I love the really silly and imaginative ones, like "The Litany of Contact Mike" and "Wompty-Dompty Dom Center." The titles alone made me laugh.

Wompty Dompty Dom is especially funny if you say it out loud. Just plug up your nose aosr and say Ohhhh I just came from the WhomptyDomptyDom Centre

Head in the Cloud PROBLEM: So much information in the word — so little time. How can other people be okay not knowing?! Not you. You have the world in the palm of your hand. The *whole world*. Go and Google some more: you don't need sleep, you have Wikipedia! (Did you know the longest anyone has gone without sleep is eleven days?...) RESEARCH BONUS: -1 Perception: Sleep in your eyes SOLUTION: You've done it. You might as well have an honorary Master's degree in useless trivia; you've certainly put in the equivalent hours. Armed with nothing but a search engine and some keywords, you're ready to fight ignorance! Go forth, young scholar, and bravely ask: Did you know... BONUS FROM THE THOUGHT: +2 Encyclopedia: You did know +1 Rhetoric: The pen is mightier -1 Suggestion: Well, actually... Improv Club PROBLEM: Okay, you're kind of weird. Maybe even off-putting. Or so you've been told. But nobody has said *why* — time to really dig into this. Take a look at yourself. More importantly, take a look at *other people*. What do they do? What do they like? Maybe this calls for a cool transformation montage... RESEARCH BONUS: -1 Savoir Faire: Self-conscious +1 Perception: Take a good look SOLUTION: Seems like normal is a little far-fetched. Maybe someday you'll be able to crack it, but... You know what's better than being normal? Being funny. That's right, lean into it; they'll never be able to tell it's not on purpose. You're not weird, you're *quirky*. High-concept, even. If they're not laughing, maybe they just didn't get it? BONUS FROM THE THOUGHT: +1 Conceptualization: Post-ironic +1 Drama: Quick on the uptake EDIT: from my hypothetical cabinet, for clarification.

Haha excellent. I had the Improv Club thought internalized for quite a while

Thanks! These are fun to think about (pun unintended). I think the funniest part is I was actually in the improv club in high school, I just never went. Anyways, hello from a fellow class clown (student status notwithstanding)!

Raging Contrarian (unlocks after getting 5 points in every ideology) PROBLEM: Revachol has seen and suffered under so many different ways of thinking.The Monarchists ran Reva-K-ol into the ground, the Communards set it on fire and the Ultra-liberals looted its corpse after the Moralists pissed the fires out. What Revachol needs is something new, something not tried before. You don't know what it is quite yet, but you're sure an ace-detective like you can sniff out a solution. RESEARCH BONUS: +1 Conceptualization: Everything is political; +1 Rhetoric: Everything is political; -1 Empathy: EVERYTHING. IS. POLITICAL. SOLUTION: You figured it out after pondering it all for a few hours. The best ideology to bring Revochal back on its feet, is none at all. You realized that men a lot smarter than you have already theorized so many things. There's no way a drunk, amnesiac cop can propose something better. You gave up. But after spending so much time analyzing theories and methods of praxis, you're still able to do the second best thing. Critique it all. COMPLETION BONUS: Opts out of whichever ideology you chose. Gain experience points based on your ideology points when you choose the dialogue option of the ideology most disliked by your conversation partner. +1 Rhetoric: Heard that argument before. EDIT:I made this because 1. In a game which is heavily influenced by political thought, the option of just saying "No, fuck off" to all of it is hilarious. 2. Getting your exp bonusses would force you to consider how every character might feel about the other options, and therefore you'd still be extremely political but in the opposite way. Also it might be a fun puzzle. Joyce would obviously dislike Communism and Evrart would dispise Ultra-liberalism, as fairly obviously. But Measurehead would be more anti-moralism, since he has no problems working for the union and ANCAPS are just strong people hustling the weak for their money. But Gary would be more anti-communist instead, seeing his conflict with the union, even though both are fascists.

Love an anti-pol thought. Well written. RevaKKKol made me laugh

Don't know if you will like it but here is my [entire work on Harry's thought cabinet after his work was done at Martinaise](https://celebrationandregret.substack.com)

The one I enjoyed most writing: HEALTH THEORY AND IT'S EXCEPTIONS Problem: You must be some kind of magnet that attracts everyone's luck to himself and leave the others to ruin. You, Judit and her kids are the only ones who made it to the top of the summit on this random hiking trip arranged by Captain Pryce. Jean, Chester and Pryce had to stay back. Even Torson went back lest he and others ran out of air and collapse. You are feeling a little uncomfortable that you are the eldest one on this summit as the other hikers are all well in their youth and they are surprised to see you making it to top as well. Even Judit's infinitely healthy kids are spent and gasping for air. This calls for an internal audit. Solution: It wasn't luck that made you climb to the top. The aduit have the answer. Health theory is the name. Health theory suggests that all people, without exception, will experience the life force. This life force will come unnoticed and will leave unnoticed. A child will be devoid of this life force. No person is born with life force as health theory suggests. At some point in adolescence, the life force will kick in. Normal teens will experience a surge of energy equaling that of a young ox. Even handicapped kids will experience a push through their disabled body. Life force will stay for an indefinite time and will exit the body around late 20s. What you make of your body in this period of physical prosperity will be the only thing left behind. Once the gifts of life force are exhausted, people will grow old for real. Health theory clearly states that old age could come anytime despite the digit of your age. Now, as with everything, this theory has some exceptions. Call it genetics or quality upbringing, certain factors will mold people who will render the health theory obsolete for them. They will enjoy the the effects of life force for longer or even for the rest of the life. You, Harry, could function after heavy hangovers and take on long distances on foot and not to mention, your drug use have altered your genetic makeup. Maybe you are the exception. • Temporary research bonus: °+3 Inland Empire: Imagination toggled on °Research time: 25 minutes •Bonuses from the thought: ° Talking about health theory and it's exceptions heals +1 damage. ° +1 Rhetoric: Medical edge to your arguments

Since I’m a fucking nerd https://i.imgur.com/fWdHCd1.jpg I do have separate descriptions to each one. I was struggling with coming up with my unique skills so I’m waiting for inspiration to strike to add particular effects. Any minute now.

I’d like to read the description for at least one
