get to post 

To solve a problem at minimum.
"Getting (it) to post" is the earliest point you can say "it works" without adding "technically," or the first thing that you have to do before starting anything else. Often implies that hard work and/or kludges were—and will be—required.

Derived from the "POST screen" (Power On Self Test), where a computer checks if all its hardware is working after being turned on; the first milestone in building/fixing a computer is reaching this screen.

"It took like four hours to get this piece of shit to post, but it's done."
"We can't even get to post without his say-so, and yet he's always late."
"Focus on getting it to post before making it look pretty."

Bernie Sanders Post-Nut Clarity 

When you've just nutted and a Bernie Sanders video pops up in your notifications.

1: "Bro.. I just nutted and a Bernie Sanders video came up in my notifications, I have Bernie Sanders Post-Nut Clarity now..."
2: "Huh?"

My First Post 

A post you make on any social media when you were 9 and didn't know that the internet was a horny mess and still maintained your innocence and youth, which you then fondly look back on as a chronic Redditor.

P1: "Hey dude, look at my first post."
P2: "Oh wow, you were REALLY young then."
P1: "What's that supposed to mean?"

Theory of Valid Post-Truth

The systematic elaboration of valid post-truth as a framework for understanding contemporary epistemology. The Theory of Valid Post-Truth argues that we are witnessing not the death of truth but its mutation—a shift from truth-as-correspondence to truth-as-performance, truth-as-identity, truth-as-weapon. It traces the conditions that produced this shift: the collapse of trusted institutions, the rise of social media, the weaponization of information, the fragmentation of publics. It doesn't celebrate this shift or lament it; it seeks to understand it, to map its contours, to navigate its terrain. The Theory of Valid Post-Truth is the attempt to think clearly about a world where truth is no longer what it was.

Example: "He'd been searching for a way to understand the new information landscape—the lies that felt true, the facts that convinced no one. The Theory of Valid Post-Truth gave him language: truth had mutated, shifted from correspondence to performance. He stopped trying to fight the old war and started learning to navigate the new terrain."

Theory of Post-Western Rationality

The systematic elaboration of post-Western rationality as a framework for understanding cognitive diversity. The Theory of Post-Western Rationality argues that the dominance of Western rationality is a historical accident, not a logical necessity—a product of colonialism, not cognitive superiority. It traces the development of alternative rationalities in different cultures, shows how they work on their own terms, and argues for their legitimacy. It doesn't claim that all rationalities are equally good for all purposes; it claims that they are different tools for different tasks, and that we need all of them. The Theory of Post-Western Rationality is the foundation of cognitive decolonization, of the recognition that reason has many homes.

Example: "He'd assumed that Western science was simply the best way to know things. The Theory of Post-Western Rationality showed him otherwise: Indigenous knowledge systems, Eastern philosophies, African epistemologies—all were rationalities, all were valid, all had things to teach. He stopped treating other ways of knowing as inferior and started learning from them."

Critical Theory of Post-1900 History

The application of Critical Theory to history after 1900—examining how recent history is constructed, how it serves contemporary politics, and what's at stake in its telling. Critical Theory of Post-1900 History asks: Who writes the history of the recent past? How do contemporary power relations shape what's remembered and what's forgotten? How are histories of trauma, revolution, and resistance told—and by whom? Drawing on memory studies and critical historiography, it insists that post-1900 history is never just the past—it's the present arguing about itself through stories of what just happened.

"We know what happened, we were there, they say. Critical Theory of Post-1900 History asks: do we? Memory is selective, contested. The same events are remembered differently by victors and victims. Post-1900 history isn't settled; it's fought over. Critical theory insists on asking: whose memory counts, and whose is erased—and what does that tell us about power today?"

Theory of Valid Post-Truth

A theoretical framework proposing that there are legitimate, non-pathological forms of "post-truth" phenomena—situations where the dominance of narrative over fact reflects not the death of truth but the recognition that truth is always mediated, always interpreted, always embedded in power relations. The theory distinguishes between pathological post-truth (deliberate deception, propaganda, conspiracy theories) and valid post-truth: the acknowledgment that different communities have different truth practices, that official facts often serve official interests, that what counts as "truth" in any society reflects who has power to define it. Valid post-truth doesn't deny reality—it asks whose reality counts, who gets to define the terms, and how truth functions as a social practice rather than just a correspondence to facts. It's post-truth as critique rather than cynicism.

Example: "He wasn't denying climate change—he was asking why indigenous observations counted less than satellite data. The Theory of Valid Post-Truth explains this: not rejection of truth, but critique of whose truth counts."
