Experiment Bias

The overarching bias that privileges the experimental method itself as the sole arbiter of truth. It assumes that if you cannot isolate, manipulate, and measure a phenomenon in an experiment, it is not a legitimate object of knowledge. This renders history, ethics, love, and justice mere matters of opinion.

Example: Dismissing the concept of systemic racism because "you can't run a controlled experiment on society." Experiment bias confuses one powerful tool for knowledge with the definition of knowledge itself, rendering most of human experience allegedly unknowable.

social experiment 

Once, ages and ages ago, when a useless samaritan wanted to piss on people for fun, they would be called "fuckheads," or "assfaces." These fuckboys decided that they needed an excuse to be complete dicks to the world, and thus, they adopted the term "social experiment" for their own.

Before the fuckboys came into power, a social experiment was done by a man of science, who wished to learn about the world around them, and they did so with the consent and agreement of all involved.

Not to be confused with a prank, a practical joke in which all parties involved can laugh about it afterwards, a social experiment has come to mean a cruel troll in which a fuckboy does something unimaginably stupid and rude and dismisses it as a practical joke.

Tragic.

Fuckboy Frank: *Shoots a dog*

Social experiment 

An excuse to troll people and/or act like a retard in public.

Did you hear about how a bunch of normal girls ran around asking random dudes if they wanted to bang? They called it a 'social experiment'. Bullshit, they're just trolling.
