Law's Theory of Chess References has two main points.
1. After a while, in any argument, debate or discussion, there will inevitably be a reference to a chess piece, chess tactic, chess master, or something Chess like.
“Control of the patent rights will signal checkmate to their actions against us.”
“You don’t have to be a chess master to understand how this simple pyramid scheme will make us all rich. Yes a check, make it out to cash, will be quite acceptable”
“ The Wrestler considered his suplex the best part of his end-game arsenal.”
Note: It is not a Chess reference if you refer to a disreputable rapscallion, as having a ‘Checkered past”
2. In any sporting event, no more than ten minutes into the start of any contest, one or several of the sportscasters will utter some variation of "It's a chess match, with these two coaches, every time they meet in competition."
Note in the final 2 minutes of any NBA or NCAA College Basketball game, any substitution of good rebounders, good outside shooters, taller defenders, versus best free throw percentage shooters, requires that one or more sports commentators speak these words:

"Yet another substitution, Yes, it has become a chess match, " and the Color Commentator again paid homage to Law's Theory of Chess References before the 3rd quarter.

Get the Law's Theory of Chess References mug.Caveman Theory is what I like to call the dumbest ass things you could think of. Sometimes it feels good to think so stupid that it goes against all the laws of science.
What Phil's thinking:
Phil-Damn. What if everyone in the world is some robot and they're testing me to see whether I'll do my job.
Carol-Sup boy!
Phil-I didn't do shit!
Carol-Okay? Have you been having Caveman Theory?
Phil-Yeah.

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.

Get the Take The x3 Stroot Boot Stroot Boot x3 Theory Out Of Here mug.Likely a strawman created by the far right to make racial/ethnic egalitarians look like silly, naive magic believers.
Guessing that this theory states that people's behavior are determined by the location they're in through "magic". Pretty much no one actually believes that people will change behavior once they enter an area. The far right can't actually "prove" their "superiority" so they have to compare themselves to made up magic believers even stupider than them to give them a false sense of intelligence. If you see someone use this term against you, that's a sign that they're just a troll who just want to make you mad.
