Get the Bush's Lawmug. None of us are as dumb as all of us.
A counter to the older, pro-teamwork adage "None of us are as smart as all of us."
Speaks to the risk of lower-level workers' input being useless if upper management gives its own opinion first, due to the tendency of workers to fall in line once the position of the leader (who could fire them for dissent) is known.
The wording above was written on a wall at NASA's Houston complex after the Challenger disaster, as reported by astronaut Mark Kelly, husband of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. Although the concept has long been known of, once it took the form of an aphorism, it acquired a viral quality.

Get the half-aunt-in-lawmug. The Matrix's law works in the same way than godwin's law. Whenever an online discussion about artificial intelligence progresses, it becomes inevitable that someone or something will eventually be compared to Terminator or any movie with an evil AI.
"Have you seen the last progress of Google's deepmind ?"

Get the Matrix's lawmug. Its for a group of boys who believe in their own laws and act as both judge and jury for the actions of the people around them, even if they are not part of the group of boys.
Essentially a circle jerk of guys who are in their own fantasy.
