Projection of Bias

A cognitive bias where one projects the accusation of bias onto others while remaining blind to one's own biases—assuming that bias is something others have, not something that affects everyone. Projection of bias operates when someone says "you're biased" as a conversation-stopper, never acknowledging their own situatedness; when they analyze everyone else's motivations while assuming their own are transparent; when they treat bias as a flaw that only opponents possess. The projection lies in the blindness to self—the assumption that one occupies a privileged position outside the fray, that one's own perceptions are clear while others' are distorted. It's the meta-bias: the bias of thinking oneself unbiased.

Example: "He could list every bias his opponents had but had never examined his own assumptions—projection of bias, treating bias as something others have while remaining invisible to himself."

Projection of Rationality

A cognitive bias where one projects the claim of rationality onto one's own thinking while denying it to others—assuming that one's own conclusions are the product of pure reason while others' are driven by emotion, ideology, or irrationality. Projection of rationality operates when someone says "I'm being rational, you're being emotional"; when they present their own views as logical and others' as illogical; when they cannot see the values and assumptions embedded in their own reasoning. The projection lies in the invisibility of one's own irrationalities—the assumption that one's own cognitive processes are transparent and pure while others' are opaque and contaminated. It's a form of intellectual narcissism, the belief that one's own mind works the way minds should work while others' are broken.

Example: "He presented every conclusion as the result of pure logic while dismissing her reasoning as emotional—projection of rationality, assuming his values were just reason while hers were just feeling."

Project: SCP

An absolute shithole of people who have outdated 2021 "zilly carz :3" humor. Members also report playing Forsaken regularly. What it is supposed to be is a Roblox rip-off of SCP: Secret Laboratory, but it's worse in almost every aspect because the developers take no care or pride into the game.

Person 1: Hey, wanna play some Roblox?
Person 2: Sure, let's play some SCP games.
Person 2: What the hell is "Project: SCP"?
Person 1: I don't know, but I got a bad feeling about that game. Look for something else.

proctor

The act of ignoring, avoiding, or not seeking evidence as part of a routine law enforcement investigation as a means to protect the perpetrator. Often simultaneously occurs with the destruction and loss of exculpatory evidence.

After the captain killed his wife, the young detective proctored the evidence so badly a conviction would never happen.
