Collectivism 

The opposite of individualism. The belief or socio-economic policy which states that the interests of the collective outweigh the interests of the individual and that the individual exists solely to serve the collective. Under collectivism the individual is subordinate to the collective.

Thoreauvian Collectivism

A concept that reconciles Thoreau’s individualism with collective action. Thoreauvian collectivism holds that authentic resistance to unjust systems requires both personal integrity and communal support. It draws from Thoreau’s experience at Walden (which was on Emerson’s land, with visits from friends) and his abolitionist work (collaborating with the Underground Railroad). The idea is that one can practice self‑reliance without isolation, building small, intentional groups that model the world they want. It is a middle path between atomised individualism and top‑down collectivism.
Example: “Their commune had private cabins for solitude and shared meals for community—Thoreauvian collectivism, balancing autonomy with solidarity.”

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
