Emodynamics

A Xavierian school of philosophy that defines joy and good fortune as finite, outlining a zero-sum relationship between those that are happy and those that are not. Emodynamisists advocate hermitism and living in a state of emotive neutrality, martyrizing their own happiness in the belief doing so will directly benefit others. They are quick to label perceived excess and inequity as hegemonic, greedy, and egocentric.

2: Learning about emodynamics was like my mind getting smashed in the balls

Emidynamics 

A set of laws, proven by science, that certain woogs and Emilies must conform to, lest they break the laws of nature.

The first law of Emidynamics state that an an Emilie can not be sad, for she (in some cases, he) is too good looking.

The second law of Emidynamics states that a woog or Emilie cannot be stopped, unless through unnatural causes like pollution.

The third law of Emidynamics states that an Emilie cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred, as if made of energy.
If subject A classifies as a woog by urban dictionary standards, then they are beings of pure energy.

If subject B is classified as an Emilie, then they must govern to the rules of thermodynamics as well as Emidynamics.

Ecodynamical Systems Theory

Derived from Biodynamical Systems Theory, this framework focuses specifically on ecological systems—ecosystems, biomes, and global biogeochemical cycles—as dynamical complex systems. It emphasizes that ecosystems are not static equilibria but constantly shifting, far‑from‑equilibrium systems characterized by emergent properties, non‑linear responses, and multiple stable states. Ecodynamical theory is used to understand phenomena like regime shifts (e.g., forest to savanna), cascading extinctions, and the effects of climate change on ecological resilience. It rejects the idea of a “balance of nature” in favor of a dynamic, ever‑changing web of interactions.
Example: “Ecodynamical systems theory showed that overfishing didn’t gradually reduce fish stocks—it pushed the system past a tipping point, collapsing the entire marine food web into a new, less productive state.”
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh

SkyPesos 

Delta SkyMiles, also known as SkyPesos, is the frequent flyer program of Delta Airlines. It has a very poor value and hard to use.
- I'm trying to book an award flight to Paris, but I only have 70,000 SkyPesos
- Just forget about it, you don't have enough SkyPesos to fly anywhere.

1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.
