time-money

The term emphasizes the fact that money and time are often interchangeable because most individuals earn a per/hour salary. Because unavoidably it must be used recuperating and preparing for work eating, sleeping, on the toilet, showering dressing, shopping, visiting a doctor or dentist, resting, playing, time not used earning a salary is also "time-money".
Concise, logical, effective communication saves time-money, boosts productivity and happiness. Illogical, inconcise, wordy/redundant thus ineffective communication produces confusion, frustration, powerlessness, anger and unhappiness, and drains time-money. Depending on who the individual worker is, in a year the seconds lost as a consequence of inconcise, illogical, ineffective communication ad up to hours, days, weeks, or months. Multiplying that lost time by millions of workers in a nation adds up to years, and those years translate to lost profits and lower the GPA. Do corporations prefer to dumb (down) the masses to sell more products and more junk than to direct schools to teach students to communicate correctly? Look around.

Reality War

The war fought in a series of ongoing battles between society's most powerful entities as they endeavor to convince as many people as possible to accept their version of reality and think, feel, and act accordingly.
Reality is essentially what is accepted as existing, in other words, "what is." To convince others to believe that reality is what they say it is, religious organizations, governments, corporations, mass media outlets, universities, writers, intellectuals, artists, musicians, singers and other performers, scientists, and the masses all engage in the Reality War in as best their money and other resources permit.

There are personal, past, present, proposed, debunked, fraudulent, altruistic, positive, negative, imagined, factual, fictitious, and many other types of realities.

Some realities are more extensive and complex, and it is generally impossible to conclusively prove whether a reality is true or false.

The first reality to exist was and is the Original Reality and those who believe God created everything accept it as the one true reality, undistorted by the now almost ubiquitous overt, covert, or subliminal messages to the contrary.

Love Science

Love Science studies the over 200-types of love, and the many ways individuals can love and be loved.
Individuals who practice love science are called love scientists and they have discovered that the brain processes love neurochemically and neuroelectrically and changes the body's biochemistry in ways that improve the biological, emotional, and mental states of both humans and animals.

Love is an emotion, thus fundamentally irrational, illogical, and unmathematical.

Love can transcend moral or written laws and in some instances, it does not make sense.

Humans feel love for an individual who they calculate can help them or provide them with something they need.

Said differently, individuals feel love feel love when and because they want something from the person, place, or thing they start to feel love for.

Interestingly, after a person "falls" in love, they lose some or much self-control, connect with their love object, and feel a strong need to give different things to them, thus creating a cycle which makes the love mutual and allows the two or more participants to grow.

profit extraction

Fraudulently obtaining a profit from a consumer by deceiving, manipulating, tricking him or her.
Profit extraction reminds me of a tooth extraction, pulling the tooth out from the gum. It also reminds me of the term "rip off." Ultimately, profit extraction is the act of pulling something which belongs to a person, from them, and taking it away.
