Critical Theory of Society

The application of Critical Theory to society itself—examining how social structures are organized, how power operates, and how society might be transformed. Critical Theory of Society asks: What is society? How is it held together? Who benefits from current arrangements? How do institutions, ideologies, and practices reproduce inequality? What would a free, just society look like? Drawing on the entire critical theory tradition from Marx to the Frankfurt School to contemporary thought, it insists that society is never just "the way things are"—it's a product of history, a site of struggle, and a project of transformation. Understanding society requires understanding its contradictions—and acting on them.

"That's just how society works, they say. Critical Theory of Society asks: says who? Society isn't natural; it's made. The way things are isn't the way they have to be. Critical theory insists on asking: who benefits from this arrangement? Who suffers? And what would it take to build something better? Not just understanding the world, but changing it."

Theory of Elastical Society

A normative and descriptive framework proposing that healthy societies are elastic—capable of stretching to accommodate change, dissent, and diversity without breaking into conflict or collapsing into rigidity. Elastical Society suggests that social institutions should be designed with elasticity in mind: flexible enough to adapt, resilient enough to recover, strong enough not to snap. The theory critiques both rigidity (authoritarianism, fundamentalism) and fragility (anarchy, collapse). A good society stretches without breaking.

Theory of Elastical Society "Their constitution stretched to include new rights, new voices, new realities—without breaking. Elastical Society says that's the goal: institutions elastic enough to change, strong enough to hold. The question isn't whether society changes; it's whether it stretches or shatters."

Fooled by Society Theory

A framework revealing how we mistake social products for natural facts, or cultural constructions for universal truths. Fooled by Society Theory shows how we are socialized into seeing the world in particular ways, then mistake that socialized vision for reality itself. What we take for granted—gender, money, justice, truth—are social products, but we experience them as natural. We are fooled when we forget that society made the world we see, and that other societies see differently.

Fooled by Society Theory "Of course that's just how things are, they said—meaning 'that's how our society arranges things.' Fooled by Society: mistaking the social for the natural, the cultural for the universal. The way things are is just the way we've made them. But we forget we made them, so we think they must be this way. Society fools us into seeing its products as nature."

iPad kid society

The moniker given to the country Indonesia as the country with world's highest average screen time — i.e. 6.05 hours per day throughout early 2020's, now 7 hours 38 minutes per day as of 2025. This Indonesian people's screen time is claimed to "rival that of iPad kids", hence the prefix "i-" in this slang term "iPad kid society" (meaning "the society consisting of persons who are addicted to screens") akcually stands for "Indonesia".

With everyone in Indonesia glued to their screens for over 7 hours a day, it's no wonder we call it the iPad kid society.
