Don't worry, John. We have now developed a pill that can help you combat reductionist mechanist syndrome.

to cleesify:verb: to hold forth humorously on a subject in a pompous, pseudo-intellectual and slightly silly manner
cleesification:noun: the result of cleesifying
cleesified:adjective:
cleesifly:adverb:
origin: derived from the surname of legendary English humorist, actor, author and silly person John Cleese.

Having recently met Rob Buckman, I have a John Cleese number of 2. I think that's worth boasting about (I mean, it's way better than having George W. Bush number of 2, which I also have).
