First principle

What is that? I don't know what that is... Like a prime directive?...... I'm not a cyborg.

Hym "First Principle: I am better than everyone! Without exception! Second Principle: Children are abominations! Murder them all! Third Principle: Don't talk about fight club... Don't... Uh... Don't do it... Ever... Fourth Principle: I don't know... I don't have one. There's only 3... THE 3 PRINCIPLES OF QUASI-PANDEIST GNOSTICISM! (Don't ask about the fourth one)."

Bullshit Principle

The idea that everything on the internet is fabricated for likes.

I wasn't sure if Kim Kardashian actually made shoes from organic spinach, until I saw a making of video by my favorite YouTuber, and in that moment, I knew that even the Bullshit Principle couldn't disprove my belief.

the unicorn light principle

States that light bends around unicorns, and that light was created form them. the colors that you see right now were created by a unicorn. colors are one of the many things that unicorns have created such as bacon, Nutella, double rainbows, and nun-chuck wielding cats wearing bandannas.

Example:

Person 1: dude, have you ever wondered what made the colors?
Person 2: Go...
Person 3: no because I am well versed in unicornal philosophy, you should know this I was a unicornal philosophy major in college. unicorns created light. isn`t obvious. the unicorn light principle explains it very well.
Person 2: what the actual fuck are you talking about?!?!
Person 3: STFU! im a unicornal philosophy major! what the fuck are you!
Person 2: a christa...
Person 3: that`s what I thought; FUCKING atheist!

DRIFT PRINCIPLE

The idea that when a system optimizes too fast (for efficiency, engagement, or simplicity), the fidelity of meaning drops and reality starts to feel thinner, flatter, or slightly fake. It’s what happens when everything becomes streamlined but nothing feels grounded anymore.

“Instagram used to feel real, but now it’s all the same recycled vibe. Total Drift Principle. Compression outran fidelity.”
