Oogil Phenomenon

The marginal benefit of group dynamics begins to diminish after the group size exceeds four people.

Okay how's this

*group of four vibing*
Ooga: "Yo let's invite Chad"
April: "Haven't you heard of the Oogil Phenomenon? Inviting another person will kill the vibe"
Ooga: “Oh. My inferior Williams College education failed me.”

Batman Phenomenon

The idea that cencorship laws and restricting freedom of speech forces people underground. Creating censorship and imbalance in conversation forces people underground to operate "in the cover of night", just like Batman, fighting for what he believes is right, in which he battles with his own ethics and morals. The law (US law or country equiv.) Doesn't necessarily agree with Batman but understands why he operates in that way. Social media platforms are creating more and more batmans (who are moving to darker platforms). Which is creating a large social discourse bubbles as people who follow news which only represent their own ideals are becoming increasingly imbalanced by filtering out opposing thoughts and behaviours.

Twitter has perpetuated the Batman Phenomenon by forcing people to operate in the cover of night to push their own ideologies outside of the rules of the existing framework.

Pacman Phenomenon

This is the phenomenon when Filipinos stop what they're doing and watch the fights of Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. This when the whole Philippines stop just to watch the fight, therefore there is much lesser activity on the streets and the crime rate would fall. Filipinos are enthusiastic and very confident that Pacman will win his fights. That is the Pacman Phenomenon

Hey! I heard that there will be a Pacman Phenomenon next year when Manny Pacquiao will fight with Floyd Mayweather. It is confirmed.
