It depends on the context

A reference to the 2023 congressional hearing on campus antisemitism. Specifically when asked "Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's policies?" Harvard's former president Claudine Gay replied: "It depends on the context."
I know they said "all Jews should die" but that might not be antisemitic, it depends on the context.

A theoretical framework proposing that the laws of physics are context-dependent—that their form, applicability, and even validity depend on the context in which they're applied. This theory challenges the assumption that laws are universal and context-independent, suggesting instead that context is fundamental. The contextualism of physical laws might manifest in multiple ways: laws that apply only within certain scales (quantum laws at small scales, classical at large), laws that depend on boundary conditions (cosmological laws shaped by cosmic context), laws that are sensitive to observer context (quantum measurement), laws that emerge only in specific contexts (thermodynamics in systems with many particles). Understanding contextualism might reveal why physics seems fragmented—not because of incomplete unification, but because laws are inherently contextual, and unifying them requires understanding how contexts relate.
Theory of the Contextualism of the Laws of Physics Example: "His theory of the contextualism of physical laws suggested that the search for a theory of everything misunderstands the nature of law. Laws aren't universal; they're contextual, and a 'theory of everything' would need to be a theory of how contexts relate, not a single set of rules for all contexts."

Law of the Contextual Third

A principle that makes the availability of a third truth-value dependent on the specific context of inquiry. In some contexts, a third value (e.g., “undetermined,” “meaningless”) is appropriate; in others, classical binary logic holds. The contextual third rejects the idea of a single universal logic, instead proposing that logical laws themselves are context‑sensitive. It is often invoked in discussions of the sociology of logic or pragmatic approaches to reasoning.
Law of the Contextual Third Example: “In a mathematics proof, ‘true or false’ suffices; but in evaluating art, we need the contextual third—‘it works in this exhibition, fails in that one’—because meaning shifts with context.”

Losing the Farting Contest

1. Taking a crap
2. Trying to push a fart out too hard and going in your pants
I had a massive load of chipotle a few hours ago and, well, let's just say I am losing the farting contest.
