Ethno-Cultural-Self-Actualizationism

Known by the Acronym ECAS (pronounced ee-kas) Coined by, Reuel-Azriel, in his book “Don’t Call Me Black, Call Me Bulan.

Ethno-Cultural-Self-Actualizationism" is a term that combines the concepts of ethno (referring to ethnicity), cultural (referring to culture), and self-actualizationism (referring to the process of achieving one's full potential) into a single word.

This term implies a focus on the exploration and development of cultural and ethnic identity as a means of achieving personal growth and fulfillment. It suggests a process of self-exploration and transformation that involves embracing and celebrating one's cultural heritage and identity, while also striving to reach one's full potential as an individual.

Many individuals find that practicing ethno-cultural-self-actualizationism helps them better understand and appreciate their cultural roots, while also empowering them to pursue their personal goals with a strong sense of identity and purpose.

Bahrain Cultural Trip

The Bahrain Cultural Trip (BCT) - an annual pilgrimage to Juffair in Bahrain where participants carry out ridiculous and futile activities such as taking a selfie with the topiary horse, drinking a pint in the World’s Shittest Bar and reciting their infamous poem, “T’was The Night Before Bahrain”.
Attendees are encouraged to get a red dot tattoo – known as the “mark of Juffair” - to mark each completed tour. The front runners currently have 8 tattoos (as of September 2023).

Belinda - "Darling, have you booked our honeymoon for August yet?"
Royston - "Yeah - about that...I'm going to have to duck out. Got the Bahrain Cultural Trip on that weekend. BOOM!!"

Convergent Cultural Evolution

Convergent cultural evolution refers to the phenomenon where distinct cultures independently develop similar traits, practices, or technologies over time. This convergence occurs despite differences in geographical location, historical context, or cultural background. It's a concept often observed in anthropology and sociology.

Wow, the Hindus and Christians both developed the watchmaker analogy to represent the dive. What a unique example of Convergent Cultural Evolution.

Japanese Cultural Obsession Disorder

Japanese Cultural Obsession Disorder (JCOD) is a disorder in people (usually white men. white women can be too) where they are obsessed with Japanese Culture. It can be a phase or chronic. Cases include:

Mild: Likes japanese culture. Watches anime but other shows too. Talks about it rarely so it’s not annoying. Eats japanese food a good bit. When someone doesn’t like the culture, they respect their opinion. This is Usually Chronic.

Mid: Loves japanese culture. They watch anime a lot and rarely watch other shows. They talk about the culture a lot, and they eat japanese food a lot. When someone doesn’t like the culture, they say “ok” but are mad about it. This can be Chronic or a Phase.

Severe: Extremely Obsessed with the culture. All they watch is anime. All they talk about is japanese culture. They eat japanese food for most of their meals. When someone doesn’t like the culture, they get super defensive about it and if it’s their friend, they unfriend them. In rare cases, they may even be part of the buddhist religion. This is usually a phase.

Please keep in mind that JCOD doesn’t affect Japanese People because this is their culture that they are part of.

The Multi-cultural Merry-go-Round

The Multi-cultural Merry-go-Round is when a guy sits in the center of your local kindergarten playground's merry-go-round while one of each female race stands around the circle naked and bends over ass facing inwards. The merry-go-round is then spun, which gives the man in the center a 360 degree view of all the asses around the world.

"Dude, my girlfriend let me ride the multi-cultural merry-go-round last night and I've never been the same!"
