Get the DeWitt’s Law mug.Named after Sinn Féin leader, Gerry Adams. Similar to Goodwin's law, this variation is an Irish version. When a topic is mentioned by an Irish person or on an Irish forum, as the length of the discussion grows, the probability approaches one that
(1) the IRA, Sinn Féin, "the troubles", Northern Ireland or The Irish Civil War will be mentioned.

Get the The Curve Law mug.Huxley’s Law is a name given to a rule posited by the British author and futurist Aldous Huxley in the introduction to his dystopian novel, “Brave New World”:
“As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase.”
It states that governments ease restrictions on sexual freedoms as a means to palliate the public as their political and economic rights and freedoms are taken away. This can be done as a means to refocus the public’s attention away from traditional value systems and mores to physical pleasures and to distract a populace by making them think they are gaining more freedoms than in the past, when the opposite is true.

The government’s focus on promoting sexual issues while taking away our ability to speak and trade is just another example of Huxley’s Law in action.

Furthermore, the Gorbachev's Law is the idea that if someone want to gradually change their beliefs in a Perestroika like way, will eventually lead into a completely rupture of the former beliefs and get new beliefs, the term was created to reffer to several esoteric atheists who gradually reformed from full esoteric into full atheists by supporting and even sharing atheist ideas on social media, even the opposite can also happen.
"Gorbachev's Law is really common on social media as well, it's not hard to see that on left-wing politgram and even in the right-wing politgram, and even in the classic example that originated this law, esoteric people on social media becoming atheist because of atheist pression and sharing atheist content on social media."
