The Natural Laws of Bullshit is a work of satire — written with sincerity, read best with perspective.

It examines the patterns, paradoxes, and unspoken behaviors
that emerge in modern workplaces through the lens of irony, not accusation.

No individual, organization, or event is directly referenced or represented.
The characters, examples, and “laws” exist as composites.
Reflections of shared professional experience rather than depictions of any single person or institution.

If you recognize your workplace in these pages, it isn’t because it has been singled out.
It’s because the patterns are universal, the language is familiar, and the absurdities are systemic.
Satire, at its core, is not ridicule; it is observation sharpened by humor.

The intent is not to expose, reform, or ridicule,
but to recognize. Quietly.
The unspoken dynamics that shape how work gets done.
The tone may be wry, but the purpose is clarity.

Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and remember:
honest reflection, even when dressed in irony, remains the most dependable act of all.

I. John. The Dependable.
The one who keeps the system running while it quietly runs him.

II. Johnny. The Witness.
The part of John that watches, remembers, and footnotes what can’t be said aloud.

III. Johnny. The Footnote.
Overlooked, unseen, yet essential — the quiet conscience beneath the main text.

IV. The Footnote.
An insignificant lawbook of official absurdities — where silence keeps the record honest.

V. The Laws Deciphered.
From fragments and ironies, the invisible physics of dysfunction take shape.

VI. The Laws.
Unwritten, unspoken, unbreakable — the gravity that keeps nonsense in motion.

VII. The Genesis.
How endurance became observation, observation became record, and record became law.

The Manifesto.
Read Quietly.
