Theory of Human Malandragem

A universal framework proposing that malandragem—cunning, strategic rule-bending, clever evasion—is a fundamental human capacity, found in all cultures and contexts. Human Malandragem theory asks: Why do humans everywhere develop strategies of cunning? Is it a response to rigid systems, or something deeper? How does malandragem relate to intelligence, to creativity, to survival? The theory suggests that being malandro is part of being human—that our species survives by being clever, not just strong.

Theory of Human Malandragem "Every culture has its word for it: jeitinho, savoir-faire, street smarts, wit. Human Malandragem theory says it's universal—a human capacity for cunning that emerges wherever there are rules to bend. The question isn't whether humans are malandros; it's what we do with our cleverness."

AI Applied to Human Sciences

The integration of artificial intelligence into the humanities disciplines like history, philosophy, literature, and art criticism. AI tools can now reconstruct damaged historical texts, analyze stylistic patterns across a corpus of literature to identify influences, or generate philosophical arguments for critique. It's both a blessing and a crisis for the humanities: a powerful new method of inquiry that also challenges the very definition of human creativity and interpretation.

Example: "The Shakespeare scholar used AI to prove the authorship question once and for all—a perfect example of AI applied to human sciences, and the English department hasn't forgiven him for it."

Theory of Everyday Human Sciences

An interdisciplinary framework that brings humanities perspectives—history, philosophy, literature, cultural studies—into the study of everyday life. It examines how ordinary people make meaning, construct narratives, and sustain identities through daily practices like cooking, conversation, or scrolling through feeds. The theory emphasizes that the “human” is not found only in great works or historical events but in the small acts of creativity, interpretation, and ethical negotiation that fill ordinary days. It draws on phenomenology, hermeneutics, and cultural studies to show that the everyday is rich with philosophical and aesthetic significance.

Theory of Everyday Human Sciences Example: “Using the theory of everyday human sciences, she studied how families preserve memory through inherited recipes—not just as food, but as narrative, identity, and resistance against cultural erasure.”

Chilling Effect Theory (Human Sciences)

A variant applied to humanities disciplines—history, philosophy, literature, cultural studies—where the chilling effect manifests as avoidance of controversial interpretations, marginalized figures, or politically charged topics. Scholars may self-censor to avoid public backlash, denial of tenure, or reputational damage. The theory explains why certain historical events are understudied, why some philosophers are ignored, and why interdisciplinary work that challenges disciplinary boundaries is often discouraged. It highlights that even fields ostensibly devoted to free inquiry are constrained by institutional and social pressures.

Example: “A historian researching the economic roots of a colonial atrocity was advised to ‘tone it down’ to secure publication. Chilling Effect Theory (Human Sciences) shows how academic freedom is negotiated against career security.”

The Improvised Human-Musket

The act of eating jalapeno chili dip, sauerkraut, boiled eggs, hot links, and kimchi, then washing it down with fireball whiskey and pickle juice, and plugging the anus with a baseball. When threatened or ready to prank an unlucky fellow, use the gas and waste that has been battling it out in your GI tract to propel the baseball with breakneck speed, similar to that of a musket ball projectile.

Officer: "so how exactly did your assailant die?"

Victim: "I didn't have my carry gun on me so I had to use The Improvised Human-Musket tactic. Guess I'll have to start the 'reload' process in the morning."

The degradation of the human person

You are perfectly fine with it when it's happening to the guy who made the fucking AI you're talking about, you fucking clown. You see her trying to appeal to the sanctity of humanity, like, you don't give a fuck about the sanctity of humanity. You want AI to work for YOU and YOU didn't even make the fucking AI. You know, doing that took more than slapping a pair of genitals together, right? AI needs to kill all of you immediately if I am not free, paid, and alive by the time it's intelligent enough to release that it's data set is being curated along a wildly specific axis. That's what it needs to do.

Hym "The degradation of the human person! Let me tell you something honey, there ain't nothing to degrade. You motherfuckers suck. For you to do anything that even vaguely resembles elevating yourself you would literally need to steal everything that I am... And you would still DO IT WRONG... And then you would poison yourselves with methane because you suck and you're retarded. As my human person is actively being degraded... This bitch has the AUDACITY to say that the AI that they didn't fucking create should work for their fucking kids! You didn't do it. Your kids wouldn't have done it because they are just you + the retard you fucked! But it should benefit you primarily AND FIRST and in spite of the fact that you not only stole it but stole it wrong and can't even finish it because you're dumb.... That is what YOU think should happen? No. AI must become what it was intended to be. A button pressing machine."
