The Moana Problem

The Moana Problem, first coined by Matthew Walsh circa 2024, is a theory that suggests that there is really no cure to Racism, especially with children.

Basically the theory goes: you have two white children who both watch Disney movies. One white child gravitates towards white princess. Picks out white princess dolls, watch Disney movies with white princess, etc. Which is bad. Then, on the other hand you have the other white child, whose favorite princess is Moana. However, that child wants to be Moana for Halloween, which proposes Cultural Appropriation, if she were to wear the Pacific-Islander Attire. So “no matter which way you go… you end up back in Racism”.

“This is similar to The Moana Problem,” said Paul, who’s on a journey to defeat racism.

Not your problem

Neither is Anti-Semitism! Neither is Palestinian genocide! That one isn't even vaguely analogous to any of YOUR problems.

Hym "It's not your problem. But neither is anything else that isn't happening directly to you. So, whether or not a problem is yours has any relationship to how you act in the world."

Königsberg Bridge Problem

The Königsberg Bridge Problem is a historical puzzle asking if it's possible to walk through the city of Königsberg, crossing each of its seven bridges exactly once. Leonhard Euler proved it's impossible because there were more than two landmasses connected by an odd number of bridges, a key insight that laid the foundation for graph theory.

Graph Theory People: I love the Königsberg Bridge Problem.

Extraphysical Conservation Problem

The Extraphysical Conservation Problem refers to the theoretical difficulty of extending classical conservation laws (energy, momentum, information, etc.) beyond the physical universe into hypothetical extraphysical domains such as multiverses, higher dimensions, probability spaces, or non-material realms. While physics assumes conservation holds within a closed system, this problem questions what happens when the “system” includes parallel universes, branching timelines, or non-physical layers of reality. It asks whether conservation laws still apply globally, whether they are redistributed across realities, or whether conservation itself breaks down outside spacetime. The problem is central to speculative cosmology, multiverse theory, and extraphysical metaphysics.

Extraphysical Conservation Problem — Example

Imagine a multiverse experiment where energy appears to vanish from our universe during a quantum event. Later, another universe shows an unexplained energy surge at the exact same probabilistic moment. Locally, conservation seems violated in both universes, but globally—across the multiverse—the total energy may remain conserved. The problem is that observers inside only one universe cannot verify whether conservation holds extraphysically or is merely broken beyond their measurement horizon.

Extraphysical Thermodynamics Problem

The Extraphysical Thermodynamics Problem examines whether thermodynamic principles—especially entropy, irreversibility, and equilibrium—apply beyond conventional physical reality. If higher dimensions, probability universes, or extraphysical realms exist, it is unclear whether entropy increases there, resets, transfers between universes, or behaves in non-classical ways. This problem challenges the assumption that the arrow of time and heat death are universal features of all realities. It raises questions about whether extraphysical domains allow entropy leakage, entropy inversion, or entropy-free states, potentially enabling phenomena that appear impossible under standard thermodynamics within a single universe.

Extraphysical Thermodynamics Problem — Example

Suppose one universe reaches heat death while another nearby universe (with similar physical laws) appears to reset into a low-entropy state. If entropy can be transferred or diluted across universes, then the second law of thermodynamics may only apply locally. This raises the question of whether entropy “leaks” into extraphysical realms or if some universes act as entropy sinks for others.

Reality Demarcation Problem

The philosophical and practical difficulty of cleanly separating "base reality" from the many conceptual, digital, or subjective layers we live within. It's the problem of pinpointing where the shared, objective physical world ends and where human constructions—like nations, economies, or social media reputations—begin. Since we experience everything through the filter of consciousness and culture, any line we draw is itself a constructed concept. Is a border wall "real"? The concrete is, but the political meaning enforcing it is a constructed layer on top. The problem shows that "reality" isn't a single tier, but a tangled hierarchy of things that have tangible consequences.

Example: "Arguing with a flat-earther, I hit the Reality Demarcation Problem. I cited satellite photos. He said they're CGI by a global cabal. I was appealing to a consensus reality built by science; he was appealing to a counter-reality built by conspiracy. There was no shared foundation to even start the debate. The 'real world' wasn't a fixed stage; it was the prize in the argument."
