Probadance Theory: A conceptual framework that integrates principles from Bayesian epistemology and critical rationalism to create an adaptable and self-correcting hierarchy of event likelihoods. The term combines "probability" and "dance" to emphasize its dynamic and evolving nature in organizing, evaluating, and updating beliefs about the likelihood of various events.
Ever since I started applying the Probadance Theory to my decision-making, I've been able to assess situations with greater clarity and adaptability.

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.

The quantum theory on rapid reversal of electron polarity is when a random shift occurs within the electrons of atoms causing particles to become entangled within an area. when a large enough number of the charged particles become entangled, there is a rapid discharge of electrons caused by the polarity shift. the energy that is released by this creates different types of plasma that lead to different phenomenon such as ball lightning.
The quantum theory on rapid reversal of electron polarity is what led to the creation of the ball lightning creating a beautiful, yet destructive wake in its path.

The scientific and philosophical theory stating that at any point of its' existence- there is at least one tomato either submerged, or floating upon any of the worlds oceans.
Me: "I'd like to introduce you all to Aflo's Theory-"
Scientists: "Oh? What is it?"
Me: "It is a theory stating that at any given moment- there is at lest one tomato in the ocean."
Scientists: "-And what, pray tell, is the purpose of this theory?"
Me, now revealing the backpack of tomatoes I brought to the beach: "Gazpacho."

Wow! That is a long ass article that says absolutely nothing. And you got paid for that. In it they basically say that 'NPC theory doesn't address how complicated the mind is and nudging and priming have replication issues in studies.' That's it. It wasn't a theory. It was a simile used to describe protesters (specifically) who have an absolute sophisticated understanding of topics that is fed to them from the top down and denotes how they do little more than run that script when the are speaking on those topics.
Hym "And 'Main Character Syndrome' is just more evidence that you idiots are treating propositions as though it's newton's first law and that for every proposition there is and equally true opposite position. But Main Character Syndrome isn't a thing. It relates to the soft solipsism that I always talk about but BOTH NPC theory AND Main Character Syndrome are blatant misrepresentations of what I actually said. I also wrote a Theory of Mind that was later used to create AI. So, lie of ommission. Reductio ad absurdum. And as far as the priming and nudging... I know EXACTLY what it's going to do in my case."
