Yes, but that's only because she didn't marry Atom. Enya Goren is easily pronounceable, and Orinoco Flows like the perfect name.

Is there a name for this trope? The secret harmony that destroys the mind or whatever? Last time I tried to look up the concept all I found was Manchurian candidate trigger word or South Park brown note stuff.

i believe the scp project calls these things "cognitohazards" -- something that has a dangerous effect when sensed and processed by your brain. a picture that fries your visual cortex or the sound that makes your muscles stop working are both good examples. i think that medusa's power would also be a cognitohazard, since it isn't something she can beam out to anyone -- it only works when you are looking at and perceiving her. it applies to all of the senses. an extremely spicy hot sauce could be considered a taste-based cognitohazard. if someone with no sense of taste tried it, nothing would happen, because it doesn't cause any physical damage. the pain is all in the brain. a very bright light that blinds you is not a cognitohazard, because the brain doesn't have to process the light in order for the damage to be done. it's just a physical effect on your retina. there is also a related concept called a "memetic hazard," which is a cognitohazard that can transmit from one person to another. like a secret word that turns you into a zombie that only babbles the secret word.

if you’re into cognitohazards and memetics, I recommend qntm’s books. I think they’re all elaborations of their SCP writings, but I never got into SCP and quite enjoyed the books.

Apparently he's got some of his fiction organized into books, only There Is No Antimemetics Division is SCP stuff. Ed Stories are the earliest stuff and own in an "Ernest Cline but not garbage" way. Ra and Fine Structure are heady kinda hard sci-fi with "magic as a scientific discipline" as the setting

Is The King In Yellow considered a cognitohazard? I thought the whole thing with that 'play' is that it drives people mad, but maybe I'm thinking of something else?

it's funny qntm comes up here, since their best SCP work is about anti-memes also also their phenomenal short story Lena (free on the site) is now part of the new book announced just yesterday! https://twitter.com/qntm/status/1587506952703295488?cxt=HHwWgIC-pbPK-ocsAAAA

Mister Speaker posted:Is The King In Yellow considered a cognitohazard? I thought the whole thing with that 'play' is that it drives people mad, but maybe I'm thinking of something else? I would say so, but there's not a lot explicate about exactly what the play contains so it's hard to say if it's a true congito hazard or just magic which I wouldn't count as a cognito hazard (like Medusa mentioned earlier). Probably the best known is the Langford Parrot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLIT_(short_story), but there are also earlier sci-fi stories about mathematicians stumbling on ideas that soft lock the human brain. Monty Python's world's funniest joke could also be included, as well a short story about an infectious earworm phrase "punch in the presence of the pass-en-ger". As an idea cognito hazards seems to do best as a short story or a small element in bigger stories, so scp is a perfect home.
