Mining for Pearls, Vaporlaw, and Quantum Sociology

Low effort long form post about some terms I coined/invented semi recently.

Thanks lisa.

So I recently coined a couple terms.

Mining for pearls:

As in looking for strings of text that will cause hypothetical readers to clutch their pearls. Shady media farming for salacious details and shocking bits with no interest in the relevant facts.

Vaporlaw:

Like vaporware, its a thing politicians do were they propose policy that they know full well will never be implemented, and the media reports on it like it matters. X proposes bill to Y, insert soyjack amazement here. Empty gesture to their base or whoever.

Bernie Sanders does this constantly.

Quantum sociology:

The idea that any group of people will adopt all possible positions on the topic to some extent if they are aware of them. Like if a question has four possible answers, at least one person in the crowd will claim any possible answer, collectively giving the crowd a superposition state of policy opinion.

Like you ask a crowd, is it a, b, c, or d. And they'll collectively say "yes." Collapse of the wave function or whatever in this context is when one position becomes policy and then people agree with it more after the fact? Sort of like the quantum eraser, they lie or even believe they always agreed with the new state?
