Get the <Mastered Projected Perspectives>I Look Like The Only Hole In The Wall I <Mastered Projected Perspectives> mug.A cognitive bias where one projects the methods, assumptions, and standards of science onto domains where they may not apply—assuming that scientific approaches are universally appropriate and that any phenomenon that doesn't yield to scientific investigation is therefore unreal or illegitimate. Scientific projection operates when someone insists that questions of meaning, value, or consciousness must be answerable by the same methods that work for physics; when they assume that what can't be measured doesn't exist; when they treat scientific standards as the only valid standards for any kind of inquiry. The projection lies in assuming that one's own toolkit is everyone's toolkit—that science isn't one way of knowing among many but the only way of knowing anything at all. Scientific projection closes off whole domains of human experience from serious consideration, dismissing them as "unscientific" rather than recognizing that they might require different approaches.
Example: "He insisted that love couldn't be real because you can't measure it in a lab—scientific projection, assuming that what doesn't yield to his methods doesn't exist at all."

A cognitive bias where one projects one's own epistemological framework—one's standards for what counts as knowledge, evidence, and justification—onto others, assuming that everyone operates by the same epistemic rules. Epistemological projection operates when someone dismisses another culture's knowledge claims because they don't meet Western scientific standards; when they assume that anyone rational would accept their evidence; when they treat disagreement as evidence of irrationality rather than different epistemic frameworks. The projection lies in mistaking one's own way of knowing for the only way of knowing—assuming that what counts as knowledge for you must count for everyone, and that those who don't share your epistemic standards are simply deficient rather than different. Epistemological projection is a form of cognitive colonialism, imposing one's own epistemic framework on others while remaining blind to its specificity.
Example: "He dismissed indigenous knowledge as 'mere anecdote' because it didn't meet his standards for evidence—epistemological projection, assuming his way of knowing was the only way."

Get the Epistemological Projection mug.A cognitive bias where one projects one's own logical framework onto others—assuming that everyone reasons by the same rules, that what seems logical to one must seem logical to all, and that disagreement can only indicate failure of logic rather than different logical frameworks. Logical projection operates when someone says "that doesn't follow" without considering that their interlocutor might be using different inference rules; when they dismiss non-Western reasoning as "illogical" rather than differently logical; when they cannot recognize that logic itself varies across cultures and contexts. The projection lies in mistaking one's own logic for Logic itself—assuming that the rules one learned are the rules of thought, not just one set among many. It closes off understanding of alternative reasoning systems, treating difference as deficiency.
Example: "He couldn't understand Buddhist logic that tolerated paradox—he just called it irrational. Logical projection: assuming his logic was the only logic."

Get the Logical Projection mug.A cognitive bias where one projects one's own standards of rationality onto others—assuming that everyone should reason the same way, value the same things, reach the same conclusions from the same evidence, and that those who don't are simply irrational. Rational projection operates when someone says "any rational person would agree" about matters where reasonable people differ; when they dismiss alternative values as irrational rather than differently valued; when they cannot recognize that rationality itself is culturally and historically variable. The projection lies in mistaking one's own rationality for Rationality itself—assuming that the way one thinks is simply the way thinking should be done. It's a form of cognitive imperialism, imposing one's own standards while remaining blind to their specificity.
Example: "He insisted that any rational person would support his policy preferences—rational projection, assuming his values were universal reason rather than particular commitments."

Get the The Amish Project mug.A 27 trillion Yen fund created by the Satoshi Nakamoto Group in October 2013. The Bitcoin Support Project was established in order to bring Bitcoin's value back up every time it has a major crash or investors lose interest in the market. The project ensures Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies dethrone central banks and give power back to the people. Analysts estimate the fund grows by a whopping 170% annually due to the "pump and dump" effect it has on the market. This improves the market influence potential for the next pump. Each time the fund has been used, the sudden surge in market value usually results in massive media coverage, attracting new investors and improving liquidity. An agreement was established for the fund to be discontinued once central banks cease operation due to fiat currencies becoming redundant.
Jerry: "Look, the Bitcoin Bubble's Burst."
Anna: "Nah, now's the perfect time to invest! The Bitcoin Support Project will bring it back, probably tenfold!"
