Illusional Time Theory

The theory that time does not exist, popularized by British scientist Julian Barbour. It states that our minds have created time to keep everything from happening all at once, meaning everything that has ever happened and everyone who has ever been born all happened at the same time.
The Illusional Time Theory states that since time does not exist, people and things like Jesus, dinosaurs, Hitler, Led Zeppelin, the U.S. moon landing and the sinking of the Titanic all happened at the same time.

Theory of Offsetting Mistakes

This theory recognizes that humans are not perfect and that for every mistake in a model or schedule
there will be another "mistake" in somewhat equal scope to offset each other, hence rendering the model or budget still valid.
The idea behind is that things will anyway fall the way they fall and we cannot control for that.
The optimistic view is that this theory rejects Murphy's Law, the negligent take on it is the "Trust me, it will be OK" approach to life.
Decide where you want to be.
Accountant 1: oh, crap... we forgot to add $1 million in income from product X sales to the budget
Accountant 2: oh, fudge... product Y's revenue is inflated by $980K...oh wait... based on the Theory of Offsetting Mistakes all is well, the numbers we gave the CEO are still valid, yay.

Girl: oh, crap... your condom broke
Dude: oh, fudge... you miscounted your days, your period is due today at 8pm.... you are not pregnant, yay.

Hoop Theory

Noun: The act of approaching all types of girls correlated to taking different types of basketball shots based on their perceived attractiveness and the difficulty of the shot.

Lay-up: Asking out someone who’s chopped and pretty easy to get with. “Everyone warms up with lays, apart of every players bag”

Mid-range shot (Middy): Going for someone who’s debatable if you should go for that or not but it takes some effort, but still within reach. “Every great player has to shoot some middys sometimes, keep them humble.”

3-pointer: Tryna bag someone attractive, these shots are harder to take but not out of reach, one could go in. . “3 balls are essential to add to the bag, needa be proud of the shots you take.”

Logo shot: Pursuing someone extremely attractive and out of your league. Likely won’t succeed, but worth a shot. Do not recommend but every once in a while the shot is there. ONLY FOR 10s “Chooc’s favorite shot.”
Do you practice hoop theory? If so what’s is your favorite shot to take?

theory-function

A contra-referentialization of speculative realism's theory-fiction in which language (form) and function share a contrapositive relationship.

The basis of Hypermodernism.
Postmodernism argues that form follows function.

Theory-function the theoretical foundation of Hypermodernism argues that DESIGN follows function. Form is oriented as contrapositive to function.

Hypermodernism would use the meme and more metastatically the skeuomorph as a theory-function instance, ie., a meta-medium.
