The Zeitgeist Movement

The Zeitgeist Movement is a grass-roots international network poorly organized crank movement promoting a changehttp://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com/mission-statement in the current spirit of the time (hence the name "The Zeitgeist Movement") that was formed in response to Peter Joseph's Zeitgeist: Addendum documentary (or, arguably, schlockumentary).
Basically a conspiratorial fringe re-hash of the Technocracy movement, their ideas are derived from multiple sources, primarily from that of The Venus Project and Buckminster Fuller. Indeed, the movement's Activist Orientation Guide defines itself as "the activist arm of the Venus Project",PDF and video despite their split with the Venus Project in April 2011.http://thezeitgeistmovement.com/faq#faq8 They consider themselves to be a "sustainability advocacy organization."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zeitgeist_Movement The community is largely concentrated on the internet and have their own live broadcasting shows.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/zmglobal/http://www.zbnlive.com/shows/
In a sentence: The organization is based on undirected whining about capitalism, accompanied by a belief that somehow computers should be used excessively to do all future resource planning for the purpose of maximum efficiency and sustainability, and that shortly robots will be doing most work — in summary, something one could call techno-utopianism, but with most corners cut and a dose of Alex Jones-esque thinking mixed in.
==Organization==
The Zeitgeist movement is organised into various different 'chapters' across more than 50 different countries, though just how active these chapters are is probably only known to those involved in themhttp://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com/ and differs greatly from chapter to chapter.
Recordings of most chapter meetings are freely available online, where all types of chapter-related matters like activity are discussed.
A quick glance at some chapter websites reveals they have at least some presence in certain university societies and at the local level. Nevertheless, most of their forum posting seems to be discussions about the movement's philosophy and what activists intend to do in the near future.
It is however difficult to measure if the movement achieves its goals seeing their sole intention is to be an educational movementhttp://www.tzmeducation.org/ and "spread awareness," it seems there aren't, given there has been a consistent decrease in chapters, membership, and Internet presence on a monthly basis (see chapter list on the website) and the userbase on the different Facebook pageshttp://www.facebook.com/tzmglobal/likes?ref=ts show a decrease.

The atheist's nightmare

*Banana argument
*Peanut butter argument
----
The atheist's nightmare is a term for the above two arguments made against evolution. It derives from the title of the video that explains why peanut butter disproves evolution and a quip made by Ray Comfort before explaining the teleology of a banana. While "the atheists' nightmare" was seemingly used seriously by the arguments' proponents, it was quickly appropriated by skeptics and online snarkers to mock the sheer ridiculousness of the arguments.

The powers that be

"The powers that be" as a phrase originated in of the Bible, where it characterises () the secular authorities (i.e., at that time, the monarchs and the aristocracy):
(Romans 13 does not appear to discuss (for example) the case of defections to North Korea to serve alternative "hyer powers". Or "hyer powers" that are grossly unfit to hold power, for that matter.)
The editors of the King James Version adopted the phrase, but modern translations prefer a less archaic wording: it's "the authorities that exist have been established by God" in the NIV.
Modern English vernacular language uses the phrase "the powers that be" with the same meaning ("the government"), usually in a satirical way. In the jargon of conspiracy theorists, though, it is used as a placeholder name for whatever sinister forces CTs imagine to be actually ruling the world. (Partially because they can't reach an agreement whether it's ruled by the Freemasons, the Illuminati, or the Jews reptilian aliens.) The phrase is usually abbreviated to TPTB, and it's often used by the rank-and-file inhabitants of forums like Above Top Secret and Godlike Productions.

Theodosius Dobzhansky

Theodosius Dobzhansky was a Russian geneticist. Born in Ukraine (then part of the tsarist Russian Empire) as the son of a mathematics teacher, Dobzhansky studied at the University of Kiev before moving to the United States in 1930 where he worked at the California Institute of Technology and at Columbia University on Drosophila genetics.
Dobzhansky was one of the principal engineers of the modern synthesis which united genetics and evolution, notably holding a gene-centric view: he defined evolution as a change in allele frequencies in a gene pool.
Dobzhansky was a tireless critic of creationism, most famously in his 1973 essay "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution", the title of which has become one of the most quoted anti-creationist lines.
He was also a critic of racialism, and used his findings to show that the biological features of races are socially constructed rather than biologically defined, and that distinguishing races was only (marginally) useful for the practice of finding the where a person's ancestors lived geographically.
As a Russian Orthodox Christian, Dobzhansky was a proponent of theistic evolution.

Theophagy

Theophagy means "god eating", and it refers to the practice of ritually eating what the eater believes to be the flesh of a deity. The practice is believed to have derived from earlier forms of ritual cannibalism, in which the descendants of a deceased person would ritually eat parts of the body of the deceased, so that the "spirit" and qualities of former generations could be passed on to the following ones.
==Types of theophagy==
Notable theophagic religions:
*Catholic Church - When in the Catholic Mass the priest consecrates ritual bread and wine on the altar of a church, a miracle is considered to take place, called transubstantiation, in which the bread and wine (Eucharist) are mystically transformed into the body and blood of Jesus Christ, which is then consumed. This practice is described in . Only Catholics who have confessed all "mortal sins" committed are permitted to partake (though some ignore this). If you go forward to the communion rail to receive, eating the Eucharist is required; you mustn’t simply walk out with the host and not get round to eating it. Desecrating the Eucharist carries the penalty of excommunication. Most Protestant denominations believe the Last Supper was to be taken symbolically. While many moderate Catholics also consider transubstantiation to be symbolic, the Catholic Church insists that it is literal. Of course the Church angrily denies that this sacrament amounts to cannibalism, while at the same time effectively insisting that it does. It seems that Rome also works in mysterious ways.
*Cthulhu - When stars align properly, elder gods eat you. (If you hold your mouth right, you may be among the first to be eaten.Chick Parody: Who will be eaten first? Archived from Jack Chick's Funnybook Gospel, 8 July 2009.) So yes, in Soviet Russia Cthulhu religion, god eats you!
*Lakota - (Native American plains tribe, one of the Sioux Nation) The Sioux in general believed they eat the spirit of the animal when they eat its flesh, generating many formal and 'daily' or 'casual' rituals and traditions to show respect to the dead ancestor spirit.
*Salish - (a northwestern coastal Native American tribe) The Salish believe the salmon is a god, as is the deer, and they must return the bones to the water to not bring harm to the family for eating the god.
*Mexica (Aztecs) - famous for their ritual sacrifices, they would often kill a man wearing a costume of a particular god. They ate his heart, thus eating the god. They also thought that eating a respected enemy would endow them with the powers of that enemy's god.
*Flying Spaghetti Monster - their god is not technically eaten by the followers; it's just that their god is naturally "edible" without any of that transubstantiation woo. Or whatever.Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster — About

Theorum

Theorum (rhymes with decorum, apparently) is a neologism proposed by Richard Dawkins in The Greatest Show on Earth to distinguish the scientific meaning of theory from the colloquial meaning. In most of the opening introduction to the show, he substitutes "theorum" for "theory" when referring to the major scientific theories such as evolution.
==Problems with "theory"==
Dawkins notes two general meanings for theory: the scientific one and the general sense that means a wild conjecture made up by someone as an explanation. The point of Dawkins inventing a new word is to get around the fact that the lay audience may not thoroughly understand what scientists mean when they say "theory of evolution". As many people see the phrase "I have a theory" as practically synonymous with "I have a wild guess I pulled out of my backside", there is often confusion about how thoroughly understood certain scientific ideas are. Hence the well known creationist argument that evolution is "just a theory" — and the often cited response of "but gravity is also just a theory".
To convey the special sense of thoroughness implied by the word theory in science, Dawkins borrowed the mathematical word "theorem". This is used to describe a well understood mathematical concept, for instance Pythagoras' Theorem regarding right angled triangles. However, Dawkins also wanted to avoid the absolute meaning of proof associated with that word, as used and understood by mathematicians. So he came up with something that looks like a spelling error. This would remove any person's emotional attachment or preconceptions of what the word "theory" means if it cropped up in the text of The Greatest Show on Earth, and so people would (in "theory") have no other choice but to associate it with only the definition Dawkins gives.
This phrase has completely failed to catch on—that is, if Dawkins intended it to catch on rather than just be a device for use in The Greatest Show on Earth.

==Kiwis and Chickens==
TheraminTrees argues religion and pseudoscience work in similar ways, in that both are forms of psychological manipulation that are based on faulty logic and exploit people's uncertainty in some way, such as by offering prophecies and predictions to people facing uncertain futures or by preying on those in dire sickness. He categorizes pseudoscience into two groups:
*Kiwis: Pseudoscience that has absolutely no scientific value, aside from perhaps placebo effect. The metaphor is that like , kiwis can't fly, i.e. they can't be used for conducting any actual science. Examples include astrology and feng shui.
*Chickens: Pseudoscience that has some shred of actual science, but it's bogged down by poor standards, flawed beliefs, or faulty logic, analogous to how a chicken can fly, but only with great effort due to its weight and poor wings. Dianetics is his example, as he thinks it has some hallmarks of legitimate therapeutic practice but believes it's far too occupied with the unconscious and beliefs like past lives and spirits.'science' of the gaps

Third Amendment

The Third Amendment to the United States Constitution reads:
==Parsing the Third Amendment==
This amendment was very relevant to the era in which it was first passed, since the forcible quartering of British Soldiers was one of the things that precipitated the American Revolution. It is considerably less relevant now as the US military provides housing for its troops - as do most militaries today.
==Criticism==
None! Zero! Zilch! This appears to be the only amendment nobody has had any issues with and can, generally, agree upon the interpretation of. But really, will that last?If the experts are to be believed: yes, it will last. Though this is likely to change with the Mayor of Washington D.C ejecting the Utah National Guard, who are considered soldiers under the law. in the midst of the George Floyd protests. The only federal court that has incorporated (applied a portion of the Bill of Rights, which applies to the federal government, to a state) the Third Amendment is the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which covers the states of New York, Connecticut, and Vermont.Engblom v. Carey, 677 F.2d 957 (2d. Cir. 1982)

Third Way

The Third Way (or Economic Rationalism, if you're an Aussie) is a school of political thought which tries to reconcile capitalism and socialism: combining market-based economic orders with redistributive policies. Basically, it involves admitting that a number of wealthy people got that way partly by chance, and that poorer people may be poor due to circumstances beyond their control.
Since they don't fall squarely into either the left or right, they are perceived as something distinct from both, but apparently not distinct enough to warrant a more creative name.
Third Way politics is as close to actual centrism as you'll get, although it has been dismissed as right-wing economics.Third Way? No way!, 19 October 1997. Many have pointed out similarities between Third Way Democrats and the pre-1964 GOP.
==Advocates==
The most famous practitioners of the "Third Way" came out of the reformist parties in the early-to-late 1990s, such as Bill Clinton's "New Democrats," Tony Blair's "New Labour" or the German SPD under Gerhard Schröder.
Others include the Australian Labor Party's Bob Hawke and Paul Keating (who invented the Third Way doctrine) from 1983-96, NZ's Roger Douglas from 1984 to 1988, Fernando Henrique Cardoso of Brazil, Wim Kok of the Netherlands, José Sócrates of Portugal and Matteo Renzi of Italy.
==Pros and cons==
There are many different models, but the majority leaned toward neoliberal approaches to government, most commonly:
*Maintenance of European-style welfare programs
*Centralization of government
*A bedazzlement of financial institutions
*Deregulation and privatization
*Hawkish foreign policy
*Authoritarian when it cares (union-busting, counter-terrorism), socially liberal when it doesn't (equal rights, drug sentencing)
*Naïvely technocratic
*Ruthlessly efficient at winning elections
In a nutshell, it was all about equality of opportunity, rather than the old-style idea of equality of outcome. Such parties occupied the political center for years, boosting their electoral chances. In most Anglo countries, the center has gotten very crowded since then, since every major party copied their moves. This reduced the overall distance between the left and right for a time, and so the term has mostly fallen out of favor (or is substituted with "neoliberalism"). However, the current upsurge of populism among both left and right combined with greater polarization overall has left it badly weakened. 
It also provided an acceptable cover for unfettered capitalism at every level. What the libertarian movement has done is drop this pretense.
==Other uses==
*"Third way" is occasionally seen and/or misunderstood as a euphemism for advocacy of fascism, though they're probably thinking about third positionism.
*Third Way is a British magazine of "Christian comment on culture" for reasonably sane Anglicans. 
*Third Way is the name of a neoliberal U.S. think tank.

Third World

The Third World is a phrase used denote the nations that were not aligned with either the United States (First World) or the Soviet Union (Second World), listed in order of development. Today, it is used simply to denote countries that are not very well developed, such as North Korea or South Sudan.
More recently, the term "developing world" has generally been preferred by some. Many people now break countries up into more new categories, such as economically-developed countries (EDCs), newly-industrializing countries (NICs), lesser-developed countries (LDCs), and least-developed countries (LLDCs). In they are known as periphery countries, being focused on exporting cheap labor and raw materials to the more powerful semi-periphery and core countries.
If you are reading this, you are probably fortunate enough to live in a newly developed country or better.
Unfortunately, "third world immigration" has become a dog whistle term used by such unsavory sites like VDARE and American Renaissance.
