Get the carl rodney spencer mug.A phrase I have apparently hallucinated as being in Metal Gear Solid 3/Delta, yet it still fits the vibe of Metal Gear Solid. I thought it came from the first radio call with Major Zero in MGS 3/Delta, but after rewatching that part, I was wrong.
("You're a ghost, Snake, in every sense of the word." is the phrase I wanted to put in the definition box, but it has to be said in the same order to post.)

The process by which certain beliefs become elevated to the status of "common sense" precisely because they have been confirmed so often, by so many, for so long, that their confirmation is no longer visible as an active process. Common sense feels like direct perception of reality, not a hypothesis, because its confirmation history is buried in cultural memory. This bias hides the contingency of these beliefs, making alternatives seem not just wrong, but insane. Common sense is the ghost of confirmation bias after it has become invisible.
Confirmation Bias of Common Sense Example: In 1700, it was common sense that the Earth was young and that kings ruled by divine right. These weren't beliefs; they were the backdrop of reality. Questioning them was folly. Today, common sense includes human rights and germ theory. Confirmation Bias of Common Sense reveals that yesterday's common sense was just a massively confirmed hypothesis, and today's will be tomorrow's historical curiosity. The bias is in forgetting that all sense was once nonsense.

Get the Confirmation Bias of Common Sense mug.The advanced tactic of shifting the criteria for what counts as "sensible" after your opponent has already demonstrated that their argument meets the previous criteria. First, they call your argument nonsense. You explain it clearly. They move the sensepost: "Well, it's still nonsense because you didn't address X." You address X. They move again: "It's nonsense because your tone is wrong." You adjust your tone. They move again: "It's nonsense because I don't like you." The sensepost keeps moving because the real claim is not that your argument is nonsensical but that they don't want to accept it, and no amount of sense-making will overcome unwillingness. Moving the sensepost is how people maintain the illusion of rationality while being completely irrational.
Moving the Sensepost Example: "She explained her position clearly. He said it was nonsense. She explained again, with examples. He moved the sensepost: 'Nonsense because you're using examples, not data.' She provided data. He moved again: 'Nonsense because your data is from biased sources.' She provided multiple sources. He moved again: 'Nonsense because I've decided nothing will convince me.' The sensepost had moved beyond sense entirely, into the pure territory of refusal."
