Have the humility and intellectual honesty to call them what they are:
MY OWN …
Crazy Ideas
Desires
Self-psyche-salving delusions (at worst)/”fables” (at best) that help me get through the night,

help me get through life.

See ALSO: Occam’s Razor, Chatton’s Anti-Razor, Hickam’s Dictum, Leibniz’s and Kant’s anti-razors, Crabtree’s Bludgeon, Pataphysics.

Because he refused to even consider the Novacula Franqui (aka Novacula Frangiscc' aka Frankie's Razor), let alone use it, he peopled his ideas of what was going on around him, and in the world at large, with dark Deep States, Alien Beings, Cabals of Reptile-People, et al. Nothing is simply as it seems!!! It gave him the frisson he needed to keep from self-reflection.

Fatuity's Razor

A derivation of Occam's Razor applicable in internet comment threads. When interpreting an existing comment, the comment should be liberally interpreted in whatever way leads to the funniest reply comment.

Original Comment: "I want to get the number 2 tattooed on my back so the guy behind me knows what place he's coming in."

Choice of assumptions:
1) the guy behind commenter is coming in place #2 in a race.
2) the guy behind commenter is coming in place #2 on her body.

Fatuity's Razor requires the selection of assumption #2.

Sample Sentence: "Choose your words carefully, because those assholes will apply Fatuity's Razor and turn benign comments into jokes at your expense."
