Dynamic Human Sciences

The study of individual human beings as changing, developing, and adaptive systems over time. It rejects snapshot models of personality or ability, focusing instead on trajectories: how a child's language capacity reorganizes itself at critical periods, how an athlete's skill degrades with age and rebounds with training, how trauma reshapes neural architecture. Dynamic Human Sciences view a person not as a fixed entity, but as a process.
Dynamic Human Sciences *Example: Longitudinal studies of cognitive decline in aging are the domain of Dynamic Human Science. Researchers don't just compare 70-year-olds to 30-year-olds; they follow the same individuals for decades, measuring how processing speed, memory, and executive function wax and wane with health, lifestyle, and intervention. The person is not a data point; they are a trajectory.*

Complex Dynamical Human Theory

A framework for understanding human beings as complex adaptive systems: cognition, emotion, identity, and behavior emerge from non-linear interactions between neural, bodily, social, and environmental processes. It rejects simplistic models (rational actor, tabula rasa, pure biological determinism). Instead, it emphasizes feedback loops (self-fulfilling prophecies), tipping points (trauma triggering disorder), and emergent properties (consciousness from neuronal activity). This theory integrates neuroscience, psychology, sociology, and ecology. It is used to study identity formation, mental health recovery, and behavioral change interventions.
Example: “Complex dynamical human theory explained his recovery from depression not as a linear trajectory but as a phase transition triggered by small changes—a new social connection (feedback) that pushed him over a tipping point into a healthier attractor.”

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!

cornholio 

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.
"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).

Haram ball

A terrible style of football which is used to win games. Usually used when a team faces a better opponent and will get 11 players behind the ball.
Diego Simeone has mastered the art of haram ball. Atletico Madrid are the worst side to watch
