For those who have glory-worthy goods, the temptation is sliding from real striving after virtue into living off their past reputation.
In what follows, I will argue that this focus overlooks a whole range of familiar cases that arise from a sense of “glory-neediness” rather than a self that feels “glory-worthy.”

k-style
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Inflected forms:
Senses:
gloss: The consonant system of colloquial Samoan, differing from that of formal Samoan in a few particulars, among them the pronunciation of /t/ as [k].
pos: noun
tags: uncountable
examples: In a formal setting with an unknown papālagi visitor, a Samoan would be expected to use the formal t-style, but Ali’imalemanu started his performance in k'''-style and then switched over to t-style after a few minutes. Later on when he knew me better he mixed the two styles when he told me stories (and, of course, always used the k'''-style when we talked together with no recorder on, no matter what the subject was).
This study shows that there are two important linguistic styles in modern Samoan which are marked primarily through the alternation of phonological features. These two styles have been termed the t-style and the k'''-style. Most past descriptions of Samoan have failed to account for linguistic variation in Samoan, and in particular, for the k'''-style of modern Samoan.
The two styles are in a diglossic relationship to one another, with the t-style used to mark respect and formality in contexts such as preaching, prayer and radio broadcasts, and in conjunction with use of “chiefly language”, while the colloquial k'''-style is used in more intimate and/or informal contexts such as the home, when joking, and in casual conversation. […] There are numerous examples from our factory data where code-switching serves to establish solidarity or minimise face threats between Samoan team members. In all these examples, the speakers use the informal k'''-style of Samoan.

That cruisers talked to cruisers across vast distances like synapses discharging in a megamind could not be proven mathematically.
We've let ourselves become homogenized, seduced into becoming part of a group organism. We've bought the lie that achievement equals selfishness, and it has cost us our excellence. “I'm here to say that I am not a neuron in a megamind. I am not a standardized part on a social assembly line. ..."
Epstein has developed a number of online venues, such as InteLnet, "Collective Improvisations,", and "ThinkLinks," which strive to create a "megamind" of creative interdisciplinary ideas about culture, literature, philosophy, and other subjects.
Last, a possibility remains that some minds are physically or informationally recursively nested within other minds. With respect to the physical nesting, we can consider a type of mind suggested by Kelly (2007b), who talks about "a very slow invisible mind over large physical distances." It is possible that the physical universe as a whole or a significant part of it comprises such a megamind.

pos: noun
examples: THE rise of a class of voters dubbed the “Re-Leavers” could secure the Conservatives a huge majority in the General Election, it has been reported.
Perhaps it’s because the “Re-Leaver” theory (that many of those who voted Remain have accepted the referendum result and don’t want the result reversed) resonates, or maybe it simply feels stale to stage a rerun of the referendum campaign, but their ideas on housing, climate change, education and health were more compelling than their stance on how (or whether) the UK should leave the European Union.
He said that nearly half of those who voted to remain in the E.U. — the Re-Leavers — now just want to make the best of an undesirable situation.
A Remainer turned “Re-Leaver”, he wants Conservative MPs and members to know he’s a fully paid-up Brexiteer because, along with about 20 rivals, he wants to succeed Theresa May.
Labour Leavers (such as Frank Field and Kate Hoey) and Re-Leavers (such as Caroline Flint and Gareth Snell) would also vote against EEA membership – an alliance of those opposed to free markets and those opposed to free movement means May cannot simply borrow a majority from Labour.
Once there were Leavers and Remainers. Then Regrexiters, Re-Leavers and Remoaners.
