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.

This usually refers to Flat Earthers who don't believe that Outer space exists yet this isn't exclusive to them as some people do believe that space exists but that missions have only reached Earth orbit and not to the Moon or the other planets.

Get the Apollo's Law mug.Reed's law states that "the person who names a thing is often more powerful than the real discoverer."
The Missionary position is a perfect example of Reed's Law, as the position is named after Chester Missionary, an 18th century sex pest, rather than the caveman who invented it 1 million years prior.
