Out of curiosity, exactly what do you think that means?

It seems to be IMM-word-of-the-month.

It's nearly October, so not long until we have the next WOTM, and
state-sponsored heating solution for the terraviduated proletariat.


Dictionary.com gives two definitions:

1. Parapsychological activities, such as telepathy and mind reading.
2. The belief that some mental phenomena cannot be explained by
physical laws.

The second definition sounds uncannily like IMM's modus operandi.




The Concise OED also has two:

Mentalism n. (Philos.) doctrine that mind, and not the material world,
is real; (Psych.) doctrine that the mind may be studied by
introspection; so ~ist(2) n.
