Group theory

Field of abstract algebra dealing with how different symmetries relate to each other (e.g. are they equal? parts of each other? "multiply" to give some other group we want?)
There's a nice VISUAL introduction to group theory which is (imo) watchable at mid-high school levels (15+ yo ish): 3Blue1Brown's video currently titled "Group theory, abstraction, and the 196883-dimensional monster"

Critical republican theory

Critical republican theory is to take anything considered woke and assume people of color to blame and indoctrinate children when in reality the Republicans are just racist
Matt walsh had a critical republican theory that schools teaching about race is making him look bad so he got upset and cried over woke media

A theory that says reality from matter to minds to memes evolves through repeated cycles of compression. Each layer condenses the previous one, creating shortcuts, symbols, and versions of versions. Consciousness shows up when something can compress itself while modeling the world.
“TikTok shows the recursive compression theory in action: a 10-minute idea crushed into 20 seconds that spawns another remix that spawns another trend.”

Ferris Theory

A sheep mentality on how well music played in a nightclub or at an event is responded/reacted to depending on how busy the place is, and nothing to do with the music at all.
Getting a strong sense of Ferris Theory in this place, wouldn't you agree?

Geocrometricalistic theory

The theory of a “flat Earth.” Most commonly in the minds of uneducated persons, people who are stubborn and people who will always believe for what they believe in.
The Geocrometricalistic Theory is in the middle of an undisciplined argument in democracy against the people and the scientists that form an emotional barrier on how wrong this method is.

Category theory

Category theory, *very basically*, is the study of functions. ANY functions. ANYTHING that changes some object to another object is fair game here. Because of this FUNDAMENTAL property of "changing stuff into other stuff" being everywhere (lambda calculus, programming, normal math functions, even) it can reason about MANY disciplines of math, programming, and even language! So basically, it's universal tools for many things. Pretty useful! :)
My buddy has a PhD in pure mathematics and says.. "Studying category theory is like eating your vegetables." Not sure what that means but it has never left my mind. // Also it is technically composition not functions but shh we don't want to scare away the people who just saw this definition straight away
