The Marteen Principle

The principle that nobody gives a shit about the sport of track and field. This is based on the idea that no one cares who is faster because it is not an achievable skill, it is simply a genetic ability. The great philosopher Marteen stated that "it is Track and Field like having a competition on who's dick is the biggest, it is not actually an athletic competition"

The larger the mass of an object, the quicker the effects of the shrink ray wear off! I call it the Nefario Principle. I just came up with it now, actually.

The Apollo Principle

A big mission that unites people in purpose.

On May 25, 1961, in his address to Congress, President John F. Kennedy proposed the national goal of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" by the end of the 1960s. This goal was accomplished on the Apollo 11 mission, when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969, later returning back to earth.

There is a great story of the janitor mopping the floor at the Space Station being asked what his job was in the organisation. His answer was: ‘I’m helping to put a man on the moon”.

This highlights the Apollo Program’s 'secret sauce' - a big mission or goal to unite people in purpose.

A big challenge aligns people under a common cause like nothing else can.

The Garfield principle

Named after Andrew Garfield.
When a actor appears in a film/tvshow etc. making you aware of their existence, only to find out they have been in a large portion of your favourite movies or tv shows before and that you never having remembered them before now have no choice but to notice them.
Andrew Garfield appeared in The Social Network.
He also appeared in Sugar Rush, Doctor Who, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Therefore 'The Garfield principle' was born.

The Musk principle

If there are more straight men horny for a dude than gay men, then the dude in question is probs questionable at best.

When every straight man likes a certain guy, one should generally take that as a worrisome sign.
One crucial indicator about Elon Musk is that zero gay men are horny for him, but every straight man is. It's the Musk principle.
