Group Greekage

When a large group of Ancient Greek soldiers (sometimes related) have an incredibly massive gay orgy during funeral games

Antaeus- “I can’t believe General Marnes is dead”
Phileas- “I know, right? Now get everyone together for a Group Greekage and we’ll all have some dope gay sex”

Hammertime group

A group out of Erie, Pennsylvania that frequented a Karaoke bar. Goldschalger flowed through their veins, cheap light beer and occasional marijuana. One member in particular would rip his shirt off while looking like sloth from the goonies and occasionally tie glow sticks to his nipple rings to create a chain. I have no clue how any of these guys are still alive.

Well would you look at that, the hammertime group is at the bar again handing out shots to the locals.

Theory of Constructed Groups

Zooming in from communities: the idea that any social group, from a corporate department to a friend circle, is an active construction where roles (leader, clown, skeptic), norms (inside jokes, unspoken rules), and purpose are negotiated and performed. The group doesn't exist before this interaction; it is constituted by it. "Team spirit" isn't a gas that fills the room; it's a practice the team builds through specific actions.

Example: "The project 'team' was a disaster until we unconsciously used the Theory of Constructed Groups. We instituted a stupid Monday meme ritual (building a norm), assigned Nick to be the official progress nag (constructing a role), and started calling ourselves 'The Bug Slayers' (narrating an identity). The same people became a functional group through these tiny acts of construction. The group wasn't the people; it was the pattern we built between them."

Read the Group

The real-time, interpersonal skill of discerning the mood, dynamics, and unspoken agendas within a small, gathered set of people (a project team, a friend group, a meeting). This involves noticing body language, who is making eye contact with whom, who is silent but rolling their eyes, and the subtle pressure points in the conversation. It's about sensing alliances, tensions, and the group's tolerance for certain topics in the moment.

Example: At a work meeting, continuing to push your idea when your boss has subtly shifted in their seat and two key colleagues have gone quiet is failing to Read the Group. The skilled reader notices the cooling vibe, pivots to "maybe we can revisit this with more data," and saves their social capital for a more receptive moment.

Theory of Secret Power Groups

A more pluralistic and less monolithic version of the "Global Elites" theory. It suggests the world is shaped by the covert competition and occasional collaboration of multiple hidden power groups: international finance networks, old aristocratic bloodlines, secret societies (like Skull and Bones), organized crime syndicates, and ideological cults. The world stage is their chessboard, and nations are their pieces.

Theory of Secret Power Groups Example: In this Theory, the rise of a tech mogul might be attributed not to genius, but to backing from a Secret Power Group of Silicon Valley venture capitalists with ties to intelligence agencies, using him as a proxy to control data and social networks, while a rival group of old-money industrialists tries to sabotage him.

Theory of Power Groups

A mainstream sociological concept stating that in any complex society, power is not held by a single entity (the state) or the masses, but is contested and exercised by a plurality of competing groups: corporations, unions, professional associations, NGOs, media conglomerates, and religious institutions. Politics is the process of temporary alliances and conflicts between these groups. It’s pluralism, but where the playing field is not level and some groups have vastly more resources.

Example: Environmental policy in a country is not set just by the government. According to the Theory of Power Groups, it's the outcome of a brutal lobbying war between the fossil fuel industry group, the renewable energy trade association, environmental NGOs, and utility unions, each pulling on different levers of power within the legislature, courts, and media.
