Margaritamancy

1. Predicting the future by drinking margaritas

2. Predicting the future by drinking an excessive amount of margaritas

Ines's Margaritamancy is really impressive. She really thinks she's predicting the future when in actuality she's just relaying to us what just happened via garbled speech.

The biomimictarian mentioned that if you want to take in immigrants whilst you have welfare state; you should take mithridatism into account, to preclude the welfare state from becoming overwhelmed; yet if you fight shy of a welfare state you may be able to take advantage of an open borders policy and ergo explode your GDP.

Babefuge

A substance, medicine or device used to drive away a babe.

In my experience, an eight-day, Star Trek binge — accompanied by wearing a specific babefuge called a fedora — is the most successful treatment. Especially when one is a sufferer of a spate of flirts from a superfluity of babes.

Murdoch's ideal system of government allows many states, groups, principles, sources of authority, etcetera to compete & coexist; aiming to find a way to hyper-efficiency/truth via controlled experiments and empiricism

One could describe The Murdochian Ideology as a pluralistic, experimentalist, politically weak-agnostic, and unflapped by type II errors.
