Biases in how facts are established, communicated, and trusted. Fact Biases include: treating some domains as factual and others as mere opinion; assuming facts are simple when they're complex; privileging facts that fit narratives; ignoring facts that challenge identity; treating "fact" as a conversation-ender rather than a contribution. Fact Biases are what happen when facts become weapons—used to end discussion rather than enable it.
Fact Biases "It's a fact, so discussion over!" That's Fact Bias—treating facts as endpoints rather than contributions. Facts matter, but they don't settle meaning; they don't determine values; they don't end inquiry. Fact bias is what happens when facts become idols instead of tools. Facts inform; they don't replace thinking."

Get the Fact Biases mug.Second-order biases about facts—how we understand what facts are, how they're established, and how they function. Fact Metabiases include: treating facts as simple when they're complex; assuming facts are independent of theory; believing facts settle value disputes; using "fact" as a conversation-ender; ignoring that facts are always interpreted; treating factual claims as beyond social negotiation. Fact Metabiases turn facts from tools into idols—objects of worship rather than contributions to inquiry.

Get the Fact Wrecked mug.A term commonly used online to describe non-consensual or coercive sexual acts involving the face, often misrepresented as consensual pornography.
In legal and victim-advocacy contexts, “facial abuse” refers to situations where consent is obtained through fraud, pressure, intimidation, or is violated during filming, making the conduct illegal rather than consensual.
The term is controversial because it is frequently normalized in adult content despite overlapping with sexual exploitation, revenge porn, and sex trafficking cases where victims later pursue civil or criminal remedies.
