Pick One and Tell Me What is it.

That's difficult because there's not a single branch "of" philosophy, but multiple overlapping subbranches that all divided further and further with each difference in opinion and perspective.

I'd want to say Popperianism because I mostly agree with it's political philosophy and epistemological philosophy, but that doesn't help me with existentialism, and what might help me with existentialism may not help me with metaphysics, etc.

That's why I can't really say definitively one singular answer, though that's because I believe we should take good ideas from wherever they exist and reject bad ideas for what they are, regardless of origin.

Myself and many others share this sentiment. It's naturally one of the most effective ways to evolve our societies for the better. I'll have to educate myself on Popperianism. I'd like to become far more knowledgeable on the topics of philosophy and schools of thought.

I've watched several youtube videos detailing the CICADA3301 mystery/hoax.

A mysterious individual or group of individuals claims to be seeking out intelligent code breakers, crackers, hackers, by way of super oblique puzzles, of which there have been three confirmed to come from the same individual. No one knows the identity or identities of the people responsible, but most agree that it is rather elaborate, regardless of whether or not is it a hoax. Many speculate a shadowy government recruitment drive, others a bored group of cultured 4channers.

Those who solved the first puzzle were supposedly invited to an inner circle of sorts, to be interviewed to determine if their beliefs aligned with the cause, a vague mix of freedom/security/privacy buzzwords, according to one man who claimed to have interacted with a liaison of the group.

Accompanying the puzzles was a bizarre text, made up of what seemed to be an original alphabet. Deciphering this text is believed to yield clues towards the ultimate goal and perhaps something more, but it remains a herculean task.

Though inactive for the better part of a decade now, it remains in cryptologist's minds as an unsolved internet mystery that may never find a resolution.
