Principle

Not really. You're defering the cost to 1 or several random families in the hopes that people will continue to lie for you.

Hym "But the best possible outcome for you is that I get what I want. The worst possible outcome is that everything I've said is true. It's not principle that is leading you to do this. You're doing it because you're a retard and that's the same reason you do everything."

Guy : don’t trust that dude.
Gal : Why not, he seems kinda fun in a dumb way.

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.”
