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.

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)."
