Eric often uses terms or turns-of-phrase that some people may not immediately understand. This page is a reference source for those only. This should not be confused with more general topic areas that may at first cause confusion such as the DISC, EGOs, Load-Bearing Fictions, etc.

Environment of evolutionary adaptation
Efficient Frontier
Environmental insult
Escher's Hands Drawing Hands
Forced citation
Gating function
Genius vs Excellence
Irrationality
Irrationality is a feature not a bug. It gives us the ability to Camp and decamp
It's a beautiful thing
This originates from New York City.
Meaning: You can extract money from people with no say in the matter
Kayfabe
Long term vs short term optimization
Long/short positions (nuanced positions)
Maladaptive strategies
Minus epsilon
This originates from the epsilon-delta definition of a limit in mathematics.
No more heroes
Operation Cointel pro
Overton window
Potemkin village
Rent-seeking elites
Resource capture
Riding on a technical substrate
Samizdat
The clandestine copying and distribution of literature banned by the state, especially formerly in the communist countries of eastern Europe.
Selective pressures
Semi-reliable communal sense-making
Steady hands
This originates from Washington D.C.
"He has steady hands." You can count on him to do the wrong thing during an emergency to keep everyone on the inside okay Everyone on the inside is super dependent to burn all of their credibility in public
Steel-manning
The steel man argument (or steelmanning) is the exact opposite of the straw man argument. The idea is to find the best form of the opponent's argument to test opposing opinions.
Teaching disabilities
Not Learning Disabilities Differential diagnosis
The Observerse
There is no secret ingredient
This is a line from Eric's favorite movie, Kung Fu Panda.
Thinkquisition
TIM - Technology Intelligence Media
Umwelt
(in ethology) The world as it is experienced by a particular organism.
