Holograms

A hologram is someone whose philosophy is not their own; it is beamed into them (e.g., Offloaded Thinking). You cannot engage in productive debate with a hologram, because you are actually debating a massive Echo Chamber hivemind. If you challenge anything a hologram says, if you try to scratch beneath the surface, they will lash out. It is all they can do—it is a defensive measure.

A hologram has fallen prey to some measure of Echo Chambers, Offloaded Thinking, Passive Information Consumption, and a lack of Critical Thinking. To check whether you might be a hologram, you can take a core belief that you have and challenge it. If challenging it just makes you angry (especially deep rage), it's probably you. You should considering exploring your worldview through writing (Writing Is Thinking).

I have seen a lot of holograms who think higher of "their" opinions due to not understanding Credentials Are Not Capabilities (see point #2 as to why institutions have failed them).

I originally saw the term from @gatorraidactual, one of the analysts at the Early Warning Network. It kind of put words to some of the things I've been trying work out for a while, influenced by some of the discussion around egregores and my own background in PSYOP.

Guys are getting mad at this, but this isn't a real person. This is a hologram.

Sure, there are probably flesh covered hands that typed this tweet, but spiritually this person is a biomechanical goblin only capable of received opinion. And this is the opinion it received from the correct political magic practitioners.

This is not a genuine human capable of reason.
