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)."

Senior Principle Intern

An individual with excessive years of internship at the same company, without receiving a job offer. Almost always is paid at half rate. Deserves little to no praise for work accomplished.
Those papers from the Senior Principle Intern finally arrived on my desk this morning, they are excessively late and faulty.

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?!?!

Shirky Principle

The principle in which institutions, or any organization, will try to preserve the problem to which they are supposed to be the solution.

(In reference to Author Clay Shirky (born 1964), an American writer, consultant and teacher on the social and economic effects of Internet technologies and journalism.)
The IRS is a Shirky Principle organization. It will never attempt to totally get rid of tax evasion, even if it could, because the IRS needs to be maintained for reasons to find tax evasion.

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.”
