The title “infohazardous glossary” sounds pretty insane. The contents of that webpage also strike me as pretty insane. The page is also structured as a glossary, and the concepts explained within it have very likely contributed to the insanity of the people who have heavily interacted with them. Therefore, the title “infohazardous glossary” seems pretty accurate after all.
My policy with this kind of stuff is to consider it harmful but also to consider it harmful to be scared of it’s harmfulness. Generally disregard, but also maybe play with it for a little bit if I’m feeling curious and sane. It is interesting yes, but also mostly wrong and can be harmful to those who are on an epistemically/emotionally shaky place right now.
I am thankful that the glossary exists, because it makes it easier to decode various Zizian writings, and makes it more difficult to sanewash Ziz.
For example, now I have a convenient proof that Ziz literally believes that there are two persons in each human. Not as a vague metaphor for “people are complicated”. Literally two. Literally in everyone. Literally persons, in a way that it makes sense to describe them individually as male or female, good or “nongood”. Literally believing that you can talk with the individual persons, make them argue against each other, make one murder another.
Which is convenient, because currently I am working on an article explaining how the popular “left brain, right brain” theory is complete bullshit from the scientific perspective. Which means, the Zizian model is bullshit, because it builds on the popular misconception. -- Without the glossary, if I succeed to write the article and it turned out to be convincing, fans of Ziz could simply say “but of course Ziz didn’t mean it that way, stop strawmanning her”. But now we have written evidence that yes, Ziz meant it literally that way, therefore all the supposed insights people gained from talking to their individual hemispheres should be attributed to some form of dissociative identity disorder, rather then each hemisphere being a person.

That’s the way Zizians speak. Everything must be said in the most hysterical way possible. Everything they don’t like is slavery or something. Every disagreement is addressed by a death threat (though they usually do not act on them). First it seemed like they were just hysterical idiots. Then they actually killed some people. Now it’s more like: murderous hysterical idiots.
Ziz believes her entire hemisphere theory is an infohazard (IIRC she believes it was partially responsible for Pasek’s death), so terms pertaining to it are separate from the rest of her glossary.

Oh. That’s nice of her.
