Evenness Exceeded Unevenly

Translucency's Transparent Impurities

I will try to forego now over-rambling on about neologisms in my image-titles
(update: but I failed).
It suffices for me to note that, yes, I suspect that "Arctangentialism" (in the first image's title) and "Non-Nouns" (in the 5th images' title), "Non-Nouns" taken as a whole, are neologisms. And, yes, of course I suspect I was not the first to use these.
(And I especially like the bottom image's {neologism-less} title.)

Anagrams:
(And, shame, I forgot to give the number of anagrams in my last post, if you could not have counted them yourselves. There were nine then, by the way.)
And nine this time too!

(^I guess this, "I am me", is one of the deeply philosophical concepts that "a mime" is trying to convey.)
(My favorites of these anagrams are the first 2, 3, or 4; and the last 2.)

---------------------------

A few palindromes:
(Then we will find balance.)


'No, I tan madness,
else mimes lessen damnation.'

'Eras are.'

'No ion?'

'We sew.'

---------------------------

A weird and indescribable thought:

'Think-amajig'.

(Sounds like a good band-name?
Probably already is,..
but not a good name. Sorry, guys.)
---------------------------

The second item below the
palindromes in today's blog-post
is.. (rum droll..)

Regarding "Second":
Hey, that ordinal is not any
ordinary ordinal! Just the
second-most ordinary of ordinals.

(Damn ordinals..)

---------------------------

You hear about the hippy who
ended up working in the
medical laboratory?
Yeah, he was a..

counterculture culture-counter.

The political hierarchy is,
in essence (even if not
officially),..

the 'HEIR-archy'.

New saying, in regards to our
political system and to so much
else these days:

"It's stuck on 'suck'!"

(I might have heard this before.)

-------------------------------

The evolution-deniers often say
that they "refuse to believe that
man evolved from monkeys!"

Well, evolution experts always are
trying to point out that they do
not believe mankind "evolved from
monkeys" either!.. or from apes.
To the simians' relief/benefit(!),
human-beings and apes and monkeys
actually are all likely to have
evolved separately and in-parallel,
but came from some earlier common
ancestral species of primates
(which are all now extinct).

It's like a tree, stupid, you know,
with branches and stuff.
(And monkeys sometimes live in,
and sometimes love in, trees --
to help you remember.)

In any case, so then I guess it
can be said that the
"I refuse to believe that man
evolved from monkeys!" argument
made by evolution-deniers is
quite a...

'straw-monkey' argument!..

(And, get that straw-monkey
off your back!..
...
In other news:
Did you know human-beings
evolved from albatrosses?..
Might be fun to deny THAT now..)
-----------------------------

(And when we find that 'balance'..)

Hey, since when is rhetorical
equivalency these days actually
about absolute equivalence, anyway?

"Yeah, it's bad now; but, come on;
the problem of false-equivalencies
being over-used to try to justify
arguments is just as bad as it
has always been,"
... would be the proper answer.

------------------------------

Usually, I guess, I wouldn't find
a sexual joke to be as funny as
most people do, because..

I just don't GET IT..

------------------------------

The authorities trying to determine
if we are "criminals" only from
images of our faces, possibly by
using facial-recognition AI,
would indeed be..

'facial-profiling'.

(Which is ironic if AI is used;
because the technology is now more
accurate when the faces are viewed
more so from the front, not as
much when viewed almost completely
in-profile.)

-------------------------------

Do we still.. 'din'-y
we like hard-rock music?..

-------------------------------

Down:
Its own.. 'up'-posite.

Morticians surely do know how to..
'urn' a living!

(Or are they instead urning a
'deading'?)

-------------------------------

On an antimatter planet, during
a very bad storm, can a very
large charge of positrons
strike you with..
'darkning'?

-------------------------------
...
Yes, being electrically-shocked
severely can be quite..
'enlightning'...

-------------------------------

I may not do so. But you do know
what things DO mince words?

Breath-mince.

(They especially mince
offensive-smelling words.
Better than getting your
mouth rinsed with soap, I bet.)

Transphoric Metaformation

Blog-post # 333:
(333 = 3*37*3.
333 = Half-The-Beast. Yay!..
So, not the best Beast, then?
Just half as good,..
I mean, half as EVIL!)


Seven new images:

Trans-metaphorical Metamorphosis

Sidelapping Overways

Contextual Unknowability

Emptiest Equations Of Enigmatism

Synonyms Rearranged Into Permutations

Unimaginations Thus Unimagined

Its Approximately Glassy Astrology

Regarding the neologisms:
The second image's title,
"Sidelapping Overways",
originated by exchanging the
first halves of a pair of
particular compound words;
like a spoonerism, but of
entire prefixes instead of
involving only the first letter
or two of the respective words.
What is that called?
Still a spoonerism?
(This is also as in the title
of this particular blog-post.)

"Enigmatism", in the 4th
image's title, maybe is not
new. But it obviously means
the concept of being enigmatic,
or maybe it is the entire
philosophy of enigmas. That
idea may already be called
something else
("enigmaticalness",
"enigmatication"?), but
the "-ism" sounds extra spooky
to me, plus this 'new' word
rhymes with "astigmatism".

"Trans-metaphorical" (in the
first image's title) must be
a neologism, taken as a whole.
It means what you want it to
mean, man. Just go with it,
and the truth will find you,
man. Then you will know what
is really more metaphorical
than even metaphor itself...

Update regarding the last item
in my previous blog-post:

I wrote, in part:
Quoth:
"if it rewrote your reference to
the Brookhaven supercollider, the
"Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider",
instead as the
"Relatively Heavy Ion Collider"."

'Relatively Heavy Ion Collider'..
So, then. Is it the ions that are
relatively heavy relative to other
ions? (Which is true regarding those
ions in this supercollider, surely.)
Or is it the super-collider that is
heavy compared with other colliders?
(Which may indeed be true, I suspect.
It is probably one of the heaviest, at
least at the time of its construction.)
Either way, this super-collider is
relatively heavier than an ion.
That is true.
(If anything is true, however.)

Hey, I have an idea:
With all of the super-colliders
being decommissioned lately, let's
get some of the unused ones and
then collide THEM together as
fast as we can somehow!

We can do this just so we can say,
"Oooohhh, the irony!...
For, it is the colliders
themselves now being collided!
Such is the essence of fate;
such is the fate of essence."

Thus In A Dissected Universe

Blog-post #332:
(332 = 2*83*2.)

(Only 6 new images today.
So sad.)

Meta-Philosophical Physics

Recently Relativistic Omnipresence

Disentanglement From Chaos

Terrestria Unreal And Unreally So

As Unmeasurably Indescribable As I

Subsets Of Density

I think that "Terrestria", as part of the 4th image's title, is a likely neologism.
It means to me, as you might have guessed, Earth itself or an Earth-like place/planet. (While, with the "-ia" ending, this word is more suggestive, as I intend, of perhaps a nation or land than the similar previously existent word for Earth, "Terra", is.) I do not know if this particular derivative of "terrestrial" exists already elsewhere amongst the more obscure parts of the English-language lexicon. I would not doubt that it is not my own word -- I hope, as with any word I might have originated but maybe did not, it already means what I intend it to mean here if it does already exist, however.

Also, "Meta-Philosophical" (from the top image's title) is probably a neologism.
It implies some VERY deep thinking, and thinking about thinking, and about that thinking about thinking as well, ad infinitum, perhaps.
All I can say about this is,...
I never meta-philosophical I didn't like!.. (harhar.)
(Which is even more appropriate given the meaning of the prefix "philo-".)

Yes, I eat a balanced diet:
First, I start the day by
eating something very sugary.
Then I eat something very salty

Then I eat something else that

Then eat something very greasy.
Then I eat something salty again.
Etc.

Yes, all in balance..

If you get sick from eating

I was thinking..
Automatic text-correction would
for once actually get it correct
if it rewrote your reference to

instead as the
"Relatively Heavy Ion Collider".*

(But we would never be so lucky
as for automatic text-correction
to ever be correct,..
even unintentionally!
Oh, damn good thing I never use
it to try to type-up puns!)

*(Or is this actually where they
derived the correct name from,
I am now wondering? I hear that
physicists have quite the
sense-of-humor, very pun-related.
That's 'super-symmetry' for you.

Notable neologisms here include:

"Loga-rinthine" and "Laby-rithms" (from the 5th image's title): Transpose their prefixes for these two words' more mundane origins.
(And "labyrinthine" is an old word which means 'like a labyrinth'.)
And (not too much of a neologism) "Electromagnetisms" (from the 3rd image's title) is the plural of "electromagnetism", obviously.

Yes, "Trans-neurologism" --
"neurologism" in particular --
is a neologism.
And the third image's name is not
"Timelessness", you should note.
In the bottom image, "Quantal" is
not my word. It is the adjective
form of "quantum", and also has a
couple other meanings.
Regarding the first image's name:
"Meta-symmetry" might be my concept
or already an old idea, likely
something from mathematics.
In either case, it sounds like it
must be a philosophically advanced
concept, or seems so to me,
especially when in oxymoronic
conjunction with the word
"Unbalanced".

----------------------------

One last neo(compound)logism
I will post here, before I
look it up online and find out
it already is a word/phrase in
common usage, perhaps with a
definition much different than
how I intend it to be defined:

(Speaking of pretentiousness..)

My new artistic movement;
I will call it:

"Trans-Surrealism".

What is this, exactly?
Is it a style SO fantastically
unimaginable to be perhaps
even meta-imaginable!?
Super-imaginable, even!?
Hyper-imaginable, or is that
just going too far?
-

Oh, so, is it
hyper-super-meta-(even trans)-
existential, thus to be as
unreal as All?... Or as
metaphorical as we ourselves are,
or as is metaphor itself,
transcending how I misspelled
such wrongness, surpassing its
incorrect alphabetizations,
each ever absolutely unmeasurable
and as I indeed did dream?

Does it predate the periodicities
of our integers; does it equate
with its othernesses, yet plural?
Is/are its multi-valuations as
superimposed as every pretext for
prefixes? And those superlatives
are of super-lattices, yes.
And they are quite quasi-quantal
and negatively zero, and are
thus therefore therein as unreal,
herein equaling sidewaysness
drawn so oddly, not godly, never
also as we mega-macroscopically
contend, counter to each end,
to each counterclockwise machine
spun otherwise as phonemes or as
memes or hourglasses of refraction,
of reaction to retroactivity; then
becoming as retrograde as are
radioactive radios and TVs.
Tele-envisioned, static once was.
And we were weirdly surreal,
and trans-surreally
likewise as we were. Surely,
the poems are not those, are
not this sameness only composed
from perfection's enumerations
unencumbered by number. Ha, and
numbers too are now excessively
refrangible and entire, yet
without any apparently possible
or potential approximation.


(No, not a poem,
this improvised thingy.
So, don't get mad at me
for posting it.)

PS: I just learned the word
"refrangible" the other day by
accidently turning to it in my
dictionary. It means,
"Capable of being refracted".
This is the type of word I
really enjoy using in my poetry.
(And I will surely use the word
much more so than I, let alone
any other poet, ever should
use it).

Update: "Trans-Surrealism"
does indeed bring up some hits
on Google. There are more than
200 hits, but it seems many
of these are simply accidents
of online language, and are
unrelated to any artistic idea.

Some people before me have,
however, used this
compound-word to indicate
(an) artistic style(s).
I cannot say if this/these
style(s) are anything like I
myself had in mind for what
is "trans-surrealism". But,
of course, I really had no
idea what it was exactly,
or even vaguely, anyway.)

amount of very-muchness.
As in,
"Those Republicans are
getting SURREALLY
extreme lately."

(Also, "surreally" sounds
something like "surely",
as a bonus.)

I was just thinking about how much I liked the Mad Max movies, especially the second (Road Warriors) and the third (Thunderdome), despite Mel. Roadwarriors was so prescient, in that now days, as it turned out, we really DO go to war for gasoline. (Just ask the Iraqis.)
Too bad there are not actually now that many punk-rockers everywhere, though.

That is what pisses me off so much about this new century.
Here we have the ultimate dystopia unfolding, just like in all those post-Apocalyptic movies. (A post-Apocalyptic world without the actual {nuclear} Apocalypse.. yet.) But unlike those movies, we now have relatively few punk-rockers. And these times would be the absolutely PERFECT time for people to revolt by being punk-rockers! It was not as much so an appropriate time to be a punk-rocker back (when they were so much more prevalent) in the 70's, 80's (Although the Reagan-era needed them), or especially during the 90's. (Yeah, I too hated Clinton BACK THEN. But he looks really really damn good by the standards of these last 10 years!)

Surely, it was argued by others even as long ago as the 70's that the punk-rockers were not REALLY nonconforming rebels, but even were the opposite. But no matter how one defines rebellion -- even if by relatively ineffectual fashion-oriented means -- the will to rebel in-general just does not prevail like it once did, despite the much greater need for that social rebellion today.

And the internet hasn't helped, since it surely has given most of us a false-sense of personal rebellion. (Look at my blog, please. Please!)

Or, sadly, maybe we are just too lazy, or too afraid, now to rebel.

And some quotes for those
inclined to get angry:
(Not for me to use, though.
I only am a writer,
not a fighter.
No threats here, folks.
Just move along now.)


"I really want to
wipe those asses!"

"I want to smack the
smirks off those jerks!"

"Some people surely
need to be put out
of OUR misery!"


(Use if you want to, if you
are that kind of angry person..
And it is not like I could
otherwise prevent you from
doing so, let alone collect
any royalties from YOUR type
anyway..)
