Theory of All Facts Are Cherry-Pickable

The formal sociological and epistemological principle that because human knowledge is vast and fragmented, and because all narratives require selection, any political, ideological, or marketing campaign can and will build its case on a foundation of carefully chosen, verifiable facts. The theory states that the battle is never over "facts vs. lies," but over which curated subset of facts achieves cultural dominance and gets woven into the accepted story. Truth becomes a matter of narrative victory, not just verification.

Example: The Theory of All Facts Are Cherry-Pickable explains how two historians can both use authentic archives to "prove" diametrically opposed views of an empire—one highlighting its architectural achievements (cherry-picked facts of grandeur), the other its slave ledgers (cherry-picked facts of brutality). Both are factual, but the chosen narrative defines the "truth."

Absolute and Relative Facts

A distinction between facts that hold independently of any perspective or context, and facts that are true only within a specific framework. Absolute Facts are the ones everyone must accept regardless of their beliefs: water is H2O, gravity exists, you were born on a specific date. Relative Facts are true relative to a particular system: the fact that "this painting is beautiful" is true relative to your aesthetic framework but not universally; the fact that "this move is illegal" is true relative to the rules of chess. The trouble starts when people treat Relative Facts as Absolute, or deny Absolute Facts because they conflict with their Relative framework.

Absolute and Relative Facts "He keeps saying his 'facts' are different from my 'facts.' But gravity is an Absolute Fact—it doesn't care about your perspective. Whether this painting is 'good' is a Relative Fact, and we can disagree without one of us being wrong about reality."

Theory of Constructed Facts

The position that facts are not simply discovered features of reality but are built through scientific, legal, and social practices. A fact is a claim that has been stabilized—tested, validated, accepted, and made to stick. This doesn't mean facts aren't real—it means their reality is achieved, not given. The Theory of Constructed Facts studies how facts are made: the work required to establish them, the controversies they survive, the infrastructure that supports them, the communities that maintain them. Facts are real, but reality doesn't come pre-fact-ed.

"You think 'climate change is real' is just a fact that was always there? Theory of Constructed Facts says: it took thousands of scientists, decades of research, satellites, models, debates, and reports to construct that fact. It's real because it was built—and the building is ongoing."

That shit is farts

not even compostable, not even instructive, just a self-expiring puff of toxicity. A hollow echo of decay.

Imagine a fashionable latina teen critiquing the whole of Capitalism, "ugh, that shit is farts."

Law of Absolute and Relative Facts

The principle that facts operate in two modes: absolute facts (statements that are true regardless of perspective, context, or interpretation) and relative facts (statements that are true within a framework but may not hold across frameworks). The law acknowledges that some facts are universal—the Earth orbits the Sun, water freezes at 0°C at sea level. Other facts are framework-dependent—"this is a crime" depends on legal systems, "this is valuable" depends on markets, "this is beautiful" depends on aesthetics. The law of absolute and relative facts reconciles the reality of objective facts with the observation that many facts are socially constructed. It's the foundation of clear thinking: knowing which facts are absolute and which are relative, and never confusing the two.

Law of Absolute and Relative Facts Example: "They debated whether the company's success was a fact. Absolute facts: revenue numbers were real, measurable, undeniable. Relative facts: whether that counted as 'success' depended on profit margins, market share, and what you valued. The law of absolute and relative facts said: the numbers were absolute; their interpretation was relative. They stopped arguing about facts and started arguing about values."

I would eat a mile of your shit to smell your farts

A classic line to woo a woman, meaning that you would do whatever it takes to be close to her.

John saw her from across the room, she was beautiful, he wanted to know her. He downed a vodka and coke and casually made his way over to the bar to order another. "Voda and coke please" he said to the barman. He took a silent but deep breath. "I've been watching you all evening and I would eat a mile of your shit to smell your farts." She smiled, and said "come on then lets go to the bathroom"
