Logical Orthodoxy

The established, institutionalized set of beliefs about logic that dominate Western reasoning—the often-unexamined assumptions about what counts as logical, which logical systems are valid, and how logic should be applied. Logical orthodoxy includes specific commitments: that classical logic (with its laws of non-contradiction, excluded middle, and deduction) is the correct logic, that formal logic is superior to informal reasoning, that logical validity is the standard for argument, that contradictions are always errors, that logic is universal and culture-independent. Like all orthodoxies, it provides a framework for evaluating reasoning, but it functions as ideology when it becomes dogmatic—making a particular logical system seem like the only logical system, obscuring how logic varies across cultures and contexts (Buddhist logic, indigenous logic, paraconsistent logic), and delegitimizing alternative reasoning practices. Logical orthodoxy determines what arguments are considered "valid," what reasoning is "sound," and who counts as "logical" versus "illogical."

Example: "He dismissed Buddhist logic as 'just irrational' because it tolerated contradictions—not because he'd examined different logical systems, but because logical orthodoxy had made classical logic feel like Logic itself. The orthodoxy's power is making one system of reasoning feel like the only way to reason."

Logical Projection

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."

Logical Marian Assumption

The Logical Marian Assumption, is the opposite, of my Illogical Marian Assumption. It's also, my joke, on The Marian Assumption, and a logical assumption.

Our Lord Jesus Christ, proclaims The Logical Marian Assumption. He says, The Virgin Mary, his mother, is pure, and chaste enough, to be brought, bodily to heaven! Amen! Another joke!

Logic Pretzel

A twisted, convoluted argument that sounds reasonable on the surface but makes absolutely no sense when examined closely. Often used by manipulative people to avoid accountability or dismiss someone else's valid feelings.

Etymology: Derived from the way actual pretzels are twisted into impossible shapes - much like how some people twist basic logic until it's completely unrecognizable.

Common characteristics:

Uses fancy words to sound smart
Contains circular reasoning
Makes the listener question their own sanity
Usually delivered with complete confidence
Falls apart immediately under scrutiny

"My ex gave me a total logic pretzel when he said he couldn't validate my feelings because they contradicted his feelings. Like, sir, that's not how emotions work."

Example in a sentence: "Don't let him feed you that logic pretzel - two people can have different opinions about the same event and both be valid!"

Logiosexuality

Being a Logiosexual means you’re mostly attracted to brains, compatibility, and reasoning instead of just looks or gushy romantic feelings. You connect with people who “get it” — the way they think, the way they see the world, and how well your minds click.Logiosexual doesn’t mean you’re some cold, robot calculator. You can feel super strong emotions, be outgoing, and love like a normal person.

You just measure attraction on reason-based facts instead of “they’re hot, I want them.”

You might still notice when someone is cute or attractive, but it’s not a crush in the usual sense — more like an appreciation or recognition of “good fit” energy.

And yes — Logiosexuals CAN be gay, bi, lesbian, pan, or anything else. Your orientation doesn’t limit your logical attraction.

That person is a Logiosexual
I identify as a Logiosexual, while still being gay.
Logiosexuality: adverb-someone who is Logiosexual

Logiosexual:Noun- someone who follows Logiosexuality
