Otrovert - the personality type of not joining, or not belonging, in a world where the importance of joining or belonging is taken as a given.
December 9, 2025 at 9:22 AM
Read about the personality type known as the otrovert:

“Extroverts and introverts are inherently communal, while the otrovert is an outsider to the group. In itself, it is not a problem or condition, nor is it a diagnostic label.”

Historic speech by NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. The line (at 17 min 35 sec) which gives resonance to a new era in NYC and US politics, signaling a turn of the tide for Democrats, is “Turn the volume up!”.

Shared reality - the duality of social media. Shared reality is a beneficial and binding force when there is a positive and fact-based shared sense of reality, but a detrimental and divisive force when there is a negative and illusion-based shared sense of reality. psycnet.apa.org/record/2011-...

Views differ on whether there is any difference between the brain and the mind or soul. One view is that the brain is the same as the mind or soul. Another view is that the brain is related to, but distinct and different from, the mind or soul.
