Narrative construction

This (Jordan Peterson's most recent video with the military strategist) is the most blatant example of propagandists narrative construction I have ever seen.

Hym "And the purpose of narrative construction is to convince the audience to believe your delusion. So, let's take a look at the axioms of the narrative Jordan Peterson is trying to construct..."

Dr. JeepJorp "Hamas is using a human sacrifice strategy and making us violate the international rules of war."

Hym "No. It looks like Hamas' strategy was to take hostages and negotiate for rights and prisoners and it looks like the jews have been caught on several occasions lying about Oct 7, their goals, and their methods. They're not making you do anything. People either have to follow the international rules of war or the don't. Unless the rules are unjust in some way there's no reason for the Jews to be given an exemption."

Dr. JeepJorp "The Jews are a successful minority and are therfore a proxy for all successful people."

Hym "No, no one conceptualize the Jews as 'The quintessential successful minority' except for Zionist and their shills (Which is clearly Jordan Peterson). They invented their own morality, are the sole arbiters of when exceptions are allowed, and it's predicated on the blatant lie that they spoke to the creator of the universe. And NOW... They are actively running a propaganda campaign to ACTUALLY take credit for all of the 'good' things in society as though they aren't a delusion, genocidal, incest, slavery cult."

jamesian construction

the maladaptive daydreams of an insecure boy, personified by anyone with the name james. this type of person invents stories to make himself seem more interesting to those who surround him, but these know they are fake. the stories fail spectacularly

“james said he was getting it on with another girl. is it true?”
“nah that’s just another jamesian construction”

Scientific Constructivism

The position that scientific facts are not simply discovered waiting in nature, but are actively constructed by scientific communities through their practices, instruments, theories, and social negotiations. This doesn't mean facts are arbitrary or "made up"—it means that nature doesn't come pre-packaged into facts; we have to build the packages. A quark is real, but "quark" as a category required accelerators, detectors, mathematics, and conferences to agree on what was seen. Constructivism studies how these packages get built, whose labor builds them, and what gets left out of the final product.

"Before the microscope, 'cells' didn't exist as facts—they were constructed when lens-grinders, biologists, and specimen-stainers created the conditions to see them. Scientific Constructivism just asks us to remember that facts have factories, and the factories matter."

Epistemological Constructivism

The theory that knowledge is not discovered ready-made in the world but is actively constructed by knowers through their interactions with reality, their communities, and their tools. We don't find facts lying around like rocks—we build them through observation, interpretation, negotiation, and consensus. This doesn't mean knowledge is arbitrary or "made up"—it means that knowledge is made, not found, and understanding how it's made is essential to understanding what it is. Constructivism studies the workshops where facts are built.

"You think scientific facts are just out there waiting to be found? Epistemological Constructivism says: no, they're constructed through instruments, theories, funding decisions, and lab meetings. They're real, but they're also built. Respect the construction workers or you don't understand the building."

Destruction through Construction

The act of diminishing or destroying the original meaning or purpose of an entity (be it individual, location, building, group, etc) during the act of building it up (building up the image, adding to the building, adding more rules to a group, etc). Not to be confused with hype, which is the building up of expectation.

Guy 1: “Man the club used to be so fun, now its just a drag, what happened?”
Guy 2: “Destruction through construction, id say it happened when that one guy came in and added all those rules.”

Theory of Logical Constructions

The theory that logic is not discovered but constructed—built by communities, shaped by cultures, developed through history, contingent rather than necessary. Logical Constructions argues that what counts as logical varies across time and place, that different societies develop different reasoning norms, that even the laws of logic are human products. This doesn't mean logic is arbitrary; it means logic is a tool, not a revelation—a human creation for human purposes. The Theory of Logical Constructions explains why different cultures reason differently, why logical systems change over time, why what seems self-evident in one context seems strange in another. Logic is constructed, not found—and constructed things can be reconstructed.

Theory of Logical Constructions Example: "He'd always thought logic was universal—the same for everyone, everywhere, always. Then he encountered the Theory of Logical Constructions and learned that different cultures had developed different logics, that even the law of non-contradiction wasn't universal, that logic was a human product like any other. His certainty wavered; his curiosity grew. Logic wasn't less real; it was differently real—made, not found."

Theory of Scientific Constructions

The theory that science is not a pure reflection of reality but a construction—built by communities, shaped by interests, developed through history, contingent rather than necessary. Scientific Constructions argues that scientific facts are not simply discovered but produced, that scientific methods are not timeless but historical, that scientific knowledge bears the marks of its makers. This doesn't mean science is false; it means science is human—fallible, situated, shaped by the conditions of its production. The Theory of Scientific Constructions explains why science changes, why different cultures develop different sciences, why scientific knowledge is always provisional. Science is constructed, not revealed—and constructed things can be improved.

Theory of Scientific Constructions Example: "She'd been taught that science was pure discovery—nature revealing itself to patient observers. The Theory of Scientific Constructions showed her otherwise: science was made, not found—shaped by funding, by institutions, by culture, by power. The knowledge was real, but so was the process that produced it. Science wasn't less true; it was differently true—human truth, not divine."
