Law of Resistance

Law of Resistance (noun):

1. A principle suggesting that consistent effort applied against internal or external challenges, such as doubt, fear, or discomfort, generates the momentum necessary for personal growth, achievement, and forward movement.

2. In a broader context, it refers to the idea that resistance, rather than being an obstacle, can be harnessed as a force to propel one toward higher levels of success, much like how an airplane generates lift by pushing against wind resistance.

How it works:
Internal Resistance as Wind:

- Challenges and obstacles (internal and external) act like the wind in flight. They create pressure and friction, but when harnessed correctly, they become tools for growth and personal evolution.

- Consistent effort and action represent the airplane's engines. The more we actively engage with resistance, the more power we generate to move forward.

- By facing and pushing against resistance consistently, we create "lift" in our lives—overcoming stagnation and rising above limitations.
"The Law of Resistance states that by consistently pushing against internal resistance—be it doubt, fear, or discomfort—you generate the force needed to lift yourself to higher levels of personal achievement and growth. Just as an airplane uses the wind's resistance to rise, engaging with your own internal struggles creates the momentum necessary to propel you forward in life."

Cencorme's Law

Similar to Godwin's Law, as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of the discussion descending into ad hominem attacks and nonsense fuelled by apparent hatred or dislike of someone's comment approaches .

That is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will begin making insults or start yelling about Hillary Clinton/Trump/Russia/shills or similar in order to distract and lead to forum-slide.

Coined on reddit in 2018 and named after a reddit user with the same name, Cencorme's Law originally referred specifically to subreddit discussions. It is now applied to any threaded online discussion, such as Internet forums, chat rooms, and comment threads, as well as to speeches, articles, and other rhetoric occurs.

When such an event occurs, the person guilty of invoking Cencorme's Law has effectively forfeited the argument.
redditor a: "I really disliked EA's latest game release"

redditor b: "Blame the Trump and Russians for that. They worked together to influence the developers..."

redditor a: "Classic case of Cencorme's Law"
