Supposition

A theory is a supposition which we hope to be true, a hypothesis is a supposition which we expect to be useful; fictions belong to the realm of art; if made to intrude elsewhere, they become either make-believes or mistakes.
— G. Johnstone Stoney

Dealbreakers (MBTI)

We all have dealbreakers – that is, certain traits or behaviours that we absolutely won’t tolerate in a partner. Though many of us can agree on some common dealbreakers, each Myers-Briggs personality type has a slightly different take on which ones are completely non-negotiable.

Moral:
The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny, and it is useless for the innocent to try by reasoning to get justice, when the oppressor intends to be unjust.

The 8 Types Of Narcissists

QUOTE: As evidence kept mounting that mine was too, I wondered how this catch-all cluster of traits known as narcissism could seem to hold true for so many people. So, I set out to do some research. Then it dawned on me; narcissists have always been with us in great number. They just weren't labeled as such.

autecology

autecology

The branch of ecology that deals with the biological relationship between an individual organism or an individual species and its environment. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/autecology

The reincarnation of Granny as a Hamster!

cf. Therianthropy

Therianthropy is the mythological ability of human beings to metamorphose into other animals by means of shapeshifting. It is possible that cave drawings found at Les Trois Frères, in France, depict ancient beliefs in the concept. The most well known form of therianthropy is found in stories concerning werewolves.

Zoomorphism

Word for ascribing animal-like mentality to humans (opposite of anthropomorphize)

Zoomorphism is the shaping of something in animal form or terms. Examples include:

Art that imagines humans as non-human animals
Art that portrays one species of animal like another species of animal
Art that creates patterns using animal imagery, or animal style
Deities depicted in animal form, such as exist in ancient Egyptian religion
Therianthropy: the ability to shapeshift into animal form[3]
Attributing animal form or other animal characteristics to anything other than an animal; similar to but broader than anthropomorphism
The tendency of viewing human behaviour in terms of the behaviour of animals, contrary to anthropomorphism, which views animal or non-animal behaviour in human terms
The word derives from the Greek ζωον (zōon), meaning animal, and μορφη (morphē), meaning shape or form.
