Pseudoprofundity

Unproofread notes

Found this new word pseudoprofundity which consists of words "pseudo" + "profound".

Pseudoprofundity: statements or ideas that appear profound or insightful but are ultimately shallow or meaningless

Examples:

  1. "The universe is a mirror reflecting the infinite potential within us."
  2. "We are all interconnected, and every action has a ripple effect."

It's clear that pseudoprofundity works because of cognitive biases, desire for meaning, and also because someone with authority made the statement.
