John: I don't go to church, I don't pray, and I'm not religious, but I believe in some kind of a higher power. Is there a name for that?

Steve: Yeah, it's called 'somethingism.'

Somethingness 

Share definition Flag
Being caught up in a perpetual motion game. Society is all about ‘somethingness’ - and making more and more of it. And since The Grand Machine of Perpetual Somethingness is designed, built and operated that way, there’s very little room for anything less than a whole lot of something.

Basically a big mudpie - with billions of people swarming all over it. And what with all the piling on, it can get messy, competitive and deadly in there. People become worn out by the struggle - unless they’re very rich. But the rich become worn out too, protecting their money. So in the end, there are a lot of worn out ants.
Somethingness is a philosophy that is similar to an widespread infection, but no one admits to having it. It is the opposite of Nothingness. It's like this: whenever you are doing something in your life, anything really, make sure you have some Nothingness sprinkled in - you know, to kind of offset all the I'm-really-Somethingness going on in the world.

post-somethingism 

Share definition Flag
An art movement developed in the early 21st century in the southern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. It is defined by its use of non-specific mediums and its general lack of standardised conceptualisation.
"I've tried abstract expressionism, post-modern feminist printmaking and romanticism but in the end, fuck it all. Post-somethingism is the only way forward in an art world defined by constraints."

Striver 

Share definition Flag
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
