I guess you also need to know about the various groups and institutions like the UNAT, the aforementioned New Capitalist People's Party, XBU, the Del Moth Collective, the Terrafilm Underground, Videogrammar, Cavelands Best, the Query, the Academy of Experts, the Technics, the Stalactites, the World Post-Collapse Coalition, and the Committee of Officers Against Time Travel Abuse. Of course, a background in time science is ideal, but not necessary, for full understanding
