''"[[Do it yourself]]" ("[[DIY]]") is the practice of undertaking the construction, modification, or repair of objects or spaces independently, without the assistance of qualified professionals or certified experts.  Academic research has described DIY as a behavior in which "individuals use raw and semi-raw materials and parts to produce, transform, or reconstruct material possessions, including those drawn from the natural environment (e.g., landscaping)".  DIY behavior can be driven by various motivations previously categorized as market-based (economic benefits, product unavailability, poor product quality, need for customization), and identity-enhancing (craftsmanship, empowerment, community seeking, uniqueness).''

DARVO

Deny, Attack, and Reverse the roles of Victim and Oppressor.

DARVO is an acronym that refers to a particular abusive behavior that applies when the abuser is caught or called out. It stands for Deny, Attack, and Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender: DARVO. DARVO takes many forms, but in wedge operations it very frequently takes the form of being divisive and then accusing the people who call it out of being divisive. It fits the mold: Deny: "I'm not divisive!" Attack: "You're divisive!" in such a way that it Reverses the roles of Victim and Offender. In this episode of New Discourses' Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this simple, common, Machiavellian trick used to steal power by divisive elements.

Decentralization

Centralization to Distributed Decentralization.

Decentralization (or decentralisation) is the process by which the activities of an organization, particularly those related to planning and decision-making, are distributed or delegated away from a central, authoritative location or group and given to smaller factions within it. Concepts of decentralization have been applied to group dynamics and management science in private businesses and organizations, political science, law and public administration, technology, economics, and money.

A deep state is a political situation in a state when an internal offices do not respond the official "elected" government. The political leadership is subservient to the shadow government and intelligence agencies, the true executive power.

It is an intensely secretive, informal, fluid network of deep politicians whose deep state factions effectively amplify their influence over national governments.

Rather than with publicly elected representatives, real and actual political power resides with heavily influential private individuals, corporations, networks, organizations, secret agencies and secret societies that exercise power and control behind the scenes, beyond the scrutiny of democratic institutions. They instigate deep events, in contrast to the public structures (shallow politics) which appear to be in charge of nation states.

Taking active measures, practices, and steps to counter perpetual all-encompassing surveillance by the evil corporatocracy, including uninstalling or abstaining from using their apps, products, services, and spyware in efforts to maintain privacy, personal affairs or business, and freedom of autonomy. Alternatives, solutions, compromises, trade-offs, and work-arounds exist to be embraced.

If the product or service is free - then you are the product being sold.
" Forget the cliché that if it’s free, “You are the product.” You are not the product; you are the abandoned carcass. The “product” derives from the surplus that is ripped from your life. " ~ Shoshana Zuboff, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism (2019), [ source[ Wikiquote ] ].

Much more than a boycott or opting out, de-Googling is important defensive resistance to tyranny, convenience and consumer cultures, censorship and propaganda, defiance of digital enslavement, and not making it easy for the deceptive, manipulative, exploitative, and murderous Machiavellian ruling class to dominate authentic humanity and steal fundamental rights.

Official narrative:

The Delphi method, or Delphi technique (AKA: Estimate–Talk–Estimate, or ETE), is a structured communication technique, or method, originally developed as a systematic, interactive forecasting method that relies on a panel of experts. Delphi has been widely used for business forecasting and has certain advantages over another structured forecasting approach, prediction markets. Delphi can also be used to help reach expert consensus and develop professional guidelines. It is used for such purposes in many health-related fields, including clinical medicine, public health, and research.

Dialectic

AKA: Dialectical method

Dialectic originally refers to dialogue between people holding different points of view about a subject but wishing to arrive at the truth through reasoned argumentation. Dialectic resembles debate, but the concept excludes subjective elements such as emotional appeal and rhetoric.

Hegelianism refigured "dialectic" to no longer refer to a literal dialogue. Instead, the term takes on the specialized meaning of development by way of overcoming internal contradictions. Dialectical materialism, a theory advanced by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, adapted the Hegelian dialectic into a materialist theory of history. The legacy of Hegelian and Marxian dialectics has been criticized by philosophers such as Karl Popper and Mario Bunge, who considered it unscientific.

Dialectic implies a developmental process and so does not naturally fit within classical logic. Nevertheless, some twentieth-century logicians have attempted to formalize it.

Dunning-Kruger effect

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias that describes the systematic tendency of people with low ability in a specific area to give overly positive assessments of their ability. The term may also refer to the tendency of high performers to underestimate their skills. The effect was formalized and empirically studied by the psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999. In popular culture, the Dunning–Kruger effect is sometimes misunderstood as claiming that people with low intelligence are generally overconfident, instead of denoting specific overconfidence of people unskilled in particular areas.

~ Dunning–Kruger effect[ Wikipedia ]

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of a task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include in their definition the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is defined as the tendency of people with low ability in a specific area to give overly positive assessments of this ability. This is often understood as a cognitive bias, i.e. as a systematic tendency to engage in erroneous forms of thinking and judging.

Biases are systematic in the sense that they occur consistently in different situations. They are tendencies since they concern certain inclinations or dispositions that may be observed in groups of people but are not manifested in every performance.

In the case of the Dunning-Kruger effect, this applies mainly to people with low skill in a specific area trying to evaluate their competence within this area. The systematic error concerns their tendency to greatly overestimate their competence or to see themselves as more skilled than they are.

Dynamic silence

A method of gatekeeping or limiting all access to the public media, pop culture, and monopolized official narrative to those with acceptable points of view.

  1. Stage one: Unwelcome folks are simply denied access nor reach to public broadcasting or mass distribution via access media.
  2. Stage two: Repetition of negative publicity and de-legitimization of unacceptable individuals or organizations until thoroughly smeared and slandered, true or not, in the public eye.

Dynamic silence is most effective with a collective unified message from all branches of the controlled legacy corporate media, and more recent social media.

" Freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. " ~ Elon Musk


Dysgenics

Also: Dysgenic effect, Dysgenic effects.

Dysgenics refers to any decrease in the prevalence of traits deemed to be either socially desirable or generally adaptive to their environment due to selective pressure disfavouring their reproduction.

In 1915, the term was used by David Starr Jordan to describe the supposed deleterious effects of modern warfare on group-level genetic fitness because of its tendency to kill physically healthy men while preserving the disabled at home. Similar concerns had been raised by early eugenicists and social Darwinists during the 19th century, and continued to play a role in scientific and public policy debates throughout the 20th century.

More recent concerns about supposed dysgenic effects in human populations were advanced by the controversial psychologist and self-described scientific racist Richard Lynn, notably in his 1996 book Dysgenics: Genetic Deterioration in Modern Populations, which argued that changes in selection pressures and decreased infant mortality since the Industrial Revolution have resulted in an increased propagation of deleterious traits and genetic disorders.

Despite these concerns, genetic studies have shown no evidence for dysgenic effects in human populations. Reviewing Lynn's book, the scholar John R. Wilmoth notes: "Overall, the most puzzling aspect of Lynn's alarmist position is that the deterioration of average intelligence predicted by the eugenicists has not occurred."
