Originates from game theory, (the field of math, not the Youtube channel.) The 0 is replaceable with any number, usually no higher than k1. Describes how many "levels" of thinking someone exhibits.
k0: I am going to play scissors.
k1: I know Bob usually plays paper, so I'm going to play scissors.
k2: Bob knows I usually play rock, so he will play paper, and to beat him I will play scissors.
k3: Bob is aware that that I know he usually plays scissors, and that I'll play rock to beat him, so he will play paper. To beat that, I will play scissors.
etc.

1: What the hell? The highway was completely jammed yesterday, but the second I think to come take this shortcut, the highway's empty, and the damn shortcut is jammed!

Get the k0 thinkingmug. To change a thought or view when it suits the person. Used by people who don't want to admit to being wrong but not realising that it shows weakness on their part.
An example of flip flop thinking:
"I voted for the reds in the recent election because they're the best party."
*Blues win election*
"I knew the blues would win - that's why I voted for them!"
"I voted for the reds in the recent election because they're the best party."
