Indoctrination of mindless conformity

Indoctrination with the sole purpose of getting people to mindlessly conform (i.e without asking too many intellectual questions) to your way of thinking
The purpose of modern of modern education isn't just propaganda by itself, it's indoctrination of mindless conformity, no questions asked

The principle that science, like proteins, can take on many different forms—folding and refolding into diverse structures depending on context, while maintaining its essential nature. Just as a single protein can have multiple conformations that determine its function, science conforms to different shapes across disciplines, cultures, and historical periods. Physics and sociology are both science, but they're folded differently—different methods, different standards, different forms of evidence. The Law of Scientific Conformations recognizes that this diversity is not weakness but strength: science's ability to conform to different domains is what makes it universally applicable. It doesn't look the same everywhere because it can't; it adapts to what it studies.
Example: "He couldn't understand why psychology didn't look like physics—where were the elegant equations, the precise predictions? The Law of Scientific Conformations explained: psychology is science folded differently, adapted to the complexity of its subject. It's not less science; it's science in a different conformation. Both are valid; both are necessary; both are science."

Law of Logical Conformations

The principle that logic, like proteins, can take on many different forms—folding and refolding into diverse structures while maintaining its essential nature as valid reasoning. Classical logic, intuitionistic logic, paraconsistent logic, fuzzy logic—these are different conformations of logic, each suited to different domains, each valid in its context. The Law of Logical Conformations recognizes that logic is not one rigid structure but a family of structures, all related, all serving the function of valid inference. Logic doesn't look the same everywhere because it can't; it adapts to what it's reasoning about.
Example: "He insisted that only classical logic was 'real' logic; everything else was deviation. The Law of Logical Conformations suggested otherwise: different logics are different conformations, each valid for its purpose. Quantum logic works for quantum phenomena; fuzzy logic works for vagueness. They're not less logic; they're logic folded differently. He remained unconvinced, which was logical in his conformation."

Gender non conforming

Used in the queer community to label someone who is not a binary.
I’m genderfluid, so I’m gender non conforming.

Murphy's Law of Getting Comfortable

"You can struggle for hours to get bearably comfortable --- i.e., warm enough, free of aches, etc. --- but then just as soon as you actually DO succeed in getting comfortably 'settled in' at long last, something unavoidable will come up dat will force you to relinquish said comfy position to go and tackle some disagreeable physical activity which will cause you to get chilly again, experience more bodily pain, etc."
Two "sister" examples of Murphy's Law of Getting Comfortable would be "Murphy's Law of Falling Asleep" (i.e., you can struggle for half the night or more to fall asleep, but then immediately after you finally drift off, someone or something comes along to wake you up again) and "Murphy's Law of Personal Comfort" (i.e., however comfortable you become will be in direct inverse proportion to da comfort of others in your vicinity; for example, da nearer you sit to a heater/air-conditioning duct, da more you will block da flow of said "moderated" air, and so while YOU YOURSELF may indeed feel more-tolerably warmer/cooler, EVERYONE ELSE in da room will feel even more uncomfortable than you would have if you'd sat a more-reasonable distance from said climate-control orifice. Or if you recline your seat on a public-transportation vehicle, said tilted-backwards back-rest will encroach on da extremely-limited "personal space" in front of da passenger seated behind you).
